This will be a good game. Rematch of last years Championship game.

I take the Tigers, they are hard to beat at home.

Is there a girls game or just the one boys game?

As far as Newport goes, yes, all will be locked and loaded.

Harding should have his way. I like Newport on the road. 74-67.

Is there a girls game or just the one boys game?

Yes there is a girls game at 6 but it is not an All A game. They play Seven Hills (OH)

I believe Beechwood is at full strength also tonight

On the road, All A tournament, in this atmosphere between 2 really good teams, the deciding factor is typically the home court advantage. Beechwood May also have a deeper bench. That said, if Newport can stay out of foul trouble, they should have a chance.

Who is the best player in this matchup? Draud? Or, Harding? Or, McGuire? Or, Miller? Or, Brannen?

Is Downton going to play? Heard he left the Holmes game early...

Harding. I don't think it is all that close, to be honest. Harding may be the best all around player in the 9th.

Yeah, but it seems like Newport will go several minutes in a row without looking his way. Beechwood looks to go through Draud and Brannen on almost every possession. It doesn't mean they are the only ones that shoot, but they get a touch on almost every trip down the floor.

I can't fix Newport's (lack of) execution, but the question was "who is the best player", so I think it is Harding and it isn't close. I legitimately think Harding is the most talented player in the 9th this year, and I'm not sure anyone else in this game makes my Top 5...although Draud would certainly be in that conversation.

I am pulling for Newport to win this game. The winner of this game will likely win the 9th region all a title.

Is Downton going to play? Heard he left the Holmes game early...

He is cleared to play
