[LeftHanded]

Do I root for the TVC or do I root for the underdog story?

Well, Would Athens be pulling for you?

Boy, That's a good question. I don't know what that answer would be

[3sUp]

I love a good underdog, let’s go New Lex

[JC2124]

I’m pulling for Athens but I have a feeling New Lex is gonna win. I hope I’m wrong, just a gut feeling.

New Lex can be tough.

[6-4-3=2o]

New Lex absolutely controlled this game from about the end of the 1st qtr on. Their 1-3-1 gave Sheridan trouble all night, and the two New Lex guards (#4, and #0) did a great job of handling full court, aggressive man pressure by the Generals. Add in the true post man (who didn't have the best of hands, but did enough to be effective down low), and they had/have the weapons to get it done. Dogs need to limit #4, he is definitely their leader.

They have a few Ratliff’s on that team?

[6-4-3=2o]

Yes, #4 is a Ratliff. There's one more, but don't think he saw the floor last night.

I know had 2-3 on football team and one of them is an absolute track stud. Figured that name was in the mix

Not sure if Sheridan had seen the 1-3-1 from New Lex in the previous 2 match ups this year. If not, it was a bold & wise move by Panthers Coach.

Definitely could be right on that. I know when we played them (2nd game of year, which I know is a lifetime ago), they played excusively man. Part of that is we were up early and maintained the lead throughout.

New Lexington is playing great basketball at the right time and have absolutely nothing to lose since most didn't think they'd be here. I think Cinderella can steal one here and reach the Convo

New Lex 45
Athens 40

athens by 25+Nate trainor is gonna lock down. He can make a large on both sides with his athletic ability.
