Cager hasn't missed a beat. Looked way better from where he was at the end of last year. Johnson seems to be recovering from his injury, you can tell he's not at 100% but even at 75% he's a great player. Tolliver is still battling a hand injury, but had a nice dunk at the end. Burks was sick tonight, he needs to be good if they want to win Saturday.

Saturday will be the big test. Hoptown has a big edge in depth and guard play, but County is very physical and plays that patented Stovall press thats hard to prepare for on any night.

Hoptown has the makings of an elite team in the state, but they still have a ways to go.

I also will say I felt bad for the Graves coach tonight when he got his technical. I do not think he was over the top at all. I try not to call out officials because it is a hard job, but that guy tonight was too hard on the Graves bench.
