It is my understanding that LCC has the core of their players back from last year, and these players have been playing together for several years. I haven't seen them this year, as the season has just started, but if the big guy inside will play to his potential, they will be competitive with anyone in the mountains, and could beat anyone locally.

I haven't seen the new additions of East Ridge, but all the talk is that they are "World Beaters" (time will tell on this). If the new additions are as good as being advertised, East Ridge should be very good.

The major difference between the two teams is ER players (which includes the two new starters) have just been together as a team for a few months, while LCC have played together for several years.

Will the home court be enough? You never know.

I will say:
LCC 62
ER 57
