4:30 Today from Lexington Catholic Quarterfinal #1

Looking forward to watching this one as I feel it will be a very competitive game.

7 minutes until tipoff and watching both teams warm up I can't believe how small Cooper is. They are tiny. With that being said looking at their resume I know they have a very good team and I have tons of respect for the 9th region I'm still picking them here in a very close game that I feel goes down to the wire.

Looks like a heavyweight fight!

End of first quarter Cooper 18 Woodford County 18. Very fast paced entertaining quarter. Woodford County full court pressure is pretty effective in this one and I worry about it wearing down Cooper.

Hard to not think about how good Woodford County would be had Jasper Johnson not transferred with that being said they still a very good team and lead 27 to 22 2:45 to go in half.

Halftime Woodford County 30 Cooper 28 Jaiden Combs hits a three at buzzer for Cooper to cut it to 2.

I really like Santonio Waide for Woodford County he is quick with very nice handles, sees the floor and can shoot the 3. Very nice high school player. I talked about Cooper being small but with that being said they have the biggest player on the floor for both teams in 6'6 Shaun Pouncy he is doing a nice job inside for Cooper. 1:54 to go in third Woodford County leads 41 to 38.

End of third quarter Woodford County 43 Cooper 40. Just as I predicted very close competitive game.

2:00 remain in game. Tied at 55. One of the better games I've seen so far this year.

Three pointer for Cooper tied it at 58 but Waide was fouled with 2 seconds remaining and makes them both. Woodford County leads 60 to 58 with 2 seconds. Cooper ball must go length of the floor.

Cooper actually runs a nice play and got a good look at a 3 but it falls short. Final score Woodford County 60 Cooper 58.
