Has anyone else noticed we have Mounce from Mt. Airy (real life Mayberry, NC) and an Andrew (Andy) Taylor?

So is that a no?

More Bothwell press....

"Why Cornerstone can make state: Michael Bothwell is one of the state’s best players and a Mr. Basketball candidate. He led the Patriots with 24.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. The 6-foot-3 Furman commit made 57 3-pointers on 47 percent shooting. Cornerstone won 15 games competing with one of the state’s most challenging schedules, jam-packed with competition against high-caliber Division I and II programs....."

Last night in CCA's 88-45 win in the state playoffs, Mike Bothwell had an average night....26 pts, 7 assists and rebounds.

As much as I like the the scoring and 3 pt shooting prowess he's demonstrated, he is also a willing passer and rebounder.

Corbin beats Knox Central today 75-60. Andrew Taylor had 20 pts, 14 rebounds and 8 assists and no inappropriate post game comments.

Revenge game win. Warren JFK was the team that upset Bothwell's team last year in the tournament.

Corbin beat South Laurel for the 13th region title, 66-62 in OT, and advance to the Sweet Sixteen at Rupp arena. Andrew Taylor hit 13 of 20 from the field, finished with 37 points, 11 rebounds and four assists, and was named the tournament MVP.

Bothwell plays his next playoff game on Friday 3/9

Bracket for Andrew Taylor (Corbin) Kentucky sweet 16, Fyi Kentucky is one of the last few states to still have all their state HS teams competing for 1 championship.

Mike Bothwell and CCA play against Bristol tomorrow night. Bristol is a tiny consolidated school in Trumbull County...think Hoosiers (340 students). Bristol is ranked 6th is the state.
If I were a betting man I'd expect CCA to play Mansfield St. Peters in the Regional Finals. St. Peters is always good...in fact, we (Gilmour) played them in the Canton Regional Finals way back in 1992. We beat them 54-51.

CCA beats Bristol 50-33 to win the district championship. Mike Bothwell leads all scorers with 13 points.

I just discovered that Corbin appears to have Clifford the Big Red Dog as their mascot.

Player to watch

Taylor, a senior guard, came into this season with the reputation as one of the best players in the state, and he certainly lived up to it, leading the Redhounds with 28.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. The Furman signee is currently third all-time in the state with 3,588 career points, behind only King Kelly Coleman (4,337) and Charlie Osborne (3,647). He’s also 19th all time in rebounds. “He’s the best I’ve coached in 17 years here,” Pietrowski said. “Obviously, if you watch him play you see the ability he has. I think what a lot of people don’t know about him is his work ethic. He’s a kid who is literally in the gym every day improving his game.”
