I would like to point out that in the last three games that Elliott County has played some really good ball. A win over Greenup County 60-57. A loss to Russell 60-54. And tonight's win over West Carter 58-56. I'd just like to say "way to go Lions, you're peaking at the right time".

Final Ashland by 6.

Player Scoring Ashland: Villers 29 Hudson 13 Sellars 11 Atkins 6 Porter 6 Phillips 3 Rowan Co.: Moore 31 Alderman 10 Taylor 6 Davidson 4 Cox 4 Goodpaster 3 Gardner 2 Maxey 2

Final from Morehead.

Definitely a recipe for a loss.

Agreed, Ashland's not 100% but there are several players who can step up for them and take up the slack. I look forward to see how they play tonight.

Could go either way, but if Rowan County wins it will be by 5 or less. If Ashland wins it will be by 5 to 15. I'm going with Ashland by 10.

Congratulations Ashland Blazer, you're the last one standing!

I like your prediction better but I've tried to make a statistical prediction. But with rivalries and home court advantages, who knows.
