For some reason I thought it was further than that, but thanks for the correction. I guess that's the ole fishing story, that bass gets a little bit larger as each year passes. Hard to believe that was 19 years ago.

I do remember the outlet pass from you to Todd Tackett to defeat Allen Co.-Scottsville the following year. Outstanding play and a great tournament on your part and the rest of the Tigers.

Now the last 13 seconds of that Allen County-Scottsville game had TWO great moments. Paintsville up 2 with 13 seconds left - Todd Tackett hits 1 of 2 FT to put us up 3. Warren Cunningham (who later went to UNC Greensboro) dribbled down the floor and hit a running, twisting 3-pointer to tie the game. He and his teammates started celebrating leaving Tackett open at half court. I was right under the goal and new from the angle the ball Cunningham shot was going in. I looked up and saw Tackett, got the ball coming out of the net, stepped out of bounds with one leg and three a great baseball pass out to Tackett who only needed to dribble once and scored with about 2 seconds left. That sent us to the Final Four in 1996 and on to the state title!!!
