Holmes enters the 9th regional tournament winners of 10 in a row vs Dixie who is 4-6 in their last 10 but gave Holmes a physical battle a few weeks back in Crestview Hills. Can Dixie repeat that effort or will Holmes try to make a statement in the beginning of their quest for back to back state titles?

This is Holmes's time of the year. They tend to play to their ability and I think that trend will not change this year. I look for them to make a statement in this game, with Pittman and Rico leading the way. Ill take Holmes by 20.

Dixie will be reminded that the first game was a fluke.

Close game in the regular season will be a distant memory after this game. I'd be shocked to see this game closer than 15 and that may be conservative.

Holmes by 19

I expect a close game.

Dixie will be ready for this game. If Hatton has a great night shooting and Pike can pull boards, Expect this game to be a grudge match until the final buzzer

Rule 13

Brandon Hatton will need to hold Ricardo to under 10 points in order for the Colonels to win this game. Also Pike needs to be bigger than big this game. He needs to contain Pittman in the paint. He also needs to stay out of fould trouble. The ONLY reason Dixie didnt pull the upset off on February 2nd is Pike only played about half to three fourths of the game at most. He was in foul trouble the whole game. This is going to shock some of you all but im going with the Colonels on this one. Hatton and Pike will have big games. Hatton will go for 15+ and Pike will go for 18+. I dont think the Dogs have been playing well as of late and I think them over looking the 8th seeded Colonels will bite them in the rear this game.

 

Good luck to both teams!

Dixie Heights Colonels - 67

Holmes Bulldogs - 62

Won't be close--No Holmes letdown or going through the motions this time.

 

Holmes--66

Dixie--47

I'll be surprised if Dixie gets more than 50 or holds Holmes under 60. Thus, I'd be surprised if the Dogs win by less than 12. I like surprises.

There is no way that Hatton or Pike can singlehandedly hold Ricardo and Elijah down. Too many other players over the last 2 years have been unable to. Why do you think that these two players are different?

Holmes 77

Dixie 57

Holmes 64

Dixie 40

 

It will be over early.

I like Holmes big say:

 

Holmes 62

Dixie 41

I am anxious to see if Holmes can speed the game up, or if Dixie slows it down to a half court game. Hatton seems to get a lot of his points in transition so if the pace is slowed, he may have to find another way. Oh, and Ricardo Johnson will probably be guarding him.

 

Pike is going to have to step up huge on the boards, and Dixie will need about 7 3's in order to upset Holmes, in my opinion.
