The Scott Eagles (19-7) journey to Ft. Thomas to take the Highlands Bluebirds (18-6) in Ft. Thomas. Both Highlands and Scott are ranked #3 in their regions and also #3 and #4, respectively, in the NKY Coaches Poll. Thoughts and Predictions?

I really like Scott's chances in this game..

 

Eagles get the 20th win on there season..

 

Scott by six

I think this one will be a close one but I think Scott, overall, might be better. They have good inside play with one of the best PGs in the NKY in Kellen Smith. I'll take Scott in a thriller.

 

Scott 69

Highlands 67

I see Highlands getting the W in this one. They're VERY tough at home...just ask Boone. Key for the Birds will be to get Grote and Kowolonek going early. Inside, I think Watson, Dill, and Grubbs can give Gligorevic and O'Conner problems because of their physical play.

 

Highlands 64

Scott 61

I agree with Eta Roh, the Birds will prevail at home but it wont be easy. I like Scott in the 10th to make some noise. They are a dangerous team.

 

Birds 57

Scott 55

I look for an intense basketball game. Both teams are in the postseason grind it out mentality. They are both going to d-up and make you do things out of your character. If Scott rebounds the basketball on the defensive end they have the chance to pull the upset as that will allow them to push tempo. Like Highlands because of home court.....but would not be shocked to see Scott pull out a win.

I see Scott winning by 2.

 

Should be a good one to see.

Scott with a W

Scott by 13.

Highlands by 5 :thumb:

This will be a fun game to watch. These are two young teams with not a lot of seniors. I like Scott in a very close game.

I think Scott wins by 5 and that is because of the guard play for the Eagles. I don't think the guards from Highlands can handle Smith and Murray not to mention Niederegger and if Jones plays coming off the bench. This is one of the best Scott teams they have had in a while barring the one 2 years ago. I dont think Scott gets stopped as they are on a mission to do big things. I like the Eagles by 5-8 and Kellen Smith having a huge game. Wouldn't be surprised to see Kola and Daniel have big nights either because they are better ball players than the Highlands big but they are physical and so is Kola, just ask SK. Go Eagles!!! Get 20!

This will be a fun game to watch. These are two young teams with not a lot of seniors. I like Scott in a very close game.

 

Ii wouldn't say Scott is young as they start several seniors in their lineup along the lines of Murray, Gligoravich, O'Connorn and I'm sure I'm forgetting some more that aren't coming to mind.

I like Highlands in this one because I don't think anyone is going to be able to stop Grote or Kowolonek. On the other side I don't know if Highlands will be able to stop Smith. The bigs for both teams will be a good battle all night.

I'll take Scott by 8.
