Knott County Central 45 Estill County 44 (14th Region)
#1
Final from Knott. Napier wins it for Knott with 2 FT's.

Benton had a chance to put Estill up by 3 but missed the front end of 1 and 1.

Free throws Free Throws Free Throws. Gotta make them.

great career for Benton.
#4
Ouch. That ones gonna sting for estill
#5
Fun game, Bentons shoulder looked to bother him throughout the game. I still wanna know the definition of a block and a charge because it varies between games.
#6
I think it’s what team your on if you’re on the wrong team it’s a block

I noticed him grabbing at his back a lot..maybe he was trying to stretch his shoulder now that I think about it..was his shoulder, not the back. Makes sense. Hate that for the kid, missing front end of a one and one. Napier had missed two FT’s in a row earlier, but made them when it counted. Low scoring game first half. Defense was great from Estill, Knott had spurts. Congratulations Knott, survive to meet Wolfe. They will be out for blood. They were pretty mad after last meeting. 34 (KCC) free throws to 11 for Wolfe.

Hopefully with refs from a different region, Knott County won’t get an obscene amount of calls going there way.

Great career for Benton. Shots did not fall like they have all season for Estill. Gotta give credit to Knott for a great played game. Did not understand holding for 1 shot at the end with 30 seconds to play and down by 1.

The half court defense was great but the Engineers gave up too many points in transition. It was a tough loss for sure. Estill fans are waking up this morning to a sobering reality. Estill county in general represented the 56th district well. And what a crowd to be sooo far away. And our band and chearleaders were outstanding. It was awesome to hear that bell ring and the fight song when KCC called the timeout when it looked like Estill was about to seal it.
No complaints about refs here. There were a couple calls that were bang bang that of course I thought should have went our way but that is something that happens. The boys still had an opportunity despite the officiating and should not have been in that position to begin with if they don't give up a dozen points on run outs. Painful loss for a great group of young adults.
However,
Loved the way the Engineer faithful hung around until the players came out and cheered Benton for an outstanding career. He has represented us well .We all love us some Joe Benton. This one was special.

Didn't last night.

Calls or no calls Knott County is done. Wolfe has them beat at every position except for maybe the post.

Great game both ways last night.
Both teams had chances to win.
Estill coach adjusted to the rebounding issues at the half, and his team represented themselves well.
Knott PG played a lot better, moved the ball well played great D, getting everyone involved was vital.
The Benton kid was great, can score anywhere, and deserves any accolades he gets. They have a solid team all around, and can matchup with a lot of different kinds of teams.
Knott did well on the boards and that in my opinion was the difference. Shepherd stepped up and played tough in the second half. They will need more of that from him.
Balanced scoring helped Knott, but Estill was right there the whole way.
Games like this are what makes a tournament fun to watch.

Could have got a 2 for 1 there. Even if we missed the shot on the first attempt, could've fouled and if they hit both free throws, we're still just down 3 with plenty of time for a good shot. Hind sight is 20/20 though but I agree. 2 chances are better than 1.

Many factors contributing here. The defense we ran had limited people in position to rebound. Estill beat Owsley in the district championship and they ran a similar defense for this very reason. Turnovers hurt as well. Also a low point total in the 1st quarter and too many run outs. It cannot all be summed up with missed shots.
I agree, got to give credit to Knott for pulling out the W.
Congratulations to fatpat and the Patriots.

This was the best game of the night. Estill just could not find the basket in the first quarter and it hurt their momentum early. Also, their lack of rebounding was another issue. However, they adjusted in second half and the pressure affected Knott. I though Knott had a big game from Shepherd and Williams. Those two stepped up and won the game for the Patriots. Benton was not on his game, but he is a fun player to watch. Congrats to Estill on a great career.
#19
Great game and most knew it would be a low scoring affair as both coaches are class acts. Knott proved me wrong as I thought Estill with Benton's experience would be enough to seal the win. Estill struggled rebounding but their ball denial and pressure were very good. Damron actually ran the offense better but Williams is the key to Knott County. Anybody know how many rebounds he recorded last night? Entertaining game.
#20
Nice win for Kcc. Damron ran the game terrific, wasn’t worried about scoring. I thought Sheppard, amd Slone were huge combining for 20 points, to go with Williams 10, so those 3 had 30 of kcc 45 points. Was a team victory, and Napier came through when they needed him the most. Sunday should be interesting against wolves.
#21
Thought Estill did not use clock well in last 29 seconds and time out. Good 20 plus win year for Estill

Not every position. 1. Game is at Knott. That’s worth 10 points. 2. Coach. He may want to have Denny Fugate coach the team from the front row of the stands like he did several years ago. Strangest thing I ever saw. Made fools of himself and Denny.
