Great effort by both teams. Pulaski showed no let up the entire game. They do not look the part but they are a team of hustling and teamwork. Not sure who he is but number 25 has an awkward but accurate shot. He was dialed in when he shot from three. He almost sank a full court shot that wasn't close to counting but was still lots of fun to see. Clark is very athletic and should have a very good season well into March.

Look at the last 40 years of football in Kentucky. Anything stick out as........odd for lack of a better term. You do not have to be beaten by a private school to realize if you make it to the last game chances are your going to play one. The number of championships are staggering and not unnoticed. Come on its like a white elephant in the room everybody looks at and says, " What elephant" ! Rant over!

To play at a public school you have to meet a geographical requirement to be eligible, live within the district you play. To my knowledge not so for private schools. Not trying to start a public private debate, just repeating reasons given in and around Clark county for the demise of football participation. May not be the same in your county. There are several things across the state that could be seen as an advantage for some.

The frustration that is 6A football in Kentucky, losing every year to a private school that plays by a different set of rules than public schools do. Not trying to start a fight but the kids see no hope of ever winning in this environment. Clark County recently went back to one middle school and this has caused many kids not to have an opportunity to play after civitan football. Add to this the research and findings regarding concussions and the long term effect, football I am afraid is becoming a sport many parents and kids opt out of. I wish Clark County could turn this around and become the formidable foe of yester year. In todays climate, with all the things I've mentioned and more, it looks like mediocrity is the pattern of the future for football in Clark County. It will take a great motivator and coach to field a winning team anytime soon. I hope this coach can see the path to success or maybe his predecessor will.

I do not think the tournament format is the problem. I believe the playing field needs to be leveled so that all-star teams cannot be formed and you must play with what you got! The disparity comes when counties and school systems allow anyone to play anywhere they want. I know the KHSAA has rules but they need to be tightened if you want more competition in basketball as well as football. Fairness should be the quest!

This GRC team has nothing to hang their heads over! This team lost 95% of their scoring from a year ago. They were not picked pre-season to win their district or region! They became one of mine and many other GRC fans favorite teams to have represented our school and county. You guys played hard every game and I will always respect your never quit style! Good luck to those moving on and always play hard!:notworthy::ylsuper:

You can bet Coach H will have a plan and his team of blue-collar ballplayers will play with all they have! GRC has the guards and the heart to win 31 games this year and tonight they will make it 32 on a Bopper three at the buzzer! GRC 58 -T 55!:ylsuper::popcorn::taz:

I personally don't know why they are even bothering with the games! Just present the trophy to Trinity and we can all do something else this week-end!:idunno:

Go ahead and pack up your trophy. You can sit it right beside Eastern's from last year! They were a "Lock" also, as I remember!:popcorn:

Taylor Howard is a very under rated part of this GRC team. He was playing at the YMCA this time last year and now will be starting as a senior on the tenth region champs. He brings a lot of pure hustle to the team and the part that is hard to believe when you see him play is how he hasn't been playing high school ball before now! Good kid too!:thumb:

On a side note to a great game, I was disappointed when the police riot line corraled the student section of GRC. It was sad to see these kids who have followed this team all year get locked down when it was time to celebrate. Just wonder if the host team had won if this was in the plans as well! Not sure why this was done.

Nothing like a good old fashioned beat down to win second regional victory in as many years. This team is talented and tough, a good combination to win games! They are hard to rattle and even harder to score on, Mason found this out every possession down the floor. The sixteenth region can keep their refs, not very impressive the entire tournament. Followed this GRC team all year and enjoyed every game. Let's go to Rupp and send some people home Cards!:taz::banana::ylsuper::jump::dancingpa:notworthy::popcorn::ylsuper::dancingpa

Two Class acts! Both did the job to perfection this year! Easy choice.

Now are there any doubts as to why tenth region basketball is the best! The fans warm up and go at it days before the first ball is thrown up! I LOVE IT! GO CARDS! :banana::taz: :clap::ylsuper:

I am afraid the highlight of the night was the National Anthem. Lauren Mink, who has made the first step in American Idol, brought tears to my eyes and a chill down my spine at the same time! She has a powerful and beautiful voice. The game was pretty good too!

I think you really have to look at his contribution to his team, the points he puts up, the competition he has faced, and his teams success as indicators of his skill. He is in my opinion at least a candidate. Past winners of Mr. Basketball have not exactly set the world on fire after high school. They were good high school players though. You should judge on body of work in high school.

Without Bopper this team has no where near the record they have. He would improve any team you put him on. What is your criterea for Mr. Basketball, or even what is considered by the selection comittee when choosing?

Bopper Stenzel from GRC is as good a point guard as you will find in the state! Kid is as tough as nails and runs his team like a point guard should!:ylsuper:

You are right. All I know is what I see on the court, and obviously the ref saw it too.

Sportsmanship is not criminal. But it should be demanded from young men and women who play sports. It carries on into life sometimes and that is where all of these young men end up one day.:taz:

The technical on Wing was well deserved. After being called for the foul he threw the ball backwards hitting Vancleve for GRC. The game in Ashland Wing had words with Vancleve when Vancleve fouled him. The refs missed the unsportsman like action in Ashland but caught him this game. :sssh:

I think anyone who saw this game would have to agree the officiating left much to be desired! The over and back call on GRC at the volleyball line was an indicator of how the night was going to go.

I have seen some questionable calls in games before, this was ridiculous! If GRC had taken care of the ball at the end the refs would have been negated and unable to swing this Rowans way. GRC is still improving, just not their best performance of the year. Gotta be proud of the effort these kids showed tonight.:madman:

This GRC team is a lot better than the team barely beaten earlier in the year. Much more experience and Bopper is finding his shot as the season goes forward. I would not be suprised by a 10 point Clark County win over Montgomery. GRC 64 Mont. 54!:popcorn:

What time and where will GRC play for the championship?
