Both teams can add a little bit to their "credibility" with a win tonight. The winner of this game will advance to the title game and a likely matchup with undefeated McCracken County. Both teams are riding small winning streaks; Iroquois has won five in a row; South has won three straight.

gchs_uk9 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Saw Iroquois/Garrard yesterday but left before the South Oldham game (their margin was expected). Iroquois has a couple of nice players in Williamson (23) and Ford (3). I don't know that Iroquois handles the ball exceptionally, but can South Oldham apply enough pressure for that to matter? On offense, Garrard had a lot of good looks early and just couldn't make anything. South Oldham probably shoots it better. Will Iroquois try to extend pressure defense to disrupt the Dragons' shooting? I think this should be a very good ballgame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
