Final from Hopkinsville. Jalen Johnson led the Tigers with 21. Tyrik Edwards led the game with 22.

At this point county is looking unstoppable. They have great Rebounder's, shooters, scorers, and scrap guys. Hoptown should be a little worried due to the fact they have to play UHA again first round in district after barely beating them Thursday thanks to jalen Johnson for bailing them out with that being said its hard to beat a team 3 times especially when the starting 5 matches up perfectly

Reports on Twitter that Haworth may have cussed out some county fans after the game. I didn't see it but it's out there.

 

In terms of the game, county, even when hoptown pulled even, was in control. Ware was in foul trouble and fouled out with 5:00 left and county pulled away.

Sebree was great too.

 

This game and other losses are a microcosm of why Haworth hasn't won't a title despite assembling a ton of talent at hoptown the last 5 years. He simply can't beat teams that don't have trouble with his press.

 

Great win for my colonels.

Where did you see this on twitter? Hop town will need to guard better against UHA or there will be no 3rd or 4th game vs county. They are having a very hard time playing defense. Wonder if they might go to a 3-2 zone?

Haworth has been known to play a 1-2-2 or 1-3-1. The issue is that his teams learn to rely on the press to get easy buckets. They don't have to buckle down in the half court against average teams so they look bad against teams that can handle their press. He's got to change his entire defensive philosophy...

You are closer to the situation than I, but I wouldn't judge Haworth's coaching ability too harshly. You are right...he has assembled quite a bit of talent at Hoptown...but he has an awfully good record to go with it.

 

Also, his "cussing out" some fans doesn't seem to fit the profile. Again, I'm not real close to the situation...just looks that way from way down here.

He got a bad technical and could have been thrown out early in the game. Players bad to hold him back. I'll leave it at that. No sense in going into his personality...

He should have been thrown out when he charged the court after the buzzer beater was waived off. The shot wasn't even close and the ref that originally ruled it good was on the other end of the court. The ref closest to the play had to call them all in and overrule the call. Haworth's antics were at an all-time high. My belief is he is having trouble coming to terms with the fact that Hoptown can't beat County. They are far superior in every way especially in coaching. Hoptown can fool everybody by beating up on teams that can't handle their press but they will get exposed every time against fundamentally sound teams like the Colonels.

County has a great coach that knows what he is doing, first time since Stovall. He is a.great game.coach.and does not.get rattled. Going to have to be a.great team to beat them

The district tourney there ought to be a dandy. Again. Lots of upsets over the years, and three teams good enough to win it again this time.
