Who wins and why?

Corbin by 12 or more, they have way to much depth for KC, Miller is a real deal, not sold on the rest of his running mates. The Hounds should roll in the 13th.

Miller is solid, no doubt, ... but KC lost a lot of talent from last year. I think Corbin is very deep this season and should be the favorite in the 13th.

Miller is no doubt the real deal as is the freshman Broughton. He will be a player to keep an eye out on in the future and even this season. Messer is also prone to give Corbin fits with his awkward yet effective shot. I imagine Josh Brown and Seth Bingham round out the other key players as well as Canady. I think Crawford and Manns should be able to have their way in the post. Johnson and Smith will go tit for tat with Messer and Miller as usual. The big key will be Wilson at the point against Broughton and Canady. I think his experience and quickness will prove to be too much.

 

Corbin's depth should allow them to pull away around the 3rd quarter. If this were a regular game, I'd say Corbin would walk but being the rivalry it is, you can bet the farm the Panthers will make it interesting. If I were guessing the Hounds should pull out a 14-17 point win which i'd say 5 or 6 points could be free throws at the end (Hounds HAVE TO HIT THEM). However, if the Panthers get into early foul trouble, look out. It could get ugly quick.

I expect a close game. Corbin 68 Knox Central 62
