Harlan County will be the favored to win their region and make a state tournament appearance at Rupp.  Trent Noah is engine that makes them go.  He draws a lot of fouls and cashes in at the charity stripe. He will show well at the Arby’s. 

I think I will probably go to the 13th Region tournament this year. 

I went to 15th two years ago and 14th last year. 

Region tournaments in Kentucky are mega fun to go watch in person.

The 13th is played at the Corbin arena in Corbin Kentucky.  They are indeed fun to watch.  In Kentucky you must win your region to qualify for state unlike in Tennessee region runners up move on. Also, Kentucky does not class their basketball.  Region championships are truly earned.  Mountain basketball in Kentucky (regions 12-13-14-15-16) produce electric atmospheres at region tournaments.  Those people are basketball fanatics!

How much does Corbin arena hold? 

14th region is at Perry County Central and it holds around 5000 I believe. 15th region is at Appalachian Wireless Arena and it holds more than that. Both of those places were packed to the gills.

I think around 3500.  Not 100% sure.  Last year Reed Sheppards high school won the region and it was full.  Atmosphere is hurt some because playing floor is too far from seating but plenty of parking and good seating viewpoints.  Biggest issue you will encounter is getting out.  Arena sits on a hill and only one road in and out.

What a game! That’s why you play to win instead of not to lose. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it, it’s within the rules here, but trying to hold the basketball for over 2 minutes of game time just stinks, and really shouldn’t be an option. Congrats to Mentor and hats off to GW they’re super impressive, Kritner was unreal.

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
