HA! I really just spit my drink all over the computer screen!! Wow. You can't be serious. . .at least tell me you were kidding just a little. A small college team??? You really need to take off your blue colored goggles and get outside the 14th region and watch some basketball. Not taking anything away from the Lady Cougars. They are a good girls basketball team for around here. But compared to the Marion Co.'s, LCAs, the Manual's and Mercy's its not even close. Im sorry. They are on a whole different level of basketball size wise, speed wise, and athletic wise. Letcher will be lucky to win the region. . let alone a state title lol. And in response to the Knott and Clay game . . .Knott was only down three at the half and thats after the referee went crazy and started calling phantom fouls and technicals. . but thats given when you play at Clay Co. Yes, Clay beat Knott but the game was wayyyyy closer than the 18 pt victory. Knott may not win the region this year but they are a dangerous team and could be a spoiler for a team or two.

I agree that teams around here need to improve to be able to compete on a consistent basis with teams out in the state although the statewide level of talent is down(LCA is down this year). Clay is down right now, as they have not been playing consistent ball all year and one of their star players went down with an ACL. I agree that Knott can be dangerous as well as Perry, Powell, and Leslie, but they are going to have to prove that down the road when they play Letcher and Breathitt. Until someone knocks them off their perch, Breathitt is still the team to beat. LCC is breathing down their neck and even a darkhouse could step in and pull some upsets.
