In my opinion, other than Gilbert, no player is more important to Scott County than Tony Martini.
I'm going with the Cardinals.
This one should be a great game.
Cov Cath plays beyond hard and they'll be able to control the tempo.
Scott Co and Gilbert, mainly Gilbert, will want to score a lot of points and they can.
I really like Covington Catholic to win this game, 65-63.
Sounds like a great match up.
Pulp Fiction is supporting Scott County.
Scott Co wins..when was the last time a team won a state title in both football and basketball in the same year? I think Trinity but not for sure.
Covington Catholic beat clay county so I'm going with Cov Cath.
Covington Catholic 78
Scott County 64
I think CovCath has a better chance than most are giving them, but I also think Scott County is going to get big performances down low in Long and Martini. If CovCath's bigs or Ruthsatz gets in foul trouble, then Scott County wins
THOMCAT is for Scott County.
Scott County positive: They beat us and a win only reinforces how good we really were.
Scott County negative: They recruit. But then again don't we all. They just recruit better.
Cov Cath negative: For me, it's a football thing.
Cov Cath positive: I'm still thinking.

I like this a lot. I'll support the Colonels and the 9th in a nail biter. cch by 3, however, if they allow SC bigs to control the paint. SC could win by as much as 14. It's all about establishing control of the paint in this battle!
Got this one right or lucky :betterthanexpected:
