Martin county needs to clean house no reason they didn’t win a few more in a few sports.  Jc fan but paintsville had
more class. Landon Slone is awesome for taking up for his players.

Slone taking up for his players? Don’t care what happened during the game, tempers flare. Once the game is over you accept the fact that you either won or lost and move on. You don’t stop the opposing coach who said good game by squeezing his hand, would not let him move an continuously cursing and berating him. If that is more class then I guess I need to learn what class is.

There is one common denominator when something goes wrong on that gym and they all wear blue. Both sides last night was back and for but the PPD and the PHS Admin wanted to antagonize the Martin County fanbase all night. They need to get Landon and his mother who sits on the stage under control over there, She came down over top of the MC bench last night pointing and yelling.

[Ralph Furley]

It’s amazing the type of bad character people that we’ve let infiltrate our school system just to be relevant in athletics. Something has to change.

[WinkWinkler]

Paintsville sure has a lot of “mommy boys”.

[Gold River]

To live in a glass house a lot of stones being thrown. I vaguely remember the last time frank the tank won a district championship he tried to fight a few players in the hand shake line for not giving him a high five.

[2000PHS]

Some of y’all act like an actual fight happened. Good Lord. It is also comical and ignorant to think PPD and PHS administrators want anything but a peaceful night. Anyone that stated otherwise has obviously never been in those roles and just wants to type things for shock value.

[Gold River]

Got out of hand due to the poor officiating. One kid on Paintsville had two flagrant fouls that were not called. Paintsville had a fan thrown out but then came back in the gym. Paintsville will go down in history as the worst host ever. As far as the cheerleading, Martin County, rightly won that as well. They just didn’t want a clean sweep even thought that is what happened. As far as Paintsville, they should be ashamed and embarrassed by their actions.

The more I watch it I see a lot of people who should be ashamed starting with crum and then they daddy who was cowardly sitting behind a railing instigating things after the game with 20 people guarding him instead of being a man and handling his business.

[2000PHS]

Probably the most comical is Paintsville also stole the cheerleading competition and gave it to… wait for it… Johnson Central.. hahahaha thank you for the laughs today.

2 facts remain…One… a lady came down from the stage area behind MC bench and lit into the coaching staff, pretty sure it was coach slones mother??‍♂️.  Two….a former Paintsville player walker over into the MC section trying to start a fight. Neither one of these is debatable. One MC fan came on the floor after sturgell took not 1 but 2 hits to the head area. It was as good a hit as hockey players lay in a game.  It was intentional, flagrant and should’ve had at least one player ejected. Nothing was done. Shame on the officials for letting this go on.

We must watch different hockey.

Kid was fouled and lost balance at same time second defender arrived.

Made play look worse than reality, nothing intentional in terms of trying to cause harm. You could see the 2nd defender talking to other MC players and body language to me indicates it was an accident.

Glad kid was okay to continue play. Good luck MC in region.

100% an accident on the second defenders part. You can see it on the video, he stuck his right arm out to protect himself because the player from Martin County was shoved in to him. The Martin County faithful are all over social media trying to say that he lowered his shoulder and hit him like it was a football game.

[2000PHS]

As for the game, MC scored on at least 3 inbounds- under the goal situations. Good job of their staff to have those plays installed to get easy points on a night where 4-8 points was the difference.

They scored 3 baskets like that in a few minutes span against Pikeville in the All-A. They are very good at it. Opposing coaches will need to focus on defending that better in the 15th tourney.

This is 100% what happened. No malice behind what happened from the Paintsville kid. This coming from a Sheldon Clark graduate. No reason for the parents and their other kids trying to get on the floor to attack, I guess a 15yr old kid or maybe the officials?

[WinkWinkler]

Martin County is the better team. Only a close game due to officiating. Called a technical on MC coach and at one point, 7 fouls to 1 in favor of Paintsville. When you’re not as talented as the other team, then you play physical in order to make it a game (with a little help).

[Cactus Jack]

From the film, the second Paintsville kid that hit Martin County's player took a cheap shot; it was a punk move and one that should have gotten a technical. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I watched the last minute thirty of the game and see Paintsville fans walking through the stands and getting directly behind the Martin County bench to shout at their coaches, the aforementioned cheap shot that didn't even seem to get him a reprimand from is coaches, Paintsville fans trying to go into the Martin County section, and a scrum between the teams in the handshake line.

I'm not going to pretend to know the whole story about what was said, but I think it's a general rule that, absent something exceptional, assistants should leave standing and talking to the head coach. If an assistant coach cursed at and threatened a player (as had been posted here) right in front of one of the refs, I'd think that the refs would have given a technical.

Overall, this is not a good look for Paintsville-- honestly it gives the impression of a lack of control at best and classlessness at worst. I'm not calling all Paintsville fans classless, but the fact that these kind of things seem to disproportionally happen at their events tells me all I need to know about this being an institutional issue.

I agree with this post also. Martin County is the better team. The officials allowed Paintsville to get away with a few physical plays that they probably shouldn’t have.

But the play that the MC fans are saying the Paintsville kid lowered his shoulder and tried to run through the Martin County kid just didn’t happen that way. The Mac kid got fouled as the second defender was coming in. The MC kid got knocked off balance and made his head go down at the same time the Paintsville kid was coming while holding his arm out trying to protect himself. He wasn’t trying to be malicious at all. It was a accidental contact after the fact of a foul. 

Yes they were missed calls but the refs weren’t out there trying to make calls to benefit Paintsville and give them the game. They just weren’t. 

Also fans from both fan bases acted a fool and need to do better in the future. The foul language coming from assistant coaches and the fans trying to rush the floor should never happen. All involved in this behavior should be escorted out and given a lifetime ban. Just my opinion

People like you should be banned from posting. You are posting false information, I can’t say it any clearer than that. Even some of the level headed MC fans are saying this is false. 

You cannot watch the film and truthfully say that was an intentional attack. The contact caught the PHS player by surprise for God’s sake.

What did I say that was untrue?

Were there not Paintsville fans who came across aisles to stand behind the Martin County bench yelling at coaches?

Was there not a scrum in the handshake line?

Were there not Paintsville fans who other fans and police had to restrain from going into the Martin County section?

Are you trying to say that the late foul wasn't a cheap shot? If it were a football game, he'd have been flagged for targeting. If you don't think it was intentional or excessive then agree to disagree because I'm not having a pointless conversation with you on that one.

I don't know if we're watching the same thing if you are trying to dispute any of this.

I'm starting to wonder if you are the goof who assaulted a kid during a football game and tweeted that he was protecting cheerleaders or one of the fans in the Prestonsburg fight video. Paintsville fans have a trash reputation that they've earned. This isn't some kind of conspiracy where I'm trying to run down some random small town that I couldn't name one unique thing about, it's just stating observations.

Unbiased photo.  #20 passes the ball, defender from Paintsville takes a shot to the face of Stargell knocking his head and body back.  Second defender puts his forearms above shoulder level, not saying it was intentional but when contact was made the defender extended his arms all the way through impact which is clearly shown.

31 tried to slow himself down and stuck his right arm out to protect himself. If you watch the video close enough, you’d see it. No way he was gonna be able to slow down the momentum the boy from Martin County had after he was shoved in the back. You obviously do not know the kid cause he would never intentionally do that to anyone.

People like you should be banned from posting. You are posting false information, I can’t say it any clearer than that. Even some of the level headed MC fans are saying this is false. 

You cannot watch the film and truthfully say that was an intentional attack. The contact caught the PHS player by surprise for God’s sake.

Here ya go. Unbiased photo.  #20 passes the ball, defender from Paintsville takes a shot to the face of Stargell knocking his head and body back.  Second defender puts his forearms above shoulder level, not saying it was intentional but when contact was made the defender extended his arms all the way through impact which is clearly shown.

From the film, the second Paintsville kid that hit Martin County's player took a cheap shot; it was a punk move and one that should have gotten a technical. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I watched the last minute thirty of the game and see Paintsville fans walking through the stands and getting directly behind the Martin County bench to shout at their coaches, the aforementioned cheap shot that didn't even seem to get him a reprimand from is coaches, Paintsville fans trying to go into the Martin County section, and a scrum between the teams in the handshake line.

I'm not going to pretend to know the whole story about what was said, but I think it's a general rule that, absent something exceptional, assistants should leave standing and talking to the head coach. If an assistant coach cursed at and threatened a player (as had been posted here) right in front of one of the refs, I'd think that the refs would have given a technical.

Posted pictures. Proof is in the pudding. What makes it seem. Notice I said seem, more malicious is this is the immediate play after both benches were cursing towards each other. Tempers were flared and this was the very NEXT play. Had this happened early in the game and - couple of intentional fouls, a technical, and several cursing matches not taken place it would’ve gotten looked over. Before it even took place we knew someone was gonna take a hit just didn’t know it would be him.  Could’ve been an accident, but when both teams are fired up and a team is losing on their home court emotion is involved when going after an opponent.  It showed itself here!  Rest my case!

31 tried to protect himself by sticking out his right arm. If he was intentionally trying to knock him down, why would he put his arm out there to begin with? He wouldn’t. Looks bad, but he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Y’all trying to crucify a kid that plays clean all of the time and doesn’t run his mouth or talk shit to the opposing teams. Paintsville has had its share of hot heads over the years, (that would be the pot calling the kettle black coming from Martin County, they’ve had their fair share as well) but Kinner is definitely not one of them.

[Cactus Jack]

31 tried to slow himself down and stuck his right arm out to protect himself. If you watch the video close enough, you’d see it. No way he was gonna be able to slow down the momentum the boy from Martin County had after he was shoved in the back. You obviously do not know the kid cause he would never intentionally do that to anyone.

I didn't see it that way on the film. Referees don't have the benefit of instant replay and when I first saw the video, I was surprised that there wasn't at least an intentional foul called, especially given that it was to the head and neck area. It doesn't help that the foul came at a point in the game that it was at either.

I don't know a soul on either team or in either town for that matter. I'd be more inclined to see things from the "accidental" perspective if the kids from Paintsville had checked on him or helped him up instead of looking like they're glaring at him. 

I'm not saying all Paintsville fans can be painted with a broad brush, and I don't think that it helps that their gym is tiny and that there's a lot of seating right on top of the benches, but I will say that if I were a coach, I probably wouldn't schedule any trips to go play them at their place if it were at my discretion.

[2000PHS]

You are just making stuff up dude if you are saying 31 was glaring at anyone. He had the look of “why are y’all mad at me, we ran into each other”. But everyone loves to promote their own agenda.

Good luck MC.

No clue if you know my history on here but I’m not just a blind fan that defends PHS no matter the situation. However, there’s nothing to see in this situation. (I’m talking only about this play)

We can agree to disagree about 31’s involvement. I do believe that 5 should have been called for a flagrant foul. That was his 5th foul anyways, so maybe that’s why they didn’t call a flagrant, idk.

Agree that something more than a common foul should have been called. I haven't watched the whole game, but it's sounding like a situation where the officials might have lost some control. I definitely agree with the earlier posts about this not getting the attention it's gotten but for the other fan incidents and the point in the game at which it occurred. If I'm an administrator at Paintsville, I would be worried about the fan incidents becoming a real liability if something really goes wrong in the future because it seems like they're piling up.

The refs let the kids play, just like they have all year long. Martin County got away with plenty themselves, don’t let that fan base fool ya. Martin County did get more called against them, can’t deny that. But let’s not act like we haven’t seen this all year long and especially in this tournament. The refs let the kids play, they let coaches curse each other, let a coach curse an opposing player, the list goes on and on lol.
