You can't expect Magoffin County to get thre respect you want them to have until they earn it. I truly believe they are a much improved and very competitive team this year. But they still have to prove it.

Getting beat by Cumberland is a setback for the Hornets. Even though Cumberland has also improved a lot over last season, that is still a team Magoffin County should beat.

The Hornets simply didn't play well. They struggled the entire game. It looked like they played scared on offense. Their defense was pretty good until late in the second half. They seemed to break down inside and give up some easy baskets.

They played their best against Leslie County. They haven't played that well since then - not even against Betsy Layne.

But I believe the Hornets will get back on track and go a long way to earning the respect they deserve.
