Final from Paris.

Wow, upset city!

There’s a video making the rounds of the losing team’s coach being interviewed prior to the start of the 10th Region All A games kicking off.  The interview is being conducted by media on FaceTime and the coach allows his son’s to comment to questions.  “no disrespect to the other teams, but I just think it’s gonna be a walk. ….. I don’t think anyone in our region can stop our guard play or how hard we play …”.   “We’re 100% winning the 10th Region All A, 100%”.
 

I think they call this bulletin board material?  

What started with such promise is quickly dissolving. Did anyone expect Bracken County to be 11-7, out of the All A, and looking at potentially finishing just above .500 based on a very difficult remaining schedule?

Man that 22 pt win at Paris for Scott without their 2 best players and 7 point loss at Bracken Co. looks a little better. Any given night.

I wonder how heated things got on the Bracken bus after this game.  To say those guys play with a passion would be a huge understatement.

Hubris in its purest form.

I thought this schedule was too much from the get go.  This team is small and a very short bench and they do play hard.

They really do get after it & the Reed boys are fun to watch.  But that short bench hurts more than the lack of size, in my opinion.  The loss of Commodore really hurts them.

100% winning.

Teams that can handle Bracken's pressure match up well with them.  So do teams with size.

Paris has the athleticism.  Unfortunately for the Polar Bears, the teams they have to compete with to win a Region (GRC, Mason, Campbell) have those things as well.
