I think that Ballard is too quick and athletic for Shelby Valley, but it should be a good game.

Everyone tough like this that Valley has played all year people have said they are "too athletic for Valley", but somehow these boys have kept it close or won.

I think they will keep it close but they may have some problems with Ballard's athleticism. This should be a great championship game.

Good Luck Valley..

From the results of the previous 3 games, Ballard will have some problems with Elisha Justice.

I agree. Hicks put up 30 on Ballard, and if Justice does too they have a good shot at winning.

If for some reason you are a Shelby Valley fan and still in Pike Co., stop sitting there and get your butt down here. Should be a great one.

Thank you Shelby Valley! Your team can be offered up to our local youth, what a small mountain school can accomplish. Best of luck in the KY HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!

Matt Jones just gave this game some love on KSR.

Jones also thinks Calipari should look at getting Elisha to come to UK. I like his thinking. I know Cal doesn't like walk-ons, but Elisha is a **** good player, a better person, and wants to be a coach.

**NYY10** · 03-20-2010, 03:01 PM

I'm down here. It's great. Valley and ej are rocking. I'm at the olive garden if anybody wants to meet up

**NYY10** · 03-20-2010, 03:04 PM

As for a prediction. If valley can continue to stay hot they could very well be state champs. Gaw I hope so. It's awesome down here. You all come down

caseyprice · 03-20-2010, 03:07 PM

I have to pick Valley. But reguardless of who wins I will have fun shooting the game tonight.

**PaintsvilleTigerfan** · 03-20-2010, 03:13 PM

Valley by 15 they are gonna be ready to go. We all want this bad make us proud.

itzAmazing · 03-20-2010, 03:18 PM

Many people will say that Valley is tired and that is why they will lose. The fact that they played and won this morning means that they will be loose already. They will come out ready to play and pull this game out.

On the same page he made the comment Wake Forrest will try to run the UK Wildcats out of the gym, ha ha, good luck with that, people think the little guard, I think his name is Smith, is faster than John Wall. Back to the thread, I have to pick SV and EJ and this tremendous team of ambassadors from the EKY mountains to win this game. They will be tired but so pepped up it can lead them to victory, just stay within your game and play like you can with all of your heart and you will bring the trophy home!! Go Wildcats, UK & SV!!

**TheRealVille** · 03-20-2010, 03:53 PM

I can see SV winning this, along with EJ getting Mr. Basketball. They are on a roll.

dawgbyte02 · 03-20-2010, 03:54 PM

Good luck to the SV wildcats from Lawrence. If they continue to play like the Mason County game Ballard will be the 2010 state runner up.

**RavenBoy** · 03-20-2010, 04:07 PM

Ballard by 15! Too Fast, Strong, Taller, Smarter and Better looking team than SV!
Cal shouldnt go after EJ, I like what he is doing now. John Wall and Brandon Knight I think is just a little, maybe a tad better.

no way if they win they win by that much,i hope they prove me wrong,this will be there toughest game all year..

lildrummerboy · 03-20-2010, 04:08 PM

Where's all the Valley fans they have had a lousy crowd this year pike co has 70,000 folks in it. I thought they would pack the place.

Nobody said Elisha was going to UK to be a starter. But in all honesty I think Elisha is a better player than Hood or Krebs.

bulldog149 · 03-20-2010, 04:22 PM

I pick Ballard however I hope Shelby Valley wins and if they play as good as they did against Mason Co. they have a shot at it,maybe a good shot at it.

**outdoorsman43** · 03-20-2010, 04:49 PM

I really don't know. It's a tossup in my opinion. I want to say Ballard is the more athletic and faster team, but the boys from Shelby Valley always seem to get it done when it matters. I picked them to make it to the championship game and it doesn't surprise me one bit that they actually made it. What a story it would be to see Shelby Valley bring a state title back to the Mountains. It would be so great for Pike County and all of Shelby Valley's fans.

I believe they can get it done tonight and I know they will leave it all on the floor.

What a great group of seniors that the Wildcats have. Justice is a big reason that they're in this position, but it's all these seniors that have played together since they were young kids. They love the game and have put countless time into what they're about to play for tonight.

Good luck Shelby Valley! Make the Mountains proud!

100 percent agree

**PC_You_Know** · 03-20-2010, 04:57 PM

From reading the comments section on KSR it seems that the haters from BGR have carried over to bash Elisha on KSR.
