[Harlan Native]

Knox drubbed Harlan last night. I've been saying all along that Harlan is lower half of the region, in terms of rating. The score, with their regulars in the first half was 58-21. Knox led 36-11 at the end of the first quarter. Again, 58-21 at halftime. The second half, Knox Central played their bench, while Harlan's 1st team remained in the game. Final score was something like 87-62. Knox Central is the real deal. I think they give Clay a run for the regional title. I like Jackson Co., Bell Co., and Harlan Co. as contenders as well. Back to Harlan. The Miller kid made a mistake transferring to Harlan Ind. He looked lost at times last night, with not much support around him. Again, Harlan will be a 9-12 win team and finish 4th in their district.

You're very misguided on this topic, I assure you. Unless you were in attendance for the game, like myself, the score, 85-62, will be extremely misleading. Knox, well deserving of their 2nd ranking, was impressive, but not head and shoulders better than the dragons. Harlan, ran a triangle and two defense, one offensive play, one offensive out of bounds play, and did not press, trap, or run ANY of their normal sets. This all because NL, the Green Dragons first regular season opponent, was in attendance scouting. You're sadly mistaken if you believe, even for a moment, that the Dragons are going to be an under-achieving "9-12 win team, and finish 4th in their district."
