Let me go on to say this. Magoffin played very poorly in the loss to Powell to start the season. Lost big. Definitely wasn't the officiating that caused that one. 14th regional officials and they did a very fair job. Lost to JCHS, looked scared to death. No excuses. Bounced back and beat Lawrence County AT Lawrence. Lost to a great Knot Central team. Then beat a very good Pikeville team at Pikeville.


This was the 6th game of the season. It was the first game were I heard any complaining about the officiating.

There was an old man that I spoke to at the game. We discussed the last time Magoffin played in Owsley. A team I played on had beaten the Owsley team featuring Moose Moore in 1990. I bet it's longer than that before the Hornets return.

On the plus side. They did give the kids pizzas. That was a nice gesture. The principal seemed a nice guy and the fans were cordial.

Also, perhaps I was too hard in my original assessment of the Owsley team. They had some very nice players. Shoot the ball well. It's certainly not a disgrace to lose to them, especially in their place. They'll do we'll this year.

I will look forward to their trip to Magoffin.
