If both teams come to play, it should be a good game, if one team comes to play and the other team doesn't, it's gonna be a bad night for someone.

 

Cordia has won 7 straight and 8 of their last 10....Estill County has won 8 straight and 19 of their last 20

All of the common opponents are pretty similar except for Wolfe and Letcher Central.

Estill has been to the region semifinals five times since they moved to the 14th but they've never been able to clear that hurdle. In those five losses they've scored 29, 39, 41, 27, and 30 points. Offense has often been their regional bugaboo. Will Cordia be able to shut down the Engineers?
