Final

Wow... District 8 reign is over

The 8th and 14th had each represented since 2002 - the 8th blinked first. Madisonville is very good, no shame in it.

MNH hasn't lost in calendar 2019. 22 straight wins now, and they avenge their only in-region loss all season - a 1-pointer on the road at UHA.

Wow. Just wow.

A heartbreaking night for BlazerNation in Madisonville.

 

After our blowout win on Friday against Caldwell, we could not get up for the game Saturday. Madisonville was HUNGRY after that loss earlier in the year. They used it as fuel all year and came out ready to ball.

 

Size and depth were issues to start the year, and they undid us on Saturday. The box score tells the story. The Big 3 all scored double digits, but that was basically all the production. 2 of those 3 guys had 4 fouls by the end. The game was allowed to be physical, and Madisonville's size just was too much.

 

Beshear put on a coaching clinic and really ran circles around the Blazer staff. I know he really felt slighted about not getting Coach of the Year, and he proved his worth over the guy that won it on Saturday.

 

Madisonville has a great team and will have some fun at Rupp. Scary part? They return pretty much their whole roster next season and this run at Rupp will be great experience as they make a run at a championship in 2020.
