[Black Bear Cuz]

The top ranked team in the 13th region (Harlan County Black Bears) have hardly even been mentioned as a possible contender in this tourney. A total lack of respect for Harlan County Basketball, but I must admit that playing a generally weak schedule and having not won a regional tournament game in 4 years we have not earned the respect that we feel we deserve! 26-7 record last year and 15-2 record this year mean absolutely nothing until we show up and prove we can beat a quality opponent in a big game!!! Having said all of that I would like to say COME ON HC go over there and EARN the respect that you want and feel you deserve!!!
