The top two teams in the 5th region collide Tuesday night at North Hardin.

Any thoughts on this matchup.

After seeing both play last weekend, I would give the edge to North Hardin.

Tony Jackson is the difference maker for North, 32 points against Montgomery County in the win including 1 alley oop dunk and 2 other monster dunk. He was also lights out from behind the arc.

I don't think Central Hardin is a top 2 team in the region. In the district yes, but not the region. As for the game, should be a good one; Jackson is having a huge year. But I think Central will force North to make outside shots with their zone, and outside of Jackson; North doesn't have good shooters. Interesting game though

I think that North takes this one by 10 or more.. While correct on outside shooting, Central must eliminate the penetration by North. Key will be how well Central can shoot the outside shot

Based off of records up to this point in the season, these are the regions top 2 teams.

Quality of opponents should also come into play. I think Central is a good team; but your record shouldn't be the only determinant. Records can be misleading. Should be a good game though.
