MVP of the game for Clay County has to be Ryan House's defense on Justice. I will not sit here and say Knott is overrated or that Cam can't play elite D1 but House held him to 12 with no more than two really good looks. Trey came to play, really liked that. Didn't know Blake was battling illness but could tell he wasn't feeling well. Stumbled very often and lost the ball but still had a nice game. How many rebounds did Sexton have? Wow. However, Clay County's Achilles Heel showed: Size. I have no doubts that this is the best team in the 13th region but I would like to know how many second chance points Knott had. Hall's size doesn't lie and the boy can play. By far the difference in the game. The Tigers also seemed to keep the role players out of the game for the most part.

Have not had a chance to watch Cam Justice in a lot of games, maybe 3-4 with some bits and pieces here and there so tonight I wanted to observe his entire skill set. The kid can play, no doubt. There were some questionable calls both ways and that's part of the game. He does have one thing that all the good ones do though, the ability to question EVERY SINGLE call. Whether it was always wanting a foul on every shot to the ball visibly going off his knee out of bounds with no Clay player around him, he still seemed to find the official. Patriot fans will eat me but do know that I realize many players do that. Just would prefer players going the other way when you know you have all the accolades. The refs let them play though and that's why this was a game.

IMO, these are the best teams in their respective regions.
