They did get their heads out of the game quite a bit tonight. I think they also need to work on feeding the ball in the paint. Their big men are going to give up if they are working and working underneath and not getting even a touch. They definitely did not utilize McClanahan tonight.

Just an observation, but ER plays better when they can get out and run instead of force-feeding the basketball to McClanahan at this point in the year. McClanahan will improve. Last night, he stood still on the right block too much, giving Pikeville's defense an easy pick or deflection the entire game. Plus, the guards were putting the ball at his knees...If McClanahan would work up and down the lane, set a pick & roll, or just post up with more cushion between him and basketball where guards could lob it to him as he moves to hoop, he'll have more success.

Big win for Pikeville, 2-0 in the district. But at this point, with the superdistrict stuff going on this season, it looks as if all 3 59th teams will be in the regional and Phelps will come out of the 60th. But things can change!
