I would like to congratulate the Elliott County Lions for a wonderful season, all the way to the Sweet Sixteen. Your school and community could not be more proud of the effort that each of you have put into every game, victory or defeat. Your game against Mason County showed your talent and commitment. A few breaks in our favor could have had Elliott County playing in the state finals. Everyone will be looking forward to the 2008-09 season, hoping that the Lions will take it all the way to Rupp and the final game in ‘09!

If, indeed, the ECHS schedule includes some of the nations best next year….be ready for a season’s record similar to that of Scott Co. this year….also, given I have no dog in this fight, I can guess that MAYBE ECHS was overrated this year in that it was a below average schedule, competition wise, and the loss to Rose Hill in the Class ‘A’, and with the 29 point loss to Mason Co., resulted in the Royals looking past the Lions….just my opinions based on the FACTS

“Elliott County is a team that has not won a single game against one ranked team all season. They may end up being one of the state’s most grossly overrated team ever.” Are you kidding me?

I have watched multiple games this year for Elliott. What have you watched 2 games? This was one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the state and one of the best defensive pressure teams. This team performed well all year.

Elliott only played 2 teams in the top 25 all year. You can ask 15,000 people (excluding some Mason fans) from last nights game that Elliott should have had their first win against a top 25. I know You know nothing about basketball, because this was one of the best 5 teams at the state tournament this year. Elliott has several games against some of the nations top teams next year, so we will get plenty of opportunities next year not only against the states best but country’s best.

KHSAA should be ashamed of one of their officials last night. Who should never be able to officiate another game in the state of KY. You know which one I am talking about. If you ever see these officials ask them what was discussed when they huddled up when Elliott was up 7 at the end of the game. Shame on you officials and shame on the KHSAA. It is not all about $$$. The other 2 did a decent job until swallowing their whistles late in the game.

Elliott County is a good team. They had literally only one kid over 6-foot tall and Mason County did not perform well and may have had their guard down.

You have got to be kidding me. Bad calls on both sides, lol. Was you at the game? You must have your rose color Mason County glasses on. You need to admit that Elliott outplayed Mason the entire game and deserved the win. Good luck next year Elliott let’s bring home a state championship.

There were alot of bad calls on both sides but that was not the deciding factor on the game. Give credit where credit is due the Mason County Royals are just a great team of young men who stepped up their game at the crucial time. Way to go MCHS, you have alot of fans all over — Lets Win this thing!!!

Reference to Susan Burton statement regarding the officiating in Mason Vs. Elliott game #8.
The talent displayed by the 5 to 6 players from Sandy Hook was the only thing that the referees could not take away from Elliott. The officiating took away many opportunties from Elliott and possibly the game. and with a minute to go, a no call situation in the paint near Elliott’s goal may a cost Elliott the game, Mason took the ball down and scored a three to place them ahead by one. Elliott could not recover after that, the no call by the officials.
