This was a very exciting game to watch. I was really impressed with the job Grimm did down low on Hopson, he was a lot taller than Grimm but Shane held his own on both ends of the floor. Landon played a heck of a game with 21 points. Heights also played a great game on both sides and the Hopson put back dunk was one of the most impressive I have ever seen! But congrats to UHA on the win and to Paintsville on making a great run like they did and making the 15th proud.

I agree. Grimmy is by far the toughest kid in the region. He don't back down from nobody and always holds his own. I thought Paintsville could have put the game away in the 4th when Hopson went to the bench with 4 fouls. Shane had a huge mismatch and they didn't get him the ball.

Since I got injured in the mines a few weeks ago, I have had the luxury of going and watching a few Paintsville games with a buddy of mine that went to Paintsville. I don't get on here very often cause I don't have time, I'm usually working or sleeping. I do however remember seeing the preseason top ten players for the region and honestly I don't see how the VanHoose boy was in there. He is very lazy, he doesn't go after rebounds on either side of the floor, he doesn't go up strong enough underneath, he hits the ground more than anybody I have seen when he tries to go up. Seems like all he wants to do is shoot three pointers for some reason, and he can't even do that. I have watched the last 5 ballgames and I bet he is probably 6-40 from three point range. How is this helping Paintsville? As an outsider looking in, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to start #5 over him the next two or three games to see how VanHoose plays coming off of the bench. #5 can shoot alot better, he may not rebound very well but neither does VanHoose, atleast that kids tries to. It's just a thought.

Little harsh on the VanHoose boy miner. He has been in a slump for a little while from downtown. Some kids get into one and then later on find themselves coming out of it. I agree he shouldn't have taken so many when he realized he wasn't hitting because he done a fine job down on the block. I hope your injury heals soon.

I think JD just hasn't come into his groove yet. He played football this year and didn't get to shoot a ball for 4-5 months. I think he will be alright come tourney time. As for Jeremy startin, I think he does a very good job comin off the bench.

Yeah you could tell that UHA depends mostly on Hopson. Paintsville went on a good little spurt when he was out with the foul trouble. I agree also that Shane had a mismatch down low and they didn't feed it to him. I've seen Shane play a lot and he is by far the toughest player in the region, I would hate to try to guard him down low that is for sure.

All I know is is this loss kinda put a damper on my night. The day started out great at around 2 in the mornin saturday when I won a nude pic of the pornstar that was at Solid Platinum, lol. I looked at my buddy when we left and told him Paintsville was gonna win, I just felt it, I was probably more pumped up then the boys were, lol. I didn't even go to sleep til bout 6 in the mornin, stayed up and drank beer by myself and watched TV. Woke up around 9, got a shower, we went to Nicholasville to the Boot Store to find me a new pair of cowboy boots. Drove on to Richmond and at that Mexican Rest. Had a few beers and went on to the gym. After that final buzzer went off I was torn all to ****, didn't even wanna watch the UFC fight. But by the time we got back to Lex and I drank a few cold ones I was ready, lol. This games was still all I talked about all night, I just can't get over it. We should have won this tourney.

haha, man that sounds like a heck of a night! I'm with you I had a great feeling that they would win but they couldn't pull it out in the end. Wish my weekend could have been as awesome as yours, lol. Ohh yeah heard Lesnar got his *** handed to him.

No, Lesner beat the **** outta Frank Mir. Lesner took him to the ground at the snap of a finger as soon as the bell rang. He beat him to death and Mir rolled over causin Lesner to hit him in the back of the head forcin another stand up. Lesner knocked him down with a right hook and when he went to get on him Mir got hold of his ankle and Lesner tapped. Give Lesner 2-3 fights to get some experience and he will start rockin everybody's world. I wasn't a believer til the other night, NOBODY even comes close to his strength it's not even funny. His got some skills, just needs more experience.

Vanhoose was 4-25 in the 3 games they played in Richmond Class A State. He totally busted the Tigers bubble. I heard several parents are ****ed that BMR let him loose like that. That team had worked way too hard for that trophy, oh well.

:eek: WOW... I know he was 1-9 in the Bardstown game but didn't think he shot 25 three's in 3 games. That is kinda suprisin coach Runyon let him keep shootin em. Like I said earlier though, I think his shot will come around by tourney time, atleast I hope it does, lol.

That stat was gave by the radio announcers after the loss. BMR has let HIM get by with alot that he never would any of his past players, or present players for that matter.

Watching from the top of the rafters, it sure seemed as if the shot more than 25 and made less than 4. I guess that Bardstown game left such a bad taste in my mouth.

I was updating her on BGR for this game and remember at one point saying, JD u r killing me after he has missed yet another trey, then the next time down John Doug said "and the pass to VanHoose on the block and he turns and puts it in"!! I thought....That's where you need to be son!
I love JD, but sure wish he would play down low primarily and pop out for a few three ball looks.
But according to team stats JD is averaging 7.5 boards a game.

Their stats say what they want them to say for whom they want them said. Padding stats isnt uncommon. Just like they always list them an inch or two taller than they actually are.

:thumpsup: Couldn't agree with you more!! Would have been better than throwing the ball away and popping 3's.

[blackcat_mvp6]

Congrats UHA and Congrats to Paintsville.

[EKY Sportster]

Well the Tigers could have won and should have won the tourney, but they didn't.... JD and Landon just couldn't hit any 3's in the UHA game. But this game was last week and we just need to put it behind us and move on. We have a regional tourney coming up in March to worry about! Hopefully BMR and his staff will get it together and do what they should do, go inside when possible and not rely on the 3 as much unless they are just wide open. Good luck Tigers!!!

I agree, but I don't think they should shoot the threes unless they're hitting. Regardless if they're wide open. They didn't take all that many contested three pointers in Richmond, just couldn't hit any of em.

Which one is listed an inch or 2 taller?
I'd say they are all listed within a half inch at most.
