We have been blessed to be alive for such a historic time for high school hoops in Kentucky. From the hype being proven real about last year’s #1 rated player in the state, Reed Sheppard. To the record held by Wayland’s “King” Kelly Coleman for 67 years being broken by a free throw sinking through the bottom of the net at Rupp Arena by current #1 player Travis Perry in last year’s edition of the KHSAA Sweet 16. It certainly has been one of the more exciting times that I can remember for prep hoops in the Bluegrass State. I have had the opportunity to watch Lyon County play a hand full of times, most recently being at the 2024 Kentucky All “A” Classic in Corbin. Any time Lyon County plays, it draws a crowd of people not commonly seen by a Single-A school from such a small town like Eddyville. People are wanting to catch a glimpse of the history maker, having that “I was there” moment with Perry. Travis is a treat to watch, there’s no short cut around it, we are witnesses to history and that should be appreciated as Lyon County’s own “Big 3” in Perry (Kentucky commit), Brady Shoulders (UT-Martin commit), and Jack Reddick (Uncommitted) look to bring the hardware that has eluded them on back-to-back appearances in the Sweet 16. When watching Lyon County, many people are focused on the two Division-1 bound seniors. As a Coach, I found myself focused on Point Guard Jack Reddick. Reddick, knows where his teammates will be at all times. This is due to a high basketball IQ, but also to the fact he has played with Shoulders and Perry since the 2nd grade. You can quickly observe each of the 3’s natural instinct as to where each other will be on the court when you watch them play. One play that impressed me was on a Shoulders rebound, Reddick called for the outlet pass – – penetrating the lane and throwing a no look dish to Perry in the left corner for a quick 3. This happened against a good Owensboro Catholic defense, the game that was never really in doubt as to who was going to come out victorious, but it was spectacular how quickly they were able to convert for points on the offensive side, it was under 8 seconds from end-to-end. Reddick was also able to hit full stride while handling the rock crossing a defender before the dish, showing yo-yo like control. He is very quick, has good leaping ability, and plays with toughness that cannot be taught. He has intangibles, I love that he is a floor burner, often diving for loose balls to get the fast paced Lyon County offense started in transition. Reddick, whom has been playing varsity ball since the 7th Grade, has grown accustomed to playing through contact and finishes well at the rim through tough defense. He also must be guarded once he touches the ball, as he can make you pay from deep or throw a full court length pass for a quick bucket. In my eyes, Jack is a mid major to low major D1 player, look for him to make an impact for any program at the next level.
MilkCrate is at it early, 930am early (gotta love AAU ball), to cover the 2033 Boys and 2031 Girls Hoop Dreams Club Teams from Lexington. This tournament, being held at Griffin Elite in the Greater Cincinnati Area, looked to highlight some of the top elementary talent in the region. It’s going to be a long day, but Hoop Dreams seems up to the bell. If you’ve never been to Griffin Elite for a tournament before, it is a top of the line athletic facility featuring indoor turf and 3 full length basketball courts. Hosting many top national showcases this gym has seen numerous Division 1 and NBA players grace it’s court. Are we going to see the next one today?
Hoop Dreams, founded by Mike Scott, is an up and comer on the AAU Basketball circuit. Featuring 2 private training facilities in Lexington, Kentucky. Along with experienced Coaches and Trainers at their home base, these teams often play with maturity far exceeding their years.
The day started with G-League Alum Ismailia “Coach Iso” Kane’s 3rd grade boys from Hoop Dreams featured on the Main Court taking on the Knights. Hoop Dreams, led by Class of 2033 elite ball handler #4 Baylor Mays (pictured below) jumped out to a 5-2 lead on a nice drive to the basket by HD’s Jackson Bryant, a big man with a knack for rebounding on both ends of the floor. Not to be outdone, Mays took his defender on an isolation down the court, nailing the right handed layup to give Hoop Dreams a 7-4 lead with 11:19 to go in the first. Carrying momentum from the made layup, Mays immediately stole the inbounds pass but was called for steps, showing he is here to ball. Miller Sutton from Hoop Dreams, carved defenders early, putting up an impressive floater off of the dribble to give HD a 13-4 lead with 5 minutes remaining in the initial half. Mays came right back down the floor nailing open from NBA range to give his team some separation on the offensive end as Hoop Dreams doubled up the Knights 16-8 with 3 minutes remaining in the 1st half. Graves, not satisfied with the lead, drove down the court for an impressive right handed finish with the foul at 18 seconds remaining. Although he failed to convert from the charity stripe, he had to feel good as his team took a 10 point lead into the half. HD started out the 2nd half with a nice basket from big man Jackson Bryant on the dish from Mikey Scott who provided a quick spark plug but was removed from the game due to a cast on his arm. Bryant, who was feeling it, took it back up on the next possession, giving HD a 22-10 lead with 12:59 remaining. Bryant, converting an old fashioned 3 point play, stretched the lead to 15 with 11:13 to play. Showing his versatility down low, he swatted #45 Cook from the Knights leading to a bucket by Mays on the opposite end. This game was never in doubt as Hoop Dreams wins big 37-14 and move onto the next round.
The 5th Grade girls reigning from Hoop Dreams in Lexington had next. Playing up a division, the first round game put them against the 6th graders from Winchester, Kentucky and Win-City Elite. Class of 2031’s Nora Jane(pictured below front), a constant energy on the floor and relentless rebounder and defender, played to the strength of her game at the start, leading to separate buckets by twins Zoey Brown (pictured below back) and Reece Brown. Nora Jane and Zoey Brown carried HD on a 4-0 at the expense of the Win-City defense as HD forced a timeout from red with 14:21 left in the first half leading 8-6 behind an early 4 points from Nora Jane. Sophia Flynn of Hoop Dreams, showed Caitlyn Clark range with 7:23 remaining nailing a deep three in the face on a Win-City defender, however HD was slow getting back and got caught in transition on the other end leading to a timeout from HD Head Coach DeShaunti Clay. Flynn, showing her range is no joke, nailed another from deep. Win-City had a flurry of offense matched only by the snow falling outside to cut the HD lead to 1 with 14.1 remaining in the half. Carter Scott, fouled on the other end went 1/2 from the line. We are all knotted up at half, 20 a side. The 2nd half started with Win-City jumping out with a four point advantage early. Zoey Brown got HD started on the offense end in the 2nd half with 15:33 remaining, narrowing Win-City’s lead to 2. Next trip down the floor, elite passer and ball handler Carter Scott evened it up at 26. Scott, stepping up to the line with 12:17 remaining, went 1/2 putting HD on up 1. That free throw must’ve boosted her confidence, as she slashed down the lane to her dominat side (left) to execute a beautiful floater through a crowded paint on the next 2 possessions giving Hoop Dreams a 31-27 lead. Harper Hale of Hoop Dreams penetrated the lane hard on a great look from Carter Scott drawing the contact but failing to convert going 0/2 from the line giving Hoop Dreams a one possession cushion with 3:14 left in the contest. Hoop Dreams fell down 1 on a Win-City made bucket from 2 forcing Hoop Dreams to call timeout with 8.4 remaining in the game to set up a play resulting in a Carter Scott made layup to go up 38-37 with 2 seconds remaining, forcing a Win-City timeout. Win-City failed to get up a heave for the win. Hoop Dreams wins it 38-37, keeping their own hoop dreams alive in the tournament.
Boys championship
The third grade boys from Hoop Dreams were back at it against the Bluegrass Buckets in the championship game of the 2033 division. HD’s Baylor Mays looked to continue his impressive performance thus far in the tournament, playing well individually in spite of his squad taking an L in game 2. “Sirus” made famous by the Alan Parsons Project and the Chicago Bulls teams of my childhood, greeted the starters as both teams looked locked in and ready to compete for the title. The BlueGrass Buckets’ Earlywine kicked off scoring 90 seconds into the game, answered at the other end on a Mays assist evening it up with 16:16 to play. Donovan from the Buckets claimed a bucket of his own on the offensive end before immediately forcing a Hoops Dream turnover on a poorly executed pass. The snow must’ve made the baskets cold because both teams fell ice cold from the field, with HD leading 5-4 as Coach Iso took a timeout to regroup with 8:15 remaining in the half. Immediately out of the timeout, HD’s Miller Sutton fouled Braxton Mitchell, a shifty guard, from three land converting 2/3 freebies. The game went into half, baskets still frozen, we sit 14-8 Buckets. Beginning the championship half, Hoop Dreams Bryant crashed the boards and laid the ball back in, one thing that stood out was him keeping the ball high and never bringing it down. Utilizing a size advantage he is going to have on most teams. One team wide struggle is getting back on defense, as they give up another quick one in transition to give the lead to the Buckets 17-12 with 14:24 remaining. Next trip down the floor for HD Mays laid one in off the glass which was answered no more than 3 seconds later on the other end by the buckets. Coach Iso takes a timeout with 12:39 remaining to stop the bleeding. With 10:45 remaining, Mays decided to take over, going 2/2 from the field narrowing the Hoop Dreams deficit to 3 as the Buckets lead 21-18. Bryant, relentless on the glass, gobbled up another board and laid it back in to for Hoop Dreams to answer a bucket on the opposite end narrowing the gap back to 3 with 7:30 remaining until we crowned a champion. Earlywine nailed one from 18 feet, good for three, 25-20 Bluegrass bucket lead with 3:21 left. Hagan Earlywine sunk the dagger from 12 feet, followed by a Grayson Donovan three that left an insurmountable lead for the HD squad from Lexington. Congrats to Bluegrass Buckets as they are crowned champion of the 2033 Division, 30-21 final.
Girls Final Game
The main event for MilkCrate featured Hoop Dream’s class of 2031 girls team against the squad from North Laurel. They will have their hands full as this North Laurel 6th grade team has some towers down low and showcases elite depth. The girls from Lexington jumped out to an early 3 point lead on a made free throw from Carter Scott, 3-0 with 17:25 remaining in the 1st. Scott went right back to the other end with a euro step to her dominant left side and converted the difficult bucket through traffic. Zoey Brown got in on the action, nailing a 9 foot chip shot from the corner to make it 7-5 HD, but the Dreamers were caught sleeping on the other end as North Laurel scored 2 quick field goals to take the lead 9-7 with 14:18 left, timeout Hoop Dreams. Zoey Brown must like the taste of nylon, because she got a while bucket full out of the time out, ball game was shortly squared up at 9 before a costly HD turnover resulting in an easy basket for the North Laurel press. The North Laurel press was working as they exploded for a quick 8 putting up North 17-11. The Dreamers caught fire as Scott started looking to get her teammates involved, firing a cross lane pass from the top of the key for an east Nora Jane layup. North Laurel still finds themselves on top by 7 with 5:15 remaining. This team from Laurel County is experienced, providing a well needed challenge for the Dreamer c/o ‘31 team who normally finds themselves on top at half. Not today, North leads the Dreamers 29-17. The final half started with more of the same from North Laurel, extending the lead to 18 with 17:08 remaining. Reece Brown got scoring started for the Dreams squad with 16:17 remaining in the game, the score is now 37-19 as the Dreamers are searching anywhere for some answers to this high powered North Laurel offense. The Hoop Dreams girls never gave up, fighting hard but were clearly outsized and outmatched physically, give them a year and they will be winning these types of games in the 2031 division. The girls from Laurel County wins this round, in a contest that was decided early, 51-28.
As I dawn my Reds cap in the shadows of the Downtown Cincinnati Skyline, it’s time for me to go be a dad to my own little dreamer. The state of basketball is good, these players showcased skills that I’m sure have been developed hours in the gym…or maybe in the streets with their own milk crate. All I know is these kids can hoop. That’s a wrap.
From the 606 to the 502, MilkCrate was high in the rafters at Franklin County High School in the state capital of Frankfort, Kentucky for the Gary Moore Classic. Gary Moore, the namesake of the showcase, was a legendary coach at Franklin County from 1980-2001, leading his Flyers to 5 State tournament Appearances and 417 Wins. This gym has an old school vibe and I am here for it, this is a shooters gym. The classics this place must have seen….if only walls could talk.
The prelim for the heavyweight matchup tonight brings legendary Kentucky Program the Scott County Cardinals to face Franklin County. Scott County has been stripped of much of the talent that we are familiar with seeing with them. Tonight’s game will be a scouting mission for myself. Who is going to define themselves? Who is going to show me that I drove to Frankfort for a reason? Speaking of legendary coaches, I would be remissed if I didn’t pass along my own and condolences to Scott County “Basket God” the late Billy Hicks. As someone who follows hoops closely, he was an absolute icon of the hardwood here in Kentucky, it only feels right to be watching his beloved Cards in this season that they have dedicated to him. The game started slow but Tristian Christopher led Scott County to an early 4 point lead at the first timeout of the half. Christopher, a Georgetown junior, was the main source of offense early. Taking defenders off of the bounce and attacking the basket. He did fail to convert an easy finish but followed up the next trip down the court with a conversion on a similar move, on the defensive side of the ball he needs to be taught proper position. I feel he fits the profile to be a good role player for a Division 3 school. There isn’t a lack of effort, it just doesn’t look like he is confident in where he needs to be on the court. He showed his vision with 3:32 left in the half, making a pass in transition that showed his offensive IQ, Scott County failed to convert but it was a next level pass nonetheless. We go into halftime squared up at 30, with the gym starting to fill for the finale. The second half started with the same story as the first, low scoring but high energy. Scott County was able to earn a few baskets in transition where they excel as a team. The faster the pace, the better for them. Scott County looks to close out the Flyers taking a 2 point lead into the 4th quarter. The game came down to a nail biter, tied up at 51 with 4 seconds left and Franklin County’s Trahan stepped up and nailed a clutch free throw to give FCHS the lead by 1 with 4.1 left on the clock. Check his veins for ice, Franklin County wins 52-51.
The Main Event brings us nationally sought after recruit 7’1” Malachi Moreno and his Great Crossing Warhawks to take on Bellarmine Bound Tyler Doyle and the Lexington Catholic Knights. Great Crossing also rosters 6’9” junior forward Vince Dawson who scores at a high clip and holds interest from numerous mid major programs, Western Kentucky Head Coach Steve Lutz was in the house to watch him tonight. Doyle slashed through the line with a nice spin move converting the basket but failing to capitalize on the and-1 to get scoring started for the Knights. Not to be outdone, Dawson rattled the rim converting a well executed alley oop. That got his competitive juices flowing as he drained a 3 directly in the faces of the Knights the next trip down the floor to give Great Crossing an early 7-2 lead with 5:07 remaining in the first. Moreno got on the board with 4:36 remaining bringing the lead to 5 and rejecting Doyle’s layup attempt on the other end, resulting in a basket in transition. Tyler Doyle was not to be denied as he scored in the post next possession for the Knights. The Knights kept attacking the basket low to no avail, they were no match for the WarHawk backstop Moreno who was having his own block party gobbling up shots from the Catholic offense. We end the first with top ranked-Great Crossing, up 17-8. Catholic started the 2nd quarter with some grit, scoring 2 quick buckets, and converting an and-1 to cut the deficit to 4. Moreno immediately answered on the other end prompting Catholic’s long time coach, Brandon Salsman, to take a timeout to try to regroup his squad after the WarHawk onslaught. Catholic, one of the top shooting teams in Kentucky from deep, started to get hot. Taking the lead up one on a deep John Reinhart made 3 with 1:37 remaining in the first half. Catholic came out of the locker room bringing much of that same heat and energy, drilling yet another triple followed by a beautiful right handed floater from Reinhart. Doyle took on Moreno 1-on-1 in a called isolation after Moreno found himself switched and laid a fight floater off of the glass driving from the left corner, drawing the whistle and converting the basket. Catholic’s contingent of students let Moreno know about it as Moreno took that personal and threw floater from Doyle into the 3rd row, it drew a questionable goaltending call but shows Moreno’s knack for the ball and how quickly he can explode to a max vertical. Doyle was not intimidated, as he found Moreno mismatched at the top of the key and took him off the bounce for yet another beautiful floater off of the backboard. We go into the 4th with Catholic up 4 and this shaping up to be an 11th Region classic. Lex Cath’s Ryan Harward drew a clutch charge to start the 4th quarter giving Catholic the clear momentum in the moment. The Catholic student section, who made the short drive from Lexington’s southside, began to roar… making the gym difficult for Great Crossing to call their offensive set. That didn’t matter though as Great Crossing’s Gage Richardson tickled the twine to bring the game to 47-44, Catholic up, with 4:03 remaining in the game. The Catholic fans shouted “Defense” but were met with another dagger from deep by Richardson who was letting that dawg in him eat. Moreno showed why he’s so highly sought after coming out of the timeout with a difficult and 1 conversion to give Great Crossing the lead by 2 with 3:09 remaining. Catholic’s Reinhart immediately answered back with another 3 giving the Knights a 1 point edge, however the failed to pick up his assignment on a WarHawk inbound play resulting in an easy pass by Moreno under the basket for 2. Moreno Iaid in another chip shot with 1:22 remaining to give the lead to Great Crossing. Dawson took a bad foul around 35 feet away from the basket, giving Catholic a side out of bounds play that resulted in a missed Reninhart three. Great Crossing’s Jaylen Warren slashed to the lane to put up a floater that resulted in a basket and the foul as he went to the charity stripe to ice the game with 22 seconds left, nailing it. Absolutely cold blooded, right in front of the self titled “Dungeon”..or more commonly known as the Lexington Catholic student section. Catholic’s Doyle drove the lane to try to draw contact on Moreno who rejected his attempt and grabbed the rebound. Shew, what a 4th quarter. What a game. What a talent the WarHawks have in Malachi Moreno. A true 5 who plays in the post, and a good free throw shooter. Give this one to Great Crossing 58-50. Doyle played well on the offensive in totaling 19 points but Moreno finished with 20 points, 19 boards, and 7 blocks earning player of the game and letting the Catholic faithful know about it as he exited the court.
(Side note: I would like to also extend a huge congratulations on behalf of myself and MilkCrate Hoops to Travis Perry, who scored his 5000th point in Kentucky High School Basketball. He now etches his name in uncharted territory, congrats Travis.)
This season continues to please with Kentucky being as talent rich as it has been in quite some time. We are in for a treat coming down the stretch of this high school season, the Sweet 16, district and regional tournaments promise to bring the madness. Let’s go!!
I made the quick drive down 75 south from Lexington to the birthplace of fried chicken, or fried chicken that matters at least, referring to none other than the Original Kentucky Fried Chicken in Corbin, Kentucky. The excitement filled the building early and “White Horse” by Eastern Kentucky’s own Chris Stapleton rang through the speakers. Night 2 of the All “A” Classic promised to paralleled only by the games of the Sweet 16 in Rupp Arena in atmosphere , but the Road to Rupp was stuck in a traffic jam at the top of the KHSAA “A” division at The Arena in Corbin as 8 teams remain vying for the elusive title of Kentucky’s All “A” Champion.
The first game matched the Newport Wildcats against the Danville Christian Warriors. MilkCrate, myself mainly, was busting with excitement from the game yesterday to see how Danville’s 6’11’’ tower Lual Ayiei can carry the momentum from his impressive performance. Newport’s Power 5 offer holding forward Tay Kinney looked locked in early, nailing a 3 from the left corner under a minute into the game. Not to be outdone, Danville’s own, junior Braden Fugate said “not so fast” and nailed a dagger from three land. That’s when I knew we were in for a fight in the 606. Danville Christian made it rain in the first as all but 1 basket came from deep. DCA took a lead after the first 11-7. Emmanuel Dut, a mid major prospect in my eyes, kicked off the 2nd half with an impressive floater from the top of the paint. Kinney tried to answer on the other end, embellishing contact from a missed midrange deuce that DCA failed to take advantage of in transition. One thing that stands out in particular is Ayiei’s ability to run the court. Most of the 7 footers at this age look a bit awkward when they run, not Ayiei…whom resembles more of a soccer player. Kinney began the 2nd half locked in defensively creating a turnover on DCA’s first possession. Emmanuel Dut, a senior for the Warriors, had an off game a as he only finished with 10 points ultimately proving as a stallworth for the Warriors, a mid major is going to be getting an absolute steal with Dut…..he finishes, handles well, owns a seemingly endless stamina, and has intangible assets that clearly lead his Danville Christian Warriors. The Wildcats from Newport stormed back, largely boosted by a game total of 14 points from Tay Kinney, winning the game in a gutsy comeback 46-34. I don’t expect this to be the last we hear from the Warriors though, barring an upset they certainly will get another shot at the big one in Lexington.
The “big one” of the night put 5000 all time point seeker and Kentucky signee Travis Perry against Walton-Verona from Region 8. Walton-Verona’s top prospect a 6’6” Junior Aaron Gutman who could be described as an athletic 3 whom can handle the rock when needed, looked to pull off the ultimate upset in beating whom many feel is state title favorite in Lyon County. Both teams play fast, this promised to be a fun one, hope the stripes have their running shoes on. Travis Perry looked like he was ready to run through a brick wall in warmups, completely locked in to the task at hand. The first quarter, Walton-Verona came out strong, giving Lyon County a game. The Eddyville Radio announcer seated next to me almost sounded to be as in disbelief that Lyon County found themselves in a game, but with the lead 22-15 after 1. Starting the second quarter, Walton-Verona’s Gutman put Lyon County’s Jack Reddick on a poster. Reddick, a senior guard with elite passing skills from Eddyville, is very under- recruited with no real major offers to speak of. He has been officially invited to MilkCrate’s unsigned senior camp in Lexington this April. The 2nd quarter had Perry and Gutman going back and forth, with Gutman and Walton-Verona storming back to cut the lead to 1 as the game went into half with the Lion’s on top 34-33. Coming out of the locker room, Walton-Verona carried their momentum from the 2nd Quarter taking the lead 43-41 at the first timeout of the Third. Lyon County showed that dawg in them and why they are a state champ favorite taking the lead back 50-47 by an explosive run started by none other than Jack Reddick, who was immediately T’d up after voicing satisfaction for a clutch made bucket from NBA range. 6’2” senior Julian Dixon was the leader for the Bearcats from Walton-Verona. Going OFF in the 3rd with some very difficult and contested layups at rim level bringing Walton-Verona back within 2 heading into the final quarter 54-52. Lyon County, pulled together a team effort to take a 60-52 with 2:15 remaining in the game and the feeling in the arena was that the game was in hand. The first 3 of this one were as good as you can get in high school basketball, it was an absolute treat for the 2,000+ in attendance. The Lions move on to the semi-finals 64-52 where they will face Tay Kinney and Newport. Grab your popcorn, that means Tay Kinney and Travis Perry are lined up for what is sure to be a heavy weight bout where Perry will still be seeking that 5000th point, etching his name once again in the record books. Also, who says basketball isn’t romantic? Perry broke the state scoring record against this same Newport team in Rupp last year.
Hopefully up to task of following up the previous battle, we have other Bulldogs from Clinton county taking on offensive juggernaut Murray from way out West Kentucky in Region 1. Clinton County, bolstered by 6-6 Junior Big Cannon Young will be in for a track meet as 6’3” Lincoln English and ultra athletic Jeremiah Jones, a 6-4 220 pounder who holds a football offer from the Louisville Cardinals look to play fast. Zayvion Carman might be a name to watch from Murray, a 6-6 stretch 4 playing with grit and toughness. However, Jones proved to be too athletic for anyone on Clinton County to properly match up. Although the game was played fast, the scoring started slow as Murray led 16-11 heading into half. Jeremiah Jones came out in the second quickly matching his first half total of 4 points, widening the lead to 10 at the first timeout of the final half. Young earned his 4th foul late in the 3rd and headed to the bench to watch as Murray took an 8 point lead into the 4th. This game ended uneventfully, but look for Murray to get back to their high scoring ways in their semi final matchup tomorrow. Toss this one up to an off night from the field, Murray wins 46-32.
The night cap, tipping off at 9:54pm local time pairs the defending champion from 2023 Louisville’s Evangel Christian Academy against east Kentucky Perennial “A” power Pikeville. Evangel, boasts 6’2” guard Christian Doerr whom is receiving interest from Division 1 programs and teammate Karan Tille, considered to be one of the top floor generals in the state. Evangel will have their hands full however as Pikeville big, 6’9” Charlie Fitzer looked to lead Pikeville to the Semi-Finals against the Tigers from Murray. Evangel was the far superior team athletically but Pikeville showed heart. Unfortunately, heart doesn’t stop the ball from going into the basket and evangel jumped out to an early 9-4 lead. Christian Doerr, a shifty guard with full court vision also put a clinic on in the mid range, going 2 for 2 in the first from the top of the paint. Evangel is an all around team full of players that hold division 1 athleticism, the youth of the program stands to be tested as they will have to come out of the very difficult 6th Region in Louisville. They certainly pass the looks test however, Doerr is the obvious leader and the other 4 on the court look to him for direction. They do take a rather large amount of long 2’s, but are one of the best teams I’ve seen this season on the defensive end of the floor. I don’t just credit that to elite athleticism, these kids were communicating and calling assignments on their own. Evangel wins big, 52-37 in a game that will leave a sour taste in the mouths of the Pikeville Faithful setting up what is sure to be a track meet against Murray for a spot in the ‘ship. I’m tired, it’s late, tournament time is crazy, but I’m ready for some hoop dreams of my own….Hoots out.
The Coach Ryan Report
