I don't think people realize just yet how big of a win this is for Holmes.
Memphis Central is a very good team. They were rated the sixth best team in Tn and had not only the third best sophomore in the country but also a three star Tulsa commit.
Holmes defense is going to carry them this year. To hold Central to 40 points is very impressive.

Huge win for Holmes, it wipes some doubts after the Beechwood and Bowman game away. As we have all said before you don't win championships in December, but this is a sign that the team is getting better. Just like last year, they lost a game early but as the season went on they reeled off a bunch of wins because they kept getting better

Holmes held Central 29 points below their season average of 69 ppg. I believe Central had also play 6 or 7 games before this one.
For the doubters, has Holmes still not lived up to the hype? Like I said before, it's still early and this Holmes team is no where near it's potential yet. When they start clicking on all cylinders they are going to be scary.
Offense sells tickets, defense wins championships. Some people are in awe about these teams scoring in the 90's, but honestly it's more impressive for a team like Holmes to average 65 ppg and win 36 games and a state title.
Holmes will continue to improve as the season progresses.

I think this game goes to show why Holmes is the #1 team in the state. Congrats Bulldogs!

Elijah Pittman, who was held out of the St. Henry game, was named the game MVP.

good win for the dogs....some iffy calls both ways and fouls were getting outta hand on both sides in the second half...the 2 halves i think affected both teams, but great defense from both teams imo. fun game to watch...the dogs are shooting a lot better in their past two games...
woulda been more fun if elijah was in the dunk contest

I sense the sarcasm in this post and I guess I'll be the one to take the bait.
Obviously you don't realize how good Memphis Central is. They would easily be a top 5 team in KY with the type of talent they have.
It's rare that a KY team plays an out of state team that features not only a kid like Jarnell Stokes who is rated the third best player IN THE COUNTRY, but also a 3* player like Tim Peete who is already signed, sealed, and delivered to Tulsa. Not to mention they have another top 150 player in the sophomore class in 6'4 Andre Applewhite.
I think you may want to eat your words when you said the other day that Holmes hasn't lived up to the hype.

For whatever reason, Pittman always seems to play better when the competition is stepped up.
If not for off the court issues in the classroom, he would be receiving MAJOR D1 interest... he is hands down the most talented and athletically gifted player in the state IMO.

Big win for Holmes over a very talented team. I said in another thread not many teams will score over 50 on Holmes. Henley is a master at teaching half-court man to man defense. That seems to be what this team is going to hang there hat on as a unit. Offensively the turnovers concern me some what. If Holmes limit the turnovers they will become very explosive on the offensive side of the ball. This is one of the better shooting Holmes teams I have seen in a while. I can't remember a time when Holmes had this many kids who can strecth a defense with the three point shot. All of Holmes top 7 seven can knock down the long ball. We will have an even better read on Holmes after the KOB. It's always good to see how you stack up against 7th region teams.

I hate to say this, but I think it's time for Rice to move in to the starting line up ahead of Avery. Rice is proving to be a much bigger scoring threat and continues to play well.
Avery just isn't playing well offensively right now. I think Holmes starting line up should be:
R. Johnson, J. Johnson, Slusher, Rice, Pittman

Congrats Holmes. Always looks good for the state when a KY team knocks off a strong team from another state.

Both played...neither scored.
It was a very physical game defensively by both teams.

I did not say Holmes has not lived up to the hype, I said or meant to say Holmes has not lived up to "YOUR" hype. I am a SV homer and you are a Holmes homer and I am very pleased to be talking about KY hilgh school ball, the players and teams we talk about on this site are precious to me and I think they are to you too, both teams have faced some very good out of state competition and represented us well. Good luck the rest of the season to Holmes and SV. Stay healthy.

I agree, I always support any KY school playing against a out of state team. This was a great win for Holmes!!
