Final Highlands runs their season record to 11-3

MC over Highlands 54-51 Great game Highlands led most of the game. Big turning point late in the game. Watson fouled a three point shooter. MC went to the FT line and made 2 out of 3. Highlands did not box out on the third FT. MC rebounded the missed FT #35 scored and was fouled. It was about a 4-5 point swing. The Birds lack firepower with Watson and Kowolonek carrying most of the load. Grote, Gordon and Dill need to step up. Grote did not start and probably played about half the game. Grubbs helped while he was in there but got in a little foul trouble in the 1st half. Highlands plays the loser of Prestonburg vs Scott Co. at 2:00 Sunday

Yes, Nick is out with a broken leg from football broke it Oct 10th. He goes back to the doctor in two weeks and they're expecting him to resume basketball activity shortly thereafter. Fugate will also be a boost with his physical play. They'll struggle without a point guard the most difficult position to play but don't fall asleep on them during the districts or you might not make it to the next round. A combination of things have them down right now injuries, the football players going to the 3 championship, new coach (not that Doug is a stranger to them) etc.

It depends on what position you're trying to lockdown. Highlands George Grote is the best in Northern Ky he did a number on Russ Middleton earlier this year plus he's versitale. He can guard PG, SG, and SF. He has the strength and quickness to guard bigger players and as someone posted earlier he will run through a wall to get a loose ball.

Breathitt has got a very good junior class and might be a year away playing in a very competitive region. Taulbee's a great athlete and look out if he figures it out. Dakota can can be tough inside and Nick Noble is a solid point guard just needs to develop his outside shot. They're my dark horse in that region and look-out for them next year!!! Good Luck Bobcats!

Does anybody know of any 3 on 3 tournaments in this area?
