I am going with Valley in a double-digit win. I think Bardstown folds under the 1/2 court pressure.

Your right Goldie, sorry about the plug. What time is the ALL-A Final?

Finding a new bandwagon.

I predicted this yesterday after watching both teams play. I ask the Elliott faithful to show me a quality win and they rattled off out-of-state teams that I (we) didn't know much about. Shelby Valley is solid, they let off of the gas and missed a ton of FT's or this could have been a 20 point loss. Good group of boys on Elliott, however they seem to have been playing average or less than average teams. I still believe that Holmes and Scott County are on another level, and either one will end up with the championship.

SV 55 Elliott 52 Final

SV 49 Elliott 37 after 3q.

SV 36 Elliott 23 at the half.

SV 16 EC 7 1Q.

You are exactly right. I don't know anything about those teams. Beat someone I can relate to. Start with Shelby Valley, and I will mention Elliot in the same breath with Holmes and Scott County.

It is not uncommon for an NCC game to be low scoring. They will work the ball and slow the scoring down. The more time off the clock, the less scoring, you get the picture. I am not an Elliott County fan, only because I don't think they have a quality win that I can relate to. If they win on Sunday, that would be a start.

I believe that Mrs. Conner is on the road to recovery. She is not quite 100 %, I know she did not attend either game at Richmond.

I think Valley's size will be to much for Elliott. I look for Valley to slow the game down and work it in the paint. Valley also looks to be much deeper on the bench.

From all the games I watched in the All-A this weekend, I think Shelby Vally wins this.

Shelby Valley has a really good team. They are the tallest team I have seen play this year. NCC got into foul trouble and had a little trouble with the half court trap. The 2 little guys up front for SV really hustle. This was also the worst officiated game I have seen this year as well. I thought we had some under-parr officials in the 9th, I will gladly keep all of them. Good luck to SV on Sunday.

I can't believe LCA came back and won. Great showing Breds, a couple FT's and you would be playing on Sunday.

I voted for Cooper, this is Cooper Yeshiva High School. They play some good ball in Memphis.

Go Breds!!!!!!!

3 hours between games on Sunday. This will make it tough for Elliott, I mean the team coming from the bottom bracket. I hope they use the bench.

I know this blog is on Holmes (great team this year, good chance to run the table.) I don't ever offer excuses for a teams loss, but since you mentioned the Football legs. NCC lost a key player to a broken arm the 1st game of the season, had no big men(football, injuries) against Boone, Senior retreat Fri/Sat/Sun, when they lost to Dixie on Monday. Newport had a 20 point lead, only to win on a hail mary. The 3 losses Lex Cath, Trinity, Madisonville, I see them winning if they had their missing starter. The kid is finally back, same kid that had 8 boards and 8 points in the Dawgs loss to NCC last year. I think the NCC/ Holmes game will be closer than you think, and I don't see Highlands beating NCC this year. Like you said, time will tell.

Eta, you don't give NCC enough credit. They beat your Birds on their home floor and even missed 19 freethrows and minus a key player. You picked against them in the All-A with St. Henry and Newport. They will give Holmes a good game, and if Highlands get by Newport in the district, they lose again to the Breds.

With a point spread like that, PRP is liable to be #1 in Cantrall's poll. (just kidding)
