Oh, I forgot to give my pick ... 70-57.

Stop teasing now . . . and the winner is?

South by at least 10

Who cares if Hammonds wanted to go to Corbin last year. He didn't .... That has no bearing at all on predictions for this game.

 

I know this. I'm just saying that even though he has a lot of his good friends on the Corbin team, he doesn't take prisoners and brings it every time the two teams meet up. When these two teams play, he is an assassin. Gotta like that in a player.

The last game Corbin got South on a Tuesday night after they had played on Friday & Saturday with one of those games going to overtime. I pick South by 15 to 18 this time. However if the two play at Corbin in the region Corbin wins.

Well, considering Tony is my neighbor along with his parents and everyone else that is a part of Big Red Nation ... I'm going with ... whoever wants the game the most.

I do expect to see both teams play each other in the regional finals.

South Laurel 72-66

That may or may not depend on which side of the bracket Bell Co is in. It will be a big advantage to Corbin playing in Gillum Gym. It may be a big enough advantage to beat Bell Co but I don't know about South.

that's just my opinion.

South by 8. They are still the better team playing at home. It could be differant if they play next week.

Too much water has to go under the bridge for both teams to be concerned with playing in the regional finals. Corbin is the team with no pressure on them. These young pups have packed a nice bite so far, no need for them to worry. Friday night is a feel good game and nothing more. The regional tournament is shaping up to be a dandy. It seems like most of the teams playing the best are in the field. May the best team win. Bell County is in the same boat as Corbin, they are the ones looking up to South, but not very far. If the brackets draw out accordingly, Bell and South should play in the finals. Strange things seem to happen and really there will be no upsets unless South does not take the crown back to London this season.

I think this will be a great game, with the experience of South probably prevailing in a tight one 68-66.

This game is important in that the winner avoids playing Bell Co in the opening round.

Well one of them will have to play in the same bracket as Bell regardless. I am sure Bell hopes they get the Hounds in their side of things. All teams will have to tighten their belts and play regardless.....teams like Pineville, Cumberland etc are very dangerous, so no cakewalks for anyone. Play 3 solid games and take home the prize.

Cumberland showed a couple of years ago that you can't overlook anyone.
