Round one in district play between these two hated rivals. Who wins the first matchup at Danville.?

When and where?

They hate us. We hate them. We both fake it really well until the game starts.

Tuesday at Danville.

Tuesday at Danville.

 

Hmmmmm....let's go _____

Danville is 0-1 in district and losing this game puts them in a bad bad spot.

 

Boyle County is 1-0 in district and needs to win every game in district to put themselves in a position to make it to region. The 45th is brutal.

Danville by 5

Boyle by 3

Boyle shouldn't have that much difficulty in this one. I say they will win by a solid 7 - 9 points. Lincoln has already won at Danville. Honestly, Danville just isn't as good this year as I expected.

 

At this point, I think Boyle is in the mix for the 4/5 spot in the region. They should win district this year.

Boyle by 3-5.

Three pointers will keep Danville in this game. I'm not sure they'll be able to score much other than threes and free throws.

I have watched everyone in the 45th play at least once. Watched Lincoln vs Danville and Garrard vs Boyle. Based on those game alone I rank the 45th as follows:

#1 Boyle. The most talented team in the district.

#2 Garrard. Solid starting 5, no bench.

#3 Lincoln. Young and small, very well coached.

#4 Danville. Very athletic, must force up tempo game to be effective.

 

I will also say you could completely flip my order and make a strong case for each team. This is just my assessment having watched Garrard, Lincoln, and Danville once.

 

I think an energetic, yet patient Boyle County beats Danville.

 

Boyle 53

Danville 44

Three pointers will keep Danville in this game. I'm not sure they'll be able to score much other than threes and free throws.

 

I don't think Danville can answer Colton in the post. The Ads are a scrappy bunch but I have to go with the Rebels by 7 in this one.

 

I'll say 56-49
