Ballard should be a good one. Excited to see this game, I was hoping Holmes would face Clark Co in this tourny but unfortunately Holmes didn't hold up there end of the bargin. Ballard is another top ranked team in KY this season though so it is put up or shut up time for the Dawgs. Its hard to say that in December but that is the way it is looking with all the talk on here.

Good to see Holmes bounce back.

Anyone have any numbers from this one

Good win for Holmes. Congratulations.
Monday's game with Ballard will be interesting. Ballards fast paced run-n-gun style against Holmes' slow down half court sets. Should be a real battle.

Elijah Pittman continues to dominate games...18 yesterday against McEachern and 17 tonight against Chaparral.
Good to see JJ also having a solid game with 13 points.

Do you have the match ups for Holmes-Ballard.

Holmes offense needs to go through Eli... Every possession that they take a jumpshot and he doesn't get a touch is a bad possession. He does work down low and he needs his touches. The more he touches the ball the better it will make everyone else because teams will have to double, and pinch in on there zone defenses which will open up slashers and open shots on the perimeter. Eli is proven to be a much better passer this season and he has improved his post moves, now just let him use it night in and night out.

Still not able to score more than 61 points against a team missing Zeke (their best player). Their coach needs to let go of the reins on their D1 athletes.

Holmes only averaged 60 ppg last year and finished 36-2 with a state championship. I'd say Coach Henley knows a thing or two about what he's doing.
Offense sells tickets, defense wins championships...next.

You are really concerned with how many points this team scores... This is a game where they didn't need 61 again, 44 would have been enough...

Holmes with seven 3 pointers last night.
Looks like JJ had a big game from outside.
