I am looking forward to watching these 2 teams match up Friday night. Lebanion, Crawford, Storms, and Akins are playing well at the moment and should be able to give South a good game. Matt St. John, as always, is a huge threat and is also playing well. Any thoughts?

St. John and South will be to much for Whitley County.

I think that South is the favorite but Whitley has closed the gap more than people expected. The Cards only won by 6 in London, and this one will be in Williamsburg, I think it should be a great game.

 

St. John is a force in the middle and that is not news to anyone, but Whitley is developing several guys who are getting the job done. Storms has come a million miles from last year and Akins is improving, and is able to get to the basket.

 

SL will try on pound it in to St. John and Whitley will try and attack the basket, if they can keep from getting too many shots blocked, and when they do get one blocked continue to attack they could have a chance.

I don't know if Whitley is playing as good as they were earlier in the year, and I think South is playing better.

 

I'd say:

 

South 70

Whitley 54

Throw out the Williamsburg game, it was a rival game and the Colonels always get the "A" game from the Jackets. When you look at how they played against Pineville, Harlan County and Iriquois, they were playing very well, in fact they should have won the Iriquois game, except for two turnovers with under 30 seconds to play.

 

The Colonels have played tough schedule (in Florida) they have played the #1 team in Colorado, a top team from PA and a good team from WI, which has their record as less than stellar, but don't let all that fool you, they are getting better.

South Laurel 68-60.

Whitley is a much better team than in the past, but I don't see any answer for St. John, South wins 78 to 62.

If St Johns knee is not bothering him, Id say SL by 20, otherwise it could be much closer as SL is offensively challenged.

South by ten.

Whitley can win if they penetrate and pass, penetrating and shooting will result in a lot of blocked shots unless St. John is in foul trouble.

4CHS — I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen.
