This should be a dandy. Last year Clay won the district title by 2 over Rockcastle. Clay won the only meeting this season with North by 3 points at Clay in what turned out to be a fantastic game.

 

I think North is playing much better right now and may pull off a shocker by beating Clay at Clay. Shawn Asher is averaging just over 6 rebounds per game and will need to be closer to 9-10 in this one. Justin Howard is hitting around 40% from behind the 3pt arc and needs to come up big in this one from the field as well as helping out on the boards with his fantastic leaping ability. The Jags have to find a way to control Swafford and Sizemore who have shot a combined 55.9% from the field as well as Jones who is their leading scorer, averaging over 18 ppg. This should be a dandy one!

Hate that I'll miss this one. Still, I've been talking up the Jags all season, so I'll call for them to pick up a district title in a three-point squeaker, 69-66.
