[Hit and Run]

The thing that separates South from everybody else in the region right now is that they know how to win. I can guarantee that in a district and regional championship run there is going to be one game where teams just don't bring their best stuff. It's inevitable. Last three years are great examples. '10 Clay came out and gave up 8 to Middlesboro, but were able to battle back without using the big swing. They made things happen. '11 Clay struggled against South in the semis but battled through. '12 South got in to some huge jams in the semis but were able to battle through. That's what sets teams apart. Not saying the others can't develop this trait, but South is the only team that has proven that they can get it done. Region is all dependent on the draw. The winner that draws the 51st loser is in the drivers seat. Take Clay for instance. IF they win the 49th AND drew that loser they would be set with Hoskins and Allen in the semis and final. Definitely not two you would want to see when you would burn your gun in the opener. The same thing also applies to everyone. I think everybody can agree with this though. The 13th is as wide open as it has been in a very, very long time.
