Nets

Their QB needs to play ! He would perhaps be one of the best football/basketball combination athlete in Ky.

It has been talked about in circles for the last couple of years that FAYETTE COUNTY is not an attractive market for coaches due to the lack of non-support by the FCBOE and direction of athletics among the feeder programs, which have been nearly cut off and minimal in development. Fayette Co. schools should point the finger directly upon themselves when they begin to question the direction of their H.S. sports programs.

If Fleming leaves the 16th and goes back to the 10th and Lawrence Co. wants back in, it would be logical and possible that Morgan Co. would go back to the 61st district and Lawrence County to the 62nd. Keep the 63rd and 64th the same.

5 team-with Montgomery will not happen.

Holmes is best defensive basketball team that I've seen in person this year. In addition, Boone County may even be the 2nd best...at any rate, whoever plays Holmes will have to make contested shots. They contest everything in the paint and are very long and athletic at every single position.

No way does the 16th, 61st District add Montgomery Co. and create a 5 team district, especially when Rowan Co. Superintendent Marvin Moore is on the KHSAA Board of Control. That is one thing for certain that will not happen.

I attended Holmes championship game vs. Boone County. Both teams locked each other up very well. Holmes will be the best defensive team at the state tournament next week. They are very long and can really bottle up gifted offensive players. You can now but that D back in bullogs.

I really don't think this score surprised that many people. Coach Hampton has done another tremendous job and his young talent have progressed nicely. Lewis Co. is the better team and will advance to the title game in an old 62nd District showdown. Gutty performance as well, considering the injuries and illness that surrounded Lewis Co. in the last week or so, I don't think they were 100%. It was a good season in Owingsville with a district championship.

Closer game Russell or Ashland vs Elliott?

Coach Thacker did a great job with this Rowan Co. team, especially down the stretch.

Amber Riddle--Rowan County

Congrats to West Carter...they crushed the Cougars on the glass 35-19 and that negated the hot shooting by the Cougars in the 1st half. Congrats to Coach Webb and his Comets.

Every time Flannery comes in...he pops a 3 pointer as easy as he does a 25 foot side winding putt for birdie.

Of the people on that list...Mikey Hall at South Floyd was one entertaining shooter! He could play it.

What makes Jonathan more appealing to collegiate coaches is his ability to elevate and shoot, create, etc. There are a lot of good 'set shooters' around, but he makes 3's from 22-24 feet with people in his jersey...he has strength to elevate and get shot off vs. bigger defenders. And I have never seen a player in the 16th region make more off balanced shots in the lane in my life!:thumb:

Morgan will have some nice pitching with Lopez, Adkins, Nickell, and Harvey Harvey will likely move to behind the plate when not on the mound. The key will be hitting at the middle/bottom of the order. Should be strong defensively in the IF, outfield is a ? but do return Cameron Dunn and Cory Murphy. Should be a top 5 team with plenty of depth and athleticism. East Carter and Morgan Co. should be strong contenders from the 62nd.

Gary Kidwell is top of the line and asset to Lewis Co. H.S. and North East Kentucky sports. He does what is right and has anchored a tradition unlike any other in Kentucky High School sports, which is to maintain one of the, if not THE... oldest running conference. One thing is for certain, Gary Kidwell is top notch.

Elliott Co. = EKC Champion

I say...just flip a coin for the winner!

Fairly solid all around game for Morgan Co. last night. Playing at Magoffin Co. is a tough place to go play and to win makes it more special. Physical and strong team the Hornets are. Morgan's ability to handle the basketball and their full court pressure bothered the Hornets a great deal. Morgan Co. is a very unselfish team and one of the reasons they are 16-8 and one of the most surprising teams in the area.

Montgomery is solid! One of the best I have seen this year. I thought Morgan played fairly well in the first half, just to be down by 15 was a minor accomplishment. 2nd half was somewhat of a different story. Montgomery just keeps coming at you, 10 deep easily. Big, stong, and very mature team. They can shoot it from deep and pound it down low. Would not be shocked to see them playing in the finals.

Very impressive win by Bath County. Metz is the strongest and toughest player in the 16th region IMO. He has been fun to watch on the court and on the football field.

Solid performance for a tired and emotionally drained Cougar bunch. The Cougars just finished their 6th game in 9 days, all at home and move to 15-8 on the season. The Cougars started the season at 3-5. Morgan place 4 in double figures in another balanced attack. Jerred Smith had 11 point and Colby Jones 10 points with Cameron Dunn scoring 11 and Mike Fyffe 10. Tyler Adkins had 9 points and Tanner Roy 4. First chance for me to watch Collins #11 for Fairview...he is an outstanding player who is quick and can create off the dribble very well.

:thumb:Congrats to Elliott and way to carry that 16th region banner with pride tonight.
