Final from Lee County. 
 

Hazard advances to the 14th Region All “A” Classic championship game and now await the Owsley/Breathitt winner. 

Championship game is Saturday at 3:00 PM between Hazard and Breathitt County. 
Hazard has only one loss this season, to a team in a southern holiday tournament by 2 points and are now 16-1. They haven’t lost in Kentucky. The Bulldogs have one of their best teams ever imo and I remember some pretty great Hazard teams in my lifetime, as far back as the early 1960s. I was too young when their Johnny Cox (UK ncaa championship team ‘58) led team won the state tournament in ‘55 but I remember the highly rated Jim Rose (WKU & Final Four) led teams of the mid ‘60s. This team may not have a D1 star like those did but they are loaded with talent, particularly  6’4 Evin Eversole who is muscular, thick built in the upper body, and just flat knows how to score, rebound and win. 
Massey doesn’t have them rated in the top 25 of the state but that is not correct to my thinking. However, they haven’t played out in the state very much this year to get a better judgement but do have wins over Ashland and Madison Central. They are a well balanced and efficient team and well coached by Al Holland (10 regional titles at three schools).
