Just got in from the game. Paintsville led by 3 at the half and by 1 at the end of the third. Every time Holmes made a run, Paintsville countered until about the last 4 minutes of the game. Legs or no legs, Paintsville fought and scrapped in the game that no one really gave them a chance except the Blue faithful. Paintsville as a team played well, missed maybe 9-10 FT's. Also had 3 intentional fouls, two of them were when they tried to block a dunk attempt and were going after the ball. The only one that looked legit was when Murray pulled down Arrez as he was attempting a dunk. Also the technical was questionable because Murray just rolled his eyes, but at that moment in the game things were getting out of hand and was probably something to get both teams to cool down. Paintsville had a chance but their shots just weren't falling and they had pretty good open looks. Can't win them all but I'm proud of the boys representing the mountains well. Holmes is a very good team with a great defense and Paintsville proved they were the same. Congrats on a great season to the six seniors, congrats to BMR on a fine career, and congrats to Landon who was named to the All-Tourney team at the end of the game. Nothing to be ashamed of guys.

To rosebud, Blake had a couple of points and NO TURNOVERS against the best defensive team in the state.

:thumpsup: Well put!
