Adair County vs North Hardin Predictions/Updates (5th Region Semifinals)

[ACfan4]

This should be a good one. These teams have not met this year and are both hungry to be back in a regional final. Adair last made one in 2017 losing in what most would call an upset to Taylor County by 1 point. North Hardin has not made the regional finals since 2013 where they lost to John Hardin. Adair is led by the junior duo of 6'7 Isaiah Cochran and 6'0 point guard Connor Loy. Loy had 31 and Cochran 18 in the first round vs Washington. North Hardin is led by the senior guard duo of Shaun Boykins and Taveon Smith both averaging around 17-18 ppg. North Hardin is going to want this to be fast paced and to force turnovers. Adair can do a little of both they average 72 ppg for the season, like to run in transition, but also do not mind slowing it up and running 45 seconds off the clock on offense. The team who controls the pace in this one will win to me. If it gets to 70's it favors North Hardin, if it's in the 50's and 60's it favors Adair.
