I wonder what Broughtons excuse will be this time.....Blake Smith and Ryan House clamped down and held him to 4 points.....wow....he goes from one of the best in the region (well at least that is what a lot of people say on here) to not even making the 49th district all tournament team (at least he shouldn't).....If Smith can stay out of foul trouble I think he can shut down anyone in the region and that includes Jackson County's precious Fox.

No excuse from here on Broughton, although I will tell you he is one of the regions best from watching an entire season. For me it was just the 'd'. After seeing Smith about five times this year, I don't think it is overboard to say he is as good a defender as anyone in the mountains, maybe beyond. Clay completely took away Broughton's mid-range jumper, which was his bread-and-butter most of the year. What concerns me more is the OBI possibilities. That could be bad news for this district. I thought something might be on tap when OBI asked to be put back in the district hosting rotation and seeding process. We shall see.
