Two longtime football rivals take it to the hard court Friday night at MSU! They split the two regular season games. Both were hard fought close contests. Mayfield has been strong most of the year. PTHS has been somewhat inconsistent, a problem in recent years, but they can play with anybody in the 1st Region. Who wins and why?

I usually go with the more traditional power in a matchup like this, but I'm taking Mayfield by 3.

I've said this a few times this year but it depends on which Mayfield team shows up. With PT beating them once I think they will be focused and win this one. It also depends on how the game is called. The 3rd region officials so far have let them the teams play very physical.

Headed to overtime tied at 68 a piece.

Tilghman did something they haven't done in quite some time, played fairly well in the 2nd half. That was their kryptonite this season.

 

In the end though, it wasn't enough as Mayfield prevails in overtime 82-74.
