North Laurel, I believe around 7-7:15. You coming?

Jim - I guess you may have not been around long enough to know that ANYTHING can happen AT Clay County. I agree that SL is the favorite, but a loss in the 13th region tournament would not shock me at all. Over the past several seasons I've seen several SL teams that were "heads and shoulders" above the rest lose in the district or regional tournaments, and that was back in the 12th region days. SL is the favorite, but anything can happen.

No, Finals are at North Laurel this year. They were at SL last year.

Sounds like KC might be one of the teams to watch for in a few years.

IMO, outside of the newcombers, there aren't many 13th Region teams that play (or are able to play) the trapping, full court game effectively. I admit that I've only seen a few 13th Region teams so far, but, from what I've seen, outside of NL & SL, I've not seen much quickness yet. I look forward to seeing Harlan, I understand that they have good guard play.

Actually it has been judged as the toughest in the state. They'll play the regining State Champion at least twice (maybe 4 x), the best team in the state (Scott County @ Scott) in the Toyota Classic, 5/3 Classic, Bryan Station, etc.). I'd like to know what Coach Brown was thinking when he left NL with this schedule. :confused:

I'm sorry, but I find that comment downright laughable. For the record...SL kept their starters in the entire game agianst NL, they called off the dogs in the 3rd against Corbin. Corbin will struggle against better (or quicker) competition until they get better guard play.

1. SL 2. NL 3. Harlan 4. Barbourville 5. Clay County

I think they have the potential to repeat, but like last season, to do so, everything must fall in place. Who are the "All Star" players that SL picked up?

No doubt Burke is a good QB, but I believe that Johnson was the state's best player this season. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

If SL's O-Line can keep their young QB protected, I think they might be able to hang around with HC, and possibly pull off the upset. If they can't, it might be a long night for them. On another note, I watched SL beat Lafayette last Friday night, and was impressed with the play of SL's young RB, Cody Quinn. He appeared to hit the hole hard, and looked fairly quick. Look for him to be a force for SL in the future. I wonder where he was earlier in the season, I don't remember him playing much offense early on. Good Luck to the Cards. Pull off the upset!

I guess this is why some regions "trade" officials. I don't think that there is anything to this, but obviously one person does.
