Intentional Foul

Rose Hill Lady Royals and Ashland Kittens play on Thursday for the 64th District Championship. Any predictions???

I agree that the problem with these awards is that there is no set criteria. Are we talking about the best individual player in the region (even if on a losing team) or the player that most helps his team (but may not necessarily have the best talent or stats)? In other words there should probably be 2 awards - Most Valuable Player (for the player that most helps a team in the region-voting would probably be more subjective to account for intangibles) and a Player of the Year (for the best individual talent - voting would probably be more objective looking at overall stats)

Good win for the Lady Rams. Lewis County always plays teams hard at their place.

Congrats to the Lady Royals. Could be an interesting matchup against Ashland and RH on Thursday.

The Kittens were also without their starting point guard, Chelsea Dietrich, in tonight's contest.

Final

I agree that Queen is more than deserving of any local or state press that is given to her.

If a player from Rowan were to be POY IMO it would have to be Hughes. She is the heart, soul, and leader of that team!

Yes, coaches do get some perks such as free shoes and shirts, but this is NOT why most people take high school coaching jobs. I don't believe that most coaches are even doing it for the extra salary (although I'm sure there are some exceptions). Over the long run with summer camps, summer leagues, scouting during the season, etc... some coaches I know probably lose money if you look at the time invested, gas money, car wear and tear, etc... Yes, I know that many coaches get mileage paid for, but many of the coaches I know never turn the mileage in to their AD. These coaches know that this money comes out of their athletic fund. They would rather the money go to the program than reimbursement to pay for their gas.

Good win for the Lady Royals. Belfy is definitely not an easy win at their place.

My congratulations to Miss Queen also. I will not only miss her talent and competitiveness on the court next year, but also her sportsmanship. I know my little girl really looks up to Miss Queen. She is an excellent role model for the young kids in the area. She will be a fine addition to Middle Tennessee.

Truer words never spoken!!!!!!!

This could be a closer game than people might think. Sexton could be a matchup problem for the Lay Royals. Either Terry or Queen could effectively guard Sexton, but this means the risk of foul trouble for one of them. Keeton is also a good scouter and he will have some kind of junk defense to throw at Queen and Terry. That being said, with this game at Stewart gymnasium, I have to say Rose Hill by 8.

Rose Hill in complete control of this game and never any real doubt as to the outcome. This game really resembled more of a scoring fest where both sides were content to let the other team score. Congratulations to Emily Queen who became the 16th regions all-time scoring leader. I don't have the official stats but Queen seemed to have at least 30 points and 20 rebounds. Elliot did have quite a few uncontested 3 point baskets which kept this game from really getting out of hand.

I think that Elliot will have a very difficult time containing Queen and Terry. I say Rose Hill by 20.

The ADI shows that Euton is at the top of the regional field goal percentage list at 79% (158-200). Next player is Pettit of Rowan at 61.5%. I have a hard time believing that Euton is shooting this well. Can anyone verify if this stat is accurate or not.

i hate to hear this about Miss Webb. I hope that her injury is a minor one and that she is back on the court quickly to help the Lady Comets in the homestretch.

Why can't people have more than one allegiance? Some of us are just fans of good Kentucky basketball (both boys and girls). I think Rickyp puts high school sports into the correct perspective with his last sentiment!

I too believe that Biggs is doing an excellent job at Ashland, and yes it might have been time for a change. But, I'm with Francis. I will always remember Mike Flynn as a classy individual and an excellent basketball coach who truly cared for his players. Getting to the Big Show is not accomplished by accident and it wouldn't surprise me to see Flynn there again in the future.

As far as seeding goes, it may be beneficial to the Rh boys for the next few years. As for the girls, I don't see it the same way.

Someone told me that Webb went down with an ankle injury in this game and did not return. Any info on how she is doing? I believe that West plays Ashland tomorrow (Monday). Will she be ready to play? It would be a shame if Webb is hobbled the last games of her senior year. I believe that she has been the heart and soul of West this year. You will not find a more athletic and hardnosed player in the 16th region than Webb. She has truly become a leader for the Lady Comets during her career at West Carter.

Looks like Ashland's Laisha Ward is establishing herself to be a major player in the 16th region. She has really come on strong this year-I don't remember seeing her in many varsity games last season.

I understand that Scooterbob is upset with RH's seeding vote - I also agree with him that it doesn't benefit the small schools of the district in most years. My comments deal more with how Scooterbob always seems to get a negative shot in against the other area schools EVEN when he is displeased with the actions of his own school. To me this is not what high school athletics should be about.

Good win on the road for the Kittens. Although I know that Coach Keeton is not one for moral victories, I also feel he should be recognized for the nice job he's done with Greenup the last few years. Anyone playing Greenup this year better be ready for a dogfight. Keeton's girls are well coached, play with teamwork, and fight to the very end. Bailey, with whom do the Kittens end the last few games of their season AND......Do these girls EVER get a home game. They are definitely the road warriors this season (I think theve only had 3 or 4 road games). According to the ADI the Kittens are 15 and 9 - a pretty respectable record for such a young team with so many away games. Bradley must be proud of what his girls have accomplished this year after the last 2 difficult seasons.

Congrats to the Royals. Its always a good win when you get a victory over a non-16th region team. It looks like RH and LCA will have a very competitive, but friendly, rivalry over the next few years.
