Tips at about 8 PM (depending on how late the first game goes) could be 8:30 PM.

Ballard #1 team in KY...Gonna be tough for the Pats.

[Warthog]

Yeah but that is why they play the game

[Strikeout King]

I'll take Ballard by 15. 76-61

[PaintsvilleTigerfan]

Knott in an upset 65-64

[hitter]

Ballard by 12 unless the 14th or 15th region officials ref the game. Lol

[new guy]

Knott is going to have to play really well. Ballard is very good and can throw alot of players at a team.

[Warthog]

Ballard by 12 unless the 14th or 15th region officials ref the game. Lol

The only way Ballard wins by 12 is if the 6th or 7th officials ref.

[11thRegionHoops]

I think Knott has the guard play necessary to hang around for awhile in this game. I think Ballard by 12-14.

Knott keeps it close for 3 quarters. Ballard by 8

Knott Central can win this game, it will be an up hill battle and require a perfect game plan. If it were me, and to be honest, I've only seen Ballard from tonight I would go with the following.

1. Pack it in on D. Do your best to close out and contest threes, but try and prevent penetration and high percentage shots and try and limit Ballard on second chances by hitting the boards hard. No way we matchup man.

2. Control tempo. If Knott can lull Ballard into slow paced affair, even after some missed opportunities/turnovers, at worse maybe they can still within 6-10 points. Knott hasn't had too much trouble out of full court pressure defense but they haven't seen D like Ballard, hopefully they pick their spots to score and slow it down when they can.

3. If Ballard is going to give Justice room, you got to take it. If there was any time Knott is for sure going to need Justice to just unload its tomorrow.

4. Can't come out slow again. Hopefully with whatever scheme Ballard goes with someone will get some looks and hit them. Johnson Central hung with Ballard for a half, hopefully Knott can take them the distance.

Either way, can give up. Lets go pats!

[SPORTS FAN 101]

Ballard by 7, 64 to 57. Good game to end, Ballard makes free throws to close out game.

[Fly Like a Duck]

Dunk Ball.

Advantage, Ballard.

If I'm Knott County Central, I'm trying my best to let this game be a final of 20 something to 20 something.

[hop24]

Bruins by 20

[Warthog]

I'd like to see Justice drop 50

[Fly Like a Duck]

If Ballard wins this game, the semi's will be (using the football classification system):

6A vs. 5A

5A vs. 6A

That, with last years champion being one of the big, private, green monsters of Louisville who also happen to be a 6A school.

The tide is a changing boys, the tide is changing.
