lot of light on these teams and their movement up the ladder

 

3. Elliott County Vs. Ashland—Late season match up will be sizzling

 

4. EKC Tournament—Early appetizer for 16th lovers could have super final

 

5. Russell Vs. Ashland—Proximity like Duke and N.Carolina will have place thumping.

 

 

Season’s biggest rival games (In no particular order)

 

3. Russell Vs. Greenup—Big Crowd, great atmosphere…H.S. basketball at it’s best.

 

4. Boyd Co. Vs. Ashland—This traditional battle is always large.

 

5. East Carter Vs. West Carter—The County divides on these nights.

 

6. Russell Vs. Ashland—Equivalent to Duke/North Carolina in terms of proximity and atmosphere.

 

 

Upset Minded (Look for these schools to pull multiple upsets within the region)

 

3. East Carter—Teams don’t go to Grayson and whip the Raiders, look for the Raiders to pull a shocker

 

4. Lewis Co—In the last week of February, first week of March….the Lions always roar near tournament time.

 

5. Raceland—Have a feeling the Rams will win games on the last possession, look for some nail biters and heroic endings possible in big Orange country
