QUOTE=keepinitreal;1138449]Powells outside shooting was not on tonight. Reed got 2 but no one else. Maybe they should have mixed it up and drove the ball with more of a fast paced game. Powell seemed to score when they did that. Creech led both teams in scoring with 20 and he had no 3's but scored when he drove the ball. How do I put this, Powell needs to REBOUND REBOUND REBOUND. Powell gives the other team to many second and third chance points. Powell has one of the best penetrating point guards in the region and doesn't use him to their advantage. Powell needs to spread the floor at times and let him go to work. Especially when their 3's aren't falling.

Estill played a slow paced game and ran time off the clock. This is basically their strategy. This explains the low score. They did tonight what Powell didn't REBOUND REBOUND REBOUND. I guess having a 6' 9" center helps a little. Even when down the stretch they didn't make their free throws Powell failed to take advantage because Powell did not REBOUND REBOUND REBOUND.

So to sum up the game is came down to REBOUNDS REBOUNDS REBOUNDS.

The refs were no help either for Powell anyway.

I have been to many game to watch this pirate team and there isn't one player on the team that is top ten in the region. They all play to selfish and it starts with the point guard. They need to play as a team, not go one on one all the time. I seems that creech must be the only player on the team after reading all your post. I just think that point guards are suppose to look to their teammates to score first, not themselves. And other players shouldn't stand outside waiting to shoot three's all night. They play bad because they are individuals and until they become a team, they don't have a chance to win.[/QUOTE]

Well first of all you must not have been paying close attention at all those games you have watched. They are 6-6 and obviously have won. If you want to pick on the team for having individuals look for others than Creech and Reed. By the way Dennis came in and scored 6 points in no time and had several rebounds but only played a few minutes and sat till the last minute or so of the game. Just an observation.

Last night you have to give Estill credit for a very good defense againts our outside shooters. I was making an observation in my earlier post. You don't need to be a hater. As far as my post I didn't realize you were so intered in what I post. Thanks for reading them all. I really don't care what you think of my post. You must be jealous.

Creech and Reed are the most unselfish players on the team. I agree that there are selfish players. This team does know how to play together and has several times this year but the obstacle last night was what to do when you can't shoot the three because of good perimeter defense. So someone had to score Creech drove the ball and did. Creech is leading the team in assists and Reed is second by the way they are also the two leading scorers. This makes sense since they are the 2 seniors starting on the team. You know they can pass the ball but they can't make the shots for anyone else. There were also several passes made last night that resulted in missed shots or missed layups. I am not saying that Creech and Reed are perfect by any means they have their off nights but they do lead the team and play to win as a team. If you read my entire post you would have seen that REBOUNDS REBOUNDS REBOUNDS ARE WHAT HAVE been the problem all year. To many second and third chances for the other team. Also free throws need to be made we missed seven in a row at one point last night.

By the way Creech is ranked 8th in the region in the Uk yearbook and in the Lexington Herald and no matter what you or anyone else says it is there so let it go. Check the stats. Dont' be a hater.

There were also only two players who made it to the all region tournament team last year Devon Evans and Carlisle Creech so they must have done something right. Like stepped up when they needed to.
