Typical Clark County statement. But go ahead, continue to doubt Mason or even Shelby Valley for that matter. GRC beat Ballard and Mason beat GRC, so Ballard or Scott County winning this tourney is in no way a foregone conclusion. Are they the favorites? Yes, without a doubt. But I guarantee you one thing. The runner-up, regardless of whom it may be, will not be leaving this trophy in the locker room. The real championship will still be played on saturday night, as usual.

 

Typical Mason Co response.

 

 

I am expecting a close game. I think Mason will control the tempo and continue to play solid defense. These two things will give them a chance to win down stretch. It seems someone new steps up for them in every big game and they will need it again this morning.[/QUOTE]

 

I agree, having a new player step up every game and great solid defense has allowed Mason Co to advance. Believe this game will come down to who wants it the most and makes the big play in the end.

I'm hoping for a close game with the victory going to the Rupp Arena, excuse me, Mason County Royals! haha. IMO it'll be interesting to see how Bluford and Setty come back in this game, considering their PT in last night's game...

:lol:Ok. I'd say every other 80% of the members on this board not Mason or Shelby Valley fans will agree with me.

I think Shelby Valley by 15 plus.

Shelby Valley by 13.

I agree with you...However that's not the way it works. One of these teams will get the chance of a lifetime.

Sure they do, and it'll be an experience they will never forget. :thumb:

 

I just don't think they'll have much a chance in the game, but stranger things have happened.

Yes, in the strictest literal sense, that is not the way it works. It plays out in reality sometimes. In 2005 I think it's fair to say the real championship was in the morning when South Laurel edged PRP. Warren Central didn't put up near the fight PRP did. If Shelby Valley or Mason County gets within 5 or pushes Ballard down the stretch late, then we'll talk. I do not feel that either is the threat Scott County was.

I agree with you. No knock on Mason or Shelby Valley, just that the upper bracket was much stronger than the lower bracket.

I don't think Mason County has a chance. I'll take Shelby Valley by at least 8. I have seen every game so far so I guess we'll see how well I can predict what I see.
