Congrats Paintsville Tigers. Going in to last night's game, I think both teams believed the LC vs. Paintsville matchup was the true championship game. Not disrespecting JC in any shape, form, or fashion, so please I hope nobody takes it that way. The two best teams in the region were LC and Paintsville. It wasn't clear cut, but I think they were the best two. JC had the arms, and everyone knew that. But I think their offense wasn't what people had expected and losing Blanton from last year really did hurt them.

As for LC, just like JC, too many mistakes in the field to overcome. Watching the game last night I think the game plan for LC was great. They got the runners on base, they stole bases at will, but they couldn't get that hit with them in scoring position. Credit the Paintsville pitchers for that.

Good luck next week.
