Smith Believes Best Basketball’s Ahead Of Lady Bobcats

The Pickett County girls basketball team has been ranked in the Associated Presses Top 10 poll in each week this season. The recognition coach Brent Smith’s Lady Bobcats received, has not gone unnoticed, but apart of the norm there in Byrdstown.

“Any time you get any notoriety as a team it’s a great thing,” Smith said. “We’ve been ranked in the AP for the last several years.  I think sometimes as a coach and as players we take it for granted.”

Despite a spot in the AP Top 10 all season and a 21-2 overall, and 9-2 District 6, Single A, record coach Smith believes the Lady Bobcats have better basketball to play.

“We’ve had a stretch here where we’ve won by large margins,” Smith said. “I don’t feel like we’ve played our best basketball yet.I think sometimes we get bored as the year progresses and we are expected to win by large numbers and we wind up doing it. We have played some games where we have been kind of lax.”

Pickett County started the season with six straight wins before a December 13th, home loss to Clarkrange.  The Lady Bobcats rattled off 13 more wins in a row before they lost their second game of the season to Clarkrange on the road.

Pickett County has three district games left on the schedule, and a non conference game against 3A Warren County , in the season finale, in McMinnville.

A February 4th match up against Clay County, who gave Clarkrange their only district loss of the season, in all likelihood will determine the number two seed in the district tournament.

“We have some big games coming to finish out the season,” Smith said. “Maybe it will flip a switch for us.”
