Morgan won the 16th in 2004!

I'm gonna say my Lions 52 Cougars 48 in a very hard fought and gritty game. This should be a classic and like mpspencer63(my cousin in law) said, both deserve the win. Good luck EC!!

Jarvis says it's going to be a knock-down-drag-out, triple overtime win for the Cougars. Both MC coaches get thrown out at end of 1st overtime after questionable 5th foul call on the head coach's son, Jordan. Chris Trusty (former assistant coach), has to step in and coach for the last two overtimes. Down by one with four seconds left in 3rd OT and possession of the ball, he calls time-out and quickly sets up a play to run DJ Sparkman off a triple-picked fence to sink the jumpshot for the win at the buzzer.

Thanks for the link and best of luck to your Lions. I will be pulling for my home school Morgan Co to win, but I will support either once they get to the state tourney.

 

Morgan won the 16th in 2004!

 

One of the biggest crowds that has shown up from one school. It was a sea of Blue and Gold.

I say this without having seen Elliott play, but I would give the nod to MC if it's a high-possession game because they have Perry & Redparth. Low possession game, I give the nod to Elliott, given their last two low scoring, come from behind wins, whereas MC has given up their large leads in recent fourth quarters due to slowing down the pace of the game.

One thing is for sure...EC will not panic. I like their poise, therefore I am going with them.

Like I said, I haven't seen them play, but does Elliott county have any players that can compete with Perry and Redparth?

Elliott county has beat Morgan 3 times this year. So I'm gonna say yes. They play about 7 or 8 kids. Elliott county guards are really small (Griffith boys) but they are both smart and great players. And the other 3 starters for the Lions probably are 6'0, 6'5, and 6'5. All 3 really good players. Their kids off of the bench also bring a lot of energy. Someone who follows them closely may be able to tell your more accurately their height. Jordan and Redparth are both great players but as we all know it is a team game. And Elliott county plays great team ball.

Good crowd here so far for being an hour before tip. I'm sure it'll look smaller since it is in Morehead's gym.

Nah, just a collective group of kids they play the game with heart and determination. Morgan Perry had 12 Redparth 14, Elliott Holbrook 14 Porter 14.
