[Hoot Gibson]

JC has to travel 3 hours north to play a team that beat a team JC only beat by one earlier. I do not think JC can come into this game with the thought that they are huge favorite and going to win easily. Last couple years JC has come into this round with good record but over rated. This will be an interesting game to watch.

JC will bring something that Ashland did not have. JC is healthy and unless the bus pulls out of Paintsville without Matney, the outcome of this game will not be in doubt by the third quarter. That is just my opinion and you can bet that Johnson Central's players will de-bus convinced that they are underdogs who are getting no respect.
