Final.

From what I heard on the radio Valley jumped out in front in the first quarter and never looked back....congrats SV

**More Cowbell** · 12-09-2008, 11:40 PM

You are correct. This game was over early, as Valley had either a 21 or 23 point lead at the end of the first quarter. Ashland played their best quarter in the second, and SV still just led by 23 at the half. The lead grew to 38 after the third, and I think the fourth was mostly subs for both teams.

Good opening game for Valley, they looked very athletic and played well as a team. They were a little careless with the ball at times and seemed to be trying to show off a bit in the second half, but all in all it was hard to find fault with them tonight.

Ouch.

Sounds like Valley played really well, which is completely expected. I did expect a little better of a game from Blazer. Does anyone know if they are down or anything, or was Valley really just that dominant.

I thought they looked really good in the first and third quarters. The lead was 37-16 after the 1st.

The Cats' Pause had them picked 3rd in a down 16th region.

That doesn't mean much. There is a huge drop off after Elliott County and East Carter.
Ashland is down this year. They have some decent size but they are not very athletic.

That's why I said a "down" 16th region.

I'm not sure their 3rd in the region either. Ashland doesn't have alot of depth and really no primary ball handler.

West Carter and Bath County are both probably better. Fairview may be as well.

So how did Elisha and Ashley look?

PC_You_Know Wrote:So how did Elisha and Ashley look?

Both played well. Elisha had 22 points, 5 assists, and 5 steals on 7-11 shooting (4-4 from 3 and 4-4 from the FT line). Ashley had 15 points and 5 assists (including a couple of back door alley oops to Elisha for layups) on 6-11 shooting (4-4 from 2, 2-7 from 3, and 1-1 from the FT line).

It was really good to see Taylor back out there again.

ooo, speaking of ol Bacon, did he look good, good defense like he used to play?

I thought Bacon looked good also. He had 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. It's great to see him back.

Sounds like Valley took the Tomcats out behind the woodshed and spanked them!

~~Notorious~~ · 12-10-2008, 02:40 AM

Good way to start the season off for my cats. Forgot they had a game today or I woulda went. Whens the next one?

I don't buy they are the 3rd best team either.More like 6 or 7th. Lewis had their chances at them just couldn't get it done.

Don't mean to take anything away from SV though that was an impresive win. Congrats.

**Playboy5** · 12-10-2008, 08:25 AM

WOW!! Nice win Valley!

I think it's Friday? Schedule says the 12th.

**Scotty doesn't know** · 12-10-2008, 04:26 PM

Does anyone know if Valley is going to get Dunbar rescheduled or anything?

EKY Sportster · 12-10-2008, 04:59 PM

Congrats Valley! Good win.

Ashland isn't what they have been in the past, and neither is Henry Clay for that matter, but it isn't like either are cupcakes though. And Valley easily has shown they are what we all expected this year.

I would love to see Valley and Elliott mix it up though! I doubt there are any other teams in Eastern Kentucky that could possibly beat either of them.

**More Cowbell** · 12-10-2008, 05:44 PM

PC_You_Know Wrote:ooo, speaking of ol Bacon, did he look good, good defense like he used to play?

Taylor looked very good, and seemed to show no ill effects of the knee injury. He even took a spill to the floor in the second half and got right back up.

Glad to see him back.

Who led Ashland in scoring and who looked good for them?

I have a feeling you will see it at some point in the all A....... I think the refs and whichever team is shooting the best that night will decide it! Note to SV though..........If you Zone press again like at Rupp, except Ethan Faulkner to once again make it useless.........

I would expect in that game Elisha to play man on Ethan, no zone necessary, Elisha takes the other teams best player out of them game.
