Championship in the Lloyd Invitational tonight out at Lloyd, 8:00.

 

Holmes comes in 10-1 after a tough win against Conner.

 

Henderson Co. comes in 11-1 after a win over Bullitt East.

 

Thoughts?

Right now, I don't think anyone is quite on Holmes' level, but this is a superb Henderson County team. A lot of people were saying the Holmes - Seneca game was the "championship", but they might think otherwise after they see Henderson County... Very fast, aggressive, athletic...fun team to watch.

Match ups:

 

6'0 Riley v 5'8 Gregory

6'2 D. Johnson v 6'0 Hairlson

6'4 J. Johnson v 6'0 B. Stone

6'5 R. Johnson v 6'1 Childress

6'7 Pittman v 6'4 Floyd

After talking to several people who have seen both play, I think Holmes wins this one by 15+. HC lacks height which has hurt any team against Holmes because of their long, athletic players. I'd expect Pittman to get back on track and dominate in this game, having such a huge advantage down low.

A really good team like Holmes rarely plays two sub-par games in a row. That should spell trouble for the Colonels. I'll take the Doggies by 16.

Holmes dominates HC.
