I'm going against the grain here and saying that Grant's trip to Florida helps them get W.V. Grant 68 W.V. 60

Leslie isn't in the top 10 in the 14th. They only have one starter back from a 7-20 team.

Yes, the Colonels are playing a light schedule this year. I think it will bite them come tournament time. But they do need to build confidence. The only way you can build a winning program is to win games.

Apex,

Imagine how good the Storms kid would be if he had choosen to play for Coach Deaton last year.

Huston.... we have a problem!!!!

Nice Win for my boy Coach Elam.

WOW this is a shocking score.

What is going on at the burg? To much preseason hype for this team? People talking about 10+ wins, 3rd in the district?

This team only beat 2 Kentucky schools last year. This is a tough situation for Coach Robinson. I hope he can right the ship.

Any of the 4 teams could win this district. If Whitley wins a lot will be forgiven. The loss of Whitley's best athlete in mid season was a big hurter.

I hear he will be back for the district. Any truth to this?

It's as easy as this: Big school vs. small school

Grant 32

Ludlow 22

One I've always liked is:

"If you hang with the owls at night, you cant soar with the eagles at dawn!"

True, he did run off a very talented player who would not follow team rules and placed himself above the team. The team was actually better without him. Plus, that kid now stops in and hangs with Guff from time to time. The kid knows he was wrong. He CHOSE to drive a bus. His willingness to get up at 5:30 or so demonstrates his work ethic. Has the administration there been impressed with ANY coach the past few years? Unless your related to the Sup. G.C. got a good one!!!!!! Great hire, great person!!!!!

I've known Coach Guff from his days playing at Union. He is a great guy and is very knowledgeable of the game. Grant County is very fortunate to get a guy of his integrity and work ethic. I am confident he will do a fantastic job. Congrats Guff!!

Ive just gotten to know coach R. for a short time as an Asst. at G.C. Seems to be a great guy, is this his first head coaching job?

That means you heard from the new coach himself or the AD?

Robinson brings a lot of energy to the program...as described, he is a lot of fun to watch coach. Very animated! A lot of coaching experience.

Is this Coach R's first head coaching gig?

VERY!!

I just heard that Coach Robinson has gotten this job. Congratulations Coach!!

Anyone know who interviewed for this position?

Any work on this job lately? I heard that Morris turned down the job and Bell offered Deaton the job. Anyone know if this is true?

From what I hear, Bell is pursuing Deaton pretty heavily.

Mr. Fundamental... You dont leave much to the imagination. Let's see. The 13th region finals are tonight, which has 2 50th district teams in it. So, those two coaches are safe. You have stated in another thread how well Robinson from Williamsburg is liked and done. So, who does that leave? Hmmm.. Only one other coach in the 50th. But where is he going? And who has that kind of $$$?

Thanks Strike3... Best of luck to the KC Panthers and to especially Coach Elam. Never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes!

This thread makes me sick. This is nothing but rumors and speculation probably started from a disgruntled mommy or daddy who's son couldn't play dead in a bad western. Was is not just a few years ago that Elam's teams won back to back district championships, and was a runner-up in the region?

Coach Elam does nothing but give his heart and soul to the KC program. Oh yeah, HIS TEAM IS STILL PLAYING IN THE REGION TOURNAMENT!!!!

I agree Les... I think the big MO. from the North game really helpped carry K.C.

Your right, I did forget about Messer's 3's. They gave Central a good kick start!

Aside from the last 3 minutes of the first half, I thought Central played great. They were patient and took what the Tigers gave them. They made the extra pass, and seemed to really play as a team. My hats of to Elam!

When is this game?

Great game by the Panthers! Williamson was just as big as Miller. Williamson goes for 16 and 16. Great job by Elam and KC. Tremendous atmosphere.

Breeze,

I was getting ready to start a thread on this game. I can't believe there is not much chat about this huge game. I would say this has to be one of the biggest rival first round games in the state.

Now to the game. Im afraid that B'ville may have my Panthers #. Or should I say that Dinky has Elams #? With this game being played at Knox C. I think it will be a barnburner!! Look for Central just out to an early lead and the Tigers to hold on and Bite the Panthers in the end!!

Great scoop there Schue... KC definately stole one in NL's backyard. Great win for the Panthers, should definately give them some big MO. going into the district. Feel bad for Conway. Felt like NL's youth got them tonight. Just didn't make plays or FT's down the stretch.
