Where was this thread in December? In January? Ask programs and people from outside yoru area what they think about the Scott H.S. basketball program and they will tell you classy gentlemen that are really well coached and disciplined. Brad Carr has put Scott High School on the map, no longer do people think it's Scott County.

Sounds like the 2nd mistake in Kentucky HS basketball in as many days. The 15th region girl's game has similar issue on a last second shot and alleged phantom foul that won the game for Shelby Valley over Betsy Layne.

Time for a change? Absurd. Coach Kidwell is one of the most respected coaches in the area and does an excellent job. Russell will improve even more next year when their young players mature. Their best talent is within their younger kids. They will be much improved next season with another year of experience.

The public school athletics in Fayette County has been declining partly due to the lack of support those schools are getting from BOE and administration.

This game will be played tonight in West Liberty as scheduled.

Faith Slone hits a last second shot to pull out the win for the Lady Cougars

Morgan Co. scrimmages Russell at Rowan Co. on Friday afternoon.

Morgan Co. snapped state's 2nd longest losing streak at 22 this year. Won 2 games, their first senior night win in 13 years, went from averaging 6-7 points per game to 19.7 and from giving up right at 50ppg to 34.7 and doing so with several Freshman starters. Was a big improvement compared to the last two years.

This game is at Morgan Co. Every home game for the Cougars have been rather exciting. Pound, Va. was OT thriller, Cougars break losing streak and beat Powell Co, Cougars had Magoffin Co. sweating with ball at 20 yard line before losing 24-20, Leslie edges Cougs in Sorghum Bowl 18-16, and Bath Co. scores on 4th down to ice the game last week. Cougars have another streak to break and that is consecutive senior night losses.

Great win for West Jessamine. To see them at 6-0 from where they were before coach Randy Wood took over is amazing. Coach Wood flies under the radar, definitely not a self-promoter, but he is definitely worthy of Coach of the year honors and be in the same talk as those coaches for any prestigous post-season award.

They should match up with Bath Co. very well this season I think. Shelby Valley has a great deal of talent and speed. They probably match up better with Bath than Shelby Valley, this year. In the upcoming years, they should match up with everyone in their district...but still have to gain valuable experience and get older, which they are doing now.

Morgan County snaps the states 2nd longest losing streak at 21 games! The official score was 42-26. Morgan County also had 460+ yards rushing last night. The Cougars dominated Powell Co. much like the Pirates dominated the Cougars the previous two seasons. The Cougars continue to get outstanding play from Seniors Kyle Havens, Mitchell Harvey, and Adam Cooper but are just as balanced with 4 outstanding freshman in QB Larrin Collins, Walker Crase, Joe Holbrook (1 interception), and Tyler Conley at TE. The very young Cougars have made tremendous improvement in a short while and it was an exciting night and great to see them finally shed the losing streak.

Coach Randy Wood is one of the best coaches anywhere and what he has done at West Jessamine is nothing short of outstanding. He took over a horrible program and made them winners in a very short while. Hope the Colts can make it to 3-0.

Pound spoils the Cougars bid at ending a 20 game losing by drilling a FG in OT to beat Morgan 31-28. Pound would lead 14-0 before Morgan's Mitchell Harvey scampered 75 yards on the kickoff return to make it 14-6. Pound returned the favor by returning Morgan's kick about 80 yards to make it 20-6. Kyle Havens, Adam Cooper, and Mitchell Harvey would get Morgan back in it and got a late 2nd Q. TD from Kyle Havens, to make it 20-14. Pound would score to make it 28-14 in the 3rd, but Morgan battled back and marched it down field and scored to make it 28-22. Late in the 4th, Morgan stopped Pound on 4th and short from the Cougar 30 yard line, however, Morgan would turn it over on downs with about 2:00 minutes left and Pound had it deep in Cougar territory. Pound would manage to get the 1st down they needed and actually march the football in side the Cougar 10 yard line with under a minute to go. However, Pound went for the nail in the coffin score with under :30 seconds to go in the game, Morgan's Jamie Ferguson would rip the football out of the QB's arms at about the 4-5 yard line, as fans were leaving, they began screaming....and I think about 700 people outran Ferguson to the other end of the field...rumbling, stumbling, and huffing with about a 25 yard gap from anybody behind him....he was eyeing paydirt.....and a miracle score, however Pound players caught him at the 15 yard line with under :25 seconds to go......Morgan would get three plays off and score in miraculous fashion with 14.1 seconds to go to tie the game at 28-28...Morgan elected to kick the XP...and what many thought was "good"...was called no good by the officials and they headed to overtime. Morgan was stopped a yard shy of endzone on their possession, and on 4th and goal Pound drilled the 18 yard FG to win 31-28. An exciting game and at least Morgan Co. had a chance to win and kept battling. Morgan Co. is much improved but are very, very young. Freshman QB Larrin Collins has managed the offense excellent. while Junior QB Jared Curd remains out with a broken thumb.

Rowan County should be a formidable offensive test for Garrard County. Darryl Cross is the real deal. 4.45 (40 dash) speed and what is more impressive is his ability to make defenders miss. One on one in the open field, Garrard Co. will have some trouble. Rowan is really not a one trick pony either...QB Adam Weng can throw it and he has some quality targets at the WR position.
