summer set

I would like to see McCreary win, and think they have a good chance of winning, but I believe Lincoln will pull it out in a close one.

Unfortunately (especially for a high school team) one way to tell that your team is successful is by the criticism shown by a few people. Somerset had about a .500 year last year with about the same or easier schedule. This year they have played 3 teams that are, or have been ranked in the top 20 statewide, win against Owensboro, losing by 7 to Dunbar, and losing by 19 to Corbin. The majority of their other games are within the 12th region which have to be played, whether the teams are good or bad. Nearly all the 12th region teams are competitive however. This years team has matured and is winning the close games, games they would have lost last year. They have the All 'A' tournament, Lincoln, McCreary, Boyle Co., the district and regional remaining, their schedule is definitely not too easy.

Ten wins in a row for Somerset. Tyler Bourne had a big shooting night and Somerset played excellent team defense in the second half. West had a two point lead at halftime and slowed the game down for the second half, but Somerset made the shots they needed while limiting West Jessamine's points with solid defense.

I have seen McCreary Co. Lincoln Co. and Somerset play, last year, and this year. Lincoln is a good team as is McCreary and Somerset, I guess we will find out, as all three teams will play each other before the regional tournament.

I believe McCreary Co. can hang with Lincoln in an up and down game and also Somerset, in fact I think it would be to Somerset's advantage.

Lincoln does have some quality wins, but from what I have seen from them they look very beatable within the region.

Physical, hard fought game on both sides. Somerset won the game by out rebounding Rockcastle.

Low scoring, due to Pulaski's style of play, which was working for 3 quarters. Good defense by Pulaski kept the game close throughout, but Somerset played better, more aggresive defense the final quarter that allowed them to win.

I will go with Somerset 60-55. Pulaski is playing better as of late and they usually play Somerset close. If Somerset plays as they have been for the last few games they hopefully will win by more.
