This one is for all the marbles. St. Xavier is coming off a blowout win this morning over Grayson County while Clark had to earn it in an extremely physical contest against North Oldham. Got to think that plays a part.

🏆KHSAA State Championship🏆 

Saint Xavier 🟢🟡 (29-7)
vs.
George Rogers Clark 🔴 (32-4) 

🗞️ | The 'X-Men' versus 'Win City' for the state's highest hardwood honor…. Can Saint Xavier take advantage of having more recovery time and GRC’s semifinal dogfight to capture its first state basketball title in 64 years?

What do the Cardinals have left in the tank? This would be GRC’s second crown in the last four years.

Tip-off: Tonight at 7:30pm

I like X but GRC has a very nice team. 

I think X has the advantage even if the circumstances were equal. I don’t believe the circumstances are equal though with GRC having played the later and much tighter semifinal. X by double digits.

So obviously it would be cool to see X win their first title since 1962 but if GRC wins, how many times has the same school won both boys and girls basketball titles in the same year?

I agree, if I played for X I would be taking a nap with a full belly right now.

When I saw the bracket this is the matchup I wanted.  Can’t wait to see X #0 vs GRC #3 and X #4 vs GRC #12 matchups.  Everybody knows the stars but these two matchups will be key, in my opinion.  I believe St X is more talented.  I believe the late games and tired legs finally get to GRC.  I also think it’s a defensive game and slower pace of play, which will keep GRC in it going into the 4th quarter.  Give me St X 55 GRC 47.  Should be a good old good one!

Should be a good one. As others mentioned, with GRC playing the later game and having a much more physical game. It could have an impact on the result. I will go with St. X by 9.

I think someone said on the KHSAA broadcast that Ashland in 1928 was the only one.

I’d think it’s not the advantage that most think.

These kids now play AAU and play multiple games on back to back days. They are better conditioned than “back in the day”

I’m sure someone has the breakdowns of early vs late semifinal winners winning in the finals?
