I'd like to see Fleming get a win but I think the choice is John Hardin in this one.

Should be a great matchup. Having seen both teams play this year Fleming must neutralize the big kid for JH. JH must also slow down Burns. Should be entertaining.

I don't know much about Fleming County, but John Hardin will bring a lot of pressure the entire game. Fleming County must be able to handle that pressure to have a chance. JH has a deep bench that goes 9-10 deep. A lot of teams can stay with them for the first half but then their depth takes over. Should be a good one though.

I have John Hardin winning this one by double figures. They are too big and too athletic across the board for Fleming.

I think depth will be a factor for Fleming. They don't seem to have much. I'd love to see them pull this one off.

Coach Starns may be the deciding factor in this game and how far Fleming goes

How so?

Teams from the 5th Region haven't fared well at Rupp in recent years, with only two teams getting past the first round since 2006. One of those was John Hardin last year, and most of those same guys are back this year. With a good mix of size, athleticism and depth to go with last year's experience, John is going to be a tough out this year.
