[More Cowbell]

NCC is on a roll right now. Listen.....the Somerset posters know what SV is up against(last couple of years) and its not pretty. NCC has had a tough schedule all year long and most have written them off. Take a long look at the regional championships and who played in them by class. NCC played all of them except for Highlands and CovCath, so this team is battle tested. SV should be glad they are in this position, they deserve it, but NCC is going to crush them. This game will get ugly fast and will be a running clock.

SV has only allowed one team to go for more than 30 against them all year (and that was still a game SV won in a shootout). I will be thoroughly shocked if there is a running clock in this game.

That said, I am perfectly fine with Valley as the underdog. They weren't supposed to finish better than third in the district, but they won it. They were supposed to be a first-round playoff knockout, but they beat Somerset. They were supposed to lose to LCA, but they won. And tonight, nobody figured they would beat a traditional power like Prestonsburg, but they did.

So go ahead, underestimate Shelby Valley. You won't be the first.
