Man oh man, just got home and I'm like sportwhiz, I am KILLED.

Keep your heads up girls, you played great in Richmond against better teams than in your region (with the exception of Magoffin County and Belfry). I only disagree about one thing, I think Magoffin, maybe Belfry too would beat Monroe. They really didn't impress me all that much except for the PG. There is NO WAY that Monroe is a top 10 team in the state, I just find that hard to believe with how they played and how Paintsville played. Seemed like they shot over 60% (IDK what they shot, but it had to be good) and seemed like Paintsville shot 20%.

Hopefully the girls will come out every game with that look in their eyes and heart they showed in this tourney from here on out, that would great if they do.

PC, I'll have to disagree with you, which I normally don't do. Monroe is a very tough team. You have to be very, very good to only lose to the #3 team in the state by 3 points and the #5 team by 5 points. Of course I'm talking about Clay Co and Sacred Heart.

They beat Barren Co by 5 and 15 points. Barren has beaten Montgomery Co, who beat Magoffin, North Hardin, Rockcastle, and Madison Southern. All of those teams are very good. Monroe also beat a good Newport Catholic by 11. Newport beat Magoffin by 8.

Maybe Paintsville had a little to do with Monroe not looking too good to you. Maybe our girls are better than we give them credit for.

The scary thing is if we don't spot them 7 points, that game would have gone down to the wire and you know, anything could have happened then.

We both know our girls have not put it all together yet. This tournament will help a lot. Our girls haven't peaked, which is good. They have 3 weeks to put it all together. Hopefully they will peak at the right time.

Maybe it was good that the Lady Tigers are just now getting to full strength. The rest of the region hasn't seen the real team yet.

The real question is will our girls be down for losing yesterday or will they come out tomorrow night and be fired up?
