I understand that Hazard wants it. All that I was saying is that Pikeville wants it just as bad. They havn't won since 1992 (i believe) and feel that they have something to prove after finishing runner-up this past seaon. IMO, saying that a team wants it more than anyone in the region is an overstatement. Pikeville's guys have experience too:

Castle -- 4th year in top 5
Bell -- 3rd
Hall -- 2nd -- with a tourney or two in 2003
Newsome and Castle switched in and out this past season both playing in a couple of tourneys.

Another thing that I believe helps Pikeville is the schedule that they play. They schedule 8-9 tournaments across the state before they play in region. IMO playing the competition that they play (top teams in the state almost every week) and all of the different courses that they play, only makes them better as the year progresses.

Hazard should have a strong team, don't get me wrong, but just to say that they will win it all because they want it more doesn't fly with me. Everyone wants it :thumb:
