Wow! What a game, all the hype leading up to this game did not disappoint in this one. Tied at 52 with 4 seconds to play, Perry has the ball, Knott plays great defense and forces a 5 second count(a rather fast 5 count some would say) to get the ball back, throw it in to Davis, he drives to the basket and hits the shot, but it gets waved off due to an offensive foul from a push off on the shot, forces overtime. Chris Noble took over in the OT and scored all 9 of the Commodores points, Knott could not hit a shot and only score 2 in the OT, heck of a game. They play again on Feb 12 at Knott, can't wait to watch the 2nd matchup between these 2 teams. Best 2 in the 14th by far. :popcorn:

 

Knott Co. Central 9 13 18 12 2 54

Perry Co. Central 10 8 18 16 9 61

 

Knott Co. Central (15-5) -- Stamper 20, Cox 15, Roberts 4, Bartrum 2, Davis 7, Slone 6.

Perry Co. Central (13-6) -- Amis 11, Noble 19, Martin 14, Cornett 17.

Hatcher just out coached the oldman.

Yea maybe the best 2 as of now. But we will see later who is the real deal. Seemed like a pretty good game.

These are the two best teams in the 14th Region. More than likely one of them will play in Rupp in March.

 

But there's no guarantee that either team will make it. Hazard is starting to play a lot better and looked pretty good at the All A, better than they have looked earlier this year. And the region is played at Breathitt County this year, and offensively Breathitt is as good as anyone in the region. Buckhorn has played Perry and Hazard close games this year, so they're a team that could knock off either Knott or Perry on a given night.

Agreed, I see Knott being the best talented team but seems like PCC matches up to Knott extremely well and Knott can't return the favor.

I think the difference maker is Perry Central has a bigger front court than Knott Central. Those offensive put backs can be a killer in a close tournament game. Perry probably has a slight edge because of that one reason.

PCC and KCC are the top two teams in the region. However I look for PCC to win the region. but the draw in the district tournament will have a big effect on who is in the region, PCC Buckhorn and Hazard are all very good and two of these teams will play in the first round of the district.
