[More Cowbell]

You forgot that Pikeville has a state tournament to prepare for and play in this week. Nobody is trying to discredit SV. We will see how it plays out in the district and regional tourneys.

Yes, Pikeville had a tournament game on Thursday night to prepare for. Shelby Valley also had a game on Thursday night to prepare for, an important district game at East Ridge. So each team played Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday. Again, neither team had an advantage.

And yes, we will see how it plays out in the post-season. I think most level-headed SV fans would agree that Pikeville is still the clear favorite despite this result. But on this night, Valley was the better team. No excuses.
