the blazers played tough (yet very clean basketball) and had lots of heart. One of the Blazers players was familiar to the expo center from an earlier Miners tryout. Their uniforms looked better than other "walmart unis" I have heard horror stories about in the ABA. They brought a full roster and showed flashes of nice transition basketball. The bad news for them is they were greatly outmanned by the talent on the Miners roster.
One bad issue at the game was the official scorer was off on his foul count as Joe Buck was whistled for 5 fouls but the scorer had him with 6. I was positive he only had 5 and that was confirmed by the gentleman that does DAKSTATS for league stats. Talk about reverse home cooking????
Overall, a nice first home game with lots of entertainment for a Sunday evening. The Miners and the Diamond Girls (Miner's dance team) held an autograph session after the game. The kids were entertained by timeout contests and Hard Hat Harry the Canary, the Miner's mascot.

Hey I was glad to see that crowd there. Pretty good size , I just hope it continues. Tomorrow night will be interesting to see with Shelby Valley and Pikeville High School playing.
I tell you that Joe Buck is a hustler and a heck of a player. I am excited with this team we have this year.
See ya at the games

Valley an Pikeville, itll be Valley by 40.
I seen and worked the games this weekend and after watching Pikeville and Valley I think Valley may win State and for Pikeville be lucky to get into 15 region tourney. Back to Miners...Love the Win but I'm not sure the players won though. I dont think the PT was even. So hopefully that gets fixed tomorrow...But its a long season and I hope to see all W's in the end...Go Miners
