So much basketball happening. Still spent from the Olympics. Hard to focus.

Senate recommits SB 1 to STate and local govt committee - no vote on pensions today - this spells trouble for the bill folks— Ronnie Ellis (@cnhifrankfort) March 9, 2018
So, yesterday, Mercer County beat Owensboro Catholic, 67-66.
ReplyDeleteGRC beat Elizabethtown, 42-35. This disappointed me, because I was WKU-newspaper friends with the Etown coach. I always root for him.
Mercy beat Ryle, 93-78.
Boyd County beat Manual, 71-53.
This evening, it’s Mercer vs. Clark at 6:30 Eastern and then Mercy vs. Boyd. I tend to root …:
-- old friends over people I've met, over people I've never met;
-- McCracken County over Madisonville-North Hopkins, over other peculiar favorites (Russellville, Paris, etc.), over most everyone else, over silly grudges (Tilghman, Mayfield, etc.);
— public over private;
— littler over bigger;
— town independent over county consolidated, and
— West over South, over North, over East, over between Louisville and Lexington, over Louisville, over Lexington.
By that rubric, I’m pretty clearly for Mercer (littler/South) over Clark (East) and Boyd (public/East) over Mercy (Louisville), then Mercer tomorrow.
