Nice summation UKCC. Justice has spent a number of years developing that habit and will
be asked to drop it at Vandy. Now, would be a good time to start. Otherwise, he is playing
to his potential. Involving the team is the ticket for Knott to win the state. Knott rebounds
with everyone. They were strong rebounders against Trinity. Knott is pacing towards a
late season jell. It helps Knott to play in a number of tight games. Tournament games
are usually physical affairs that produce low scores. Everyone knew that Clay had a
physically strong and athletic team. To date, Knott was their best measuring stick.
Without Farmer, Clay was still tough at Boyle. UKCC called it, Boyle's big man (Elkins?)
and Hall for Knott reveal Clay's rebounding weakness. Clay has plenty of time to
address that with fundamentals and "want to." Sometimes leaving it on the floor
isn't quite enough but can blatantly point out what needs to be worked on. Now Clay
has to start leaving it on the practice floor working on rebounding. Meanwhile, Knott
keeps on chugging and seems to be working themselves. Justice is letting the game
come to him and Hall is hitting the glass on a regular basis. Cornett and Christian
continue their stellar defense and rebounding while not shying away as much from
the offensive chores. The sophomore, Combs, still develops. The team is wisely
living with his mistakes and giving him room to grow. He'll fall into the machinery
by year's end and could well become a potent surprise. Knott is yet to lose to an
in state team. Beating a fired up, super strong and athletic 13th front runner like
Clay County is another experience lesson in their quest to win state. The upcoming
PCC challenge offers another style to master, a physical team that uses pressure.
Tobler might play up to the Hall challenge, but he won't keep both Christian and
Cornett off the glass. Knott handled last year's Cordia pressure and this year, handled
the team speed of Covington Catholic. Beverly and Tobler are improved and present
potential athletic mismatches. PCC is playing at home. Stay at home folks, it adds up
to be another dull grind it out affair between two average mountain teams that won't
do anything at Rupp.
