Heck of a job by Coach Matt Ratliff and his staff in this game. They kept the boys focused and playing hard despite a frigid shooting night. The defensive/offensive switches (with 2, 11 and 22, 23) down the stretch were instrumental in allowing that tremendous comeback. It was also pleasing to see big number 34 out there banging and shooting with that feathery touch of his in the JV game. Having that hoss back in top form for district will be a big help to this squad. Very proud to be a Paintsville Tiger after that showing of fortitude by players and coaches alike. Sometimes the scoreboard doesn't tell the story. As always, Go Tigers!

With a lot of very hard work and a little luck these guys may be the "comeback kids" of a sort. After a loss and few wins? It may be a matter of output and direction. The chemistry of the whole situation maybe becoming less clouded. When your fans begin to believe then the players do likewise. The great wedge may not be quite so tight.
