I agree that BC is still the team to beat. I can respect Dookie's loyalty to Fraley...he is a whale of a coach, but IMO, Bradley is right with him. Bradley makes the game adjustments he needs to win games. Also I feel Bradley places more emphasis on defense than offense. Ashland's opponents are averaging in the low 40's. Ashland beat Russell by holding them to only 15 points in the 2nd half. Boyd is not a great defensive team. They are just outscoring teams, which is not a bad strategy when it is working for you. My point is, both coaches are coaching their teams, and winning, due to their strengths. The next game between Boyd and Ashland will be very interesting...definitely a game of 2 "opposites". Also, it was obvious to me that Ashland intentionally began pushing the ball and went to a hard press in the 2nd half to gain the lead. Robinson who was guarding Darnell and also being the focus of the press was becoming spent. Ashland had to back off the press (even if they didn't want to) to give Robinson a breather. Of course, this is just my opinion which won't by ya a bowl of soup at a cheap diner. I think this regional will be very entertaining with some very close heartbreaking games for players and fans. Whoever the regional winner, I think the 16th will be well represented at State.
