Play 4 Fun Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Pickett County (AP #4) travels to Clarkrange (AP #1) tonight in what has to be one of the premier games in the state regardless of classification tonight! A Clarkrange win would all but guarantee the Buffs the #1 seed going into the district tournament. A PC win would in all likelihood create a coin flip later on this year for the regular season district title! Any opinions on how this one will go tonight? PC has a huge advantage with Courtney Pritchett and Abbi Bilbrey inside IMO, and good guard play as well. Clarkrange has an advantage with great guard play that can offset PC's pace of play better than in years past. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out for sure! Good luck to both teams and hopefully we get a good basketball game and everyone gets out injury free heading toward post season!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midtnbb Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 CR having to play a tough game last nite may cause problems tonight, but playing a home will help offset that some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Play 4 Fun Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Great game to watch last night. Both teams played decent and it was a slugfest like many people thought it would be. Came down to free throws at the end and CR hit theirs, PC didn't. Bottom line was PC made the plays down the stretch to put themselves back in the game, and CR slammed the door by making free throws and a couple plays really late to slam the door. Great game to watch. Can't wait until the next one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullShark Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Best game I have seen all season. Great atmosphere and I agree it was a slugfest. Congrats to CR. They are definitely going to be a tough out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, How do you think CR and Pickett stack up against those teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love watching HS basketball. I would have to give a slight advantage to CR over Summertown if I had to put a wager down. CR has been just so consistent when I have seen them and very well rounded and well coached. Pickett v Summertown would, IMO, come down to whether Pickett can hit the 3-ball. The post season is going to be a lot of fun. Can't wait to go watch the tournament in the Boro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbasketball Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Looks like Clarkrange is gonna win the district. Interesting thing will be who is the MVP of the district. I have saw Clarkrange play multiple times this season and the Monday girls have taken turns being the best player on the nights I was watching. I don't see either of them getting the award though because some just won't vote for a freshman. Pickett County has several talented players but I guess I would vote Prichett MVP of district. She can play any position and seems to be the rock for a very talented team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're eligible to play and perform better than the others it seems only fair that they would be rewarded. Giving the award to someone else because they've had a nice career is BS. We're talking about stats for THIS SEASON ONLY! Sometimes the younger player is just better than the upperclassmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Play 4 Fun Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 IMO Courtney Pritchett is hands down the MVP of this district. Take any one player off of Clarkrange and it doesn't effect them anywhere near what it would if Courtney wasn't there for Pickett. 3 players should be seriously considered and anyone other than these 3 would be a real surprise in my mind. 1. Courtney. 2. Kyleigh Hardy from Jackson County. 3. Taylor Strong from Clay County. Now, obviously that means the best team in the district for the regular season doesn't have the MVP, but in my mind, I don't think they do. Take any of those three players off their teams and their team drastically underperforms their current level of play. Take any one off of Clarkrange and they still probably have the same record. At worst two losses to Pickett. Basically the same record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe Pickett district record probably be the same without her thus far. Maybe clay would have beaten them??? As far has the freshman thing goes I agree. If they are the best player should not matter. I watched Clark range again Tuesday and I am of the opinion freshman twins are their two best players. One or both should be their team MVP.

UCSportsFan Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Without Pritchett they definitely lose to Clay Co. they barely won with her. Possibly to Jackson County in Gainesboro as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
