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?

I thought our "D" was much better yesterday. That, and considering that not a whole lot of fouls were being called.
