Big upset, right? I know Scott County is a perennial power, but they had a losing record going into the postseason and barely made it out of their district.

Moderate upset that Scott County came out of the 11th, but not shocked that they beat Lexington Catholic. The two played a very close game early in the year and have such a rivalry and familiarity with one another that their games are going to be wars regardless.

This wasn't the most talented Lexington Catholic squad. That's not me trying to knock their kids because they are talented and accomplished a lot-- it's just that some of the more talented Lexington Catholic teams typically had one or two high level D1 athletes (even if some are football players), and I don't know if that is the case this season.

I watched all of this one and Terrin Hamilton was the difference. He gave them fits period but was invaluable as a safety valve against pressure-- if Scott Scott County's guards were trapped, he'd work to the middle of the zone and they'd throw it up to him and let him go up over everyone and high point the ball. Keeping a body on him to try and jam him on some of those lobs while also trying to trap the ball let others stretch their pressure vertically. That, the Knights going 5 of 22 from three versus Scott County's 7 of 13 clip, and Coffey's hustle plays that aren't completely reflected by a stat line (tipped balls, saves) was the difference in this one.
