Final from Elizabethtown.

I know Nelson Co has struggled, but Holmes press must've killed them. i'd say they couldn't get the ball up the court, like Newport couldn't. Get the ball up the

court and get in a half court game with the Bulldogs, you gotta a good chance, if not, this is what happens.

Nice to get a win in E-Town, Holmes travels to Campbellsville next Wed, Thursday and Friday, they have a very tuff match up the first game Wed to tip off the tournement against Doss.
