Harlan County won by 18. They shot well and will beat just about anyone if they shoot like that. I was still impressed by North's talent. They will be very dangerous and competitive in the 13th with several younger guys in key spots. Harlan County was more physical than usual and can be really good if they play like that every night.

That’s exactly the problem North will face all year. They aren’t physical at all, North players need to get in weight room if they are to have a chance at Corbin or Harlan County. We return a lot with Stewart, Curry, Worley and Pietrowski and a kid to be named later. Go Hounds..

This is one stupid comment. North returns 3 starters who were more than physical enough last year to send the dogs home with their tales tucked last year. Chadwell did not play either. I was there because my tigers played at the Collins event. It was a close game early on. Tournament rules were no foul outs. and Harlan did capitalize on it. They built a lead then killed clock in the 4th. Smart on their part. Harlan and the dogs better focus on my tigers or they may wind up with cat scratch fever. The black and yellows is some bad fellows.

I was giving the Tigers the benefit of the doubt but since you chimed in about a stupid comment I’d love to know why you think the Tigers can beat the Hounds? I’d say you’re right tho the tigers are a 4th ranked team behind HC, Corbin, North. The Hounds will win every game they play this year against Clay County period..

I think Corbin vs Clay will be a very physical game but I think the tigers get the edge in a physical game.  Bundy is a head hunter. Corbin lost their main physical dude when Wells walked across the stage to receive his paper. He was a very tough athletic kid. I actually enjoyed watching him play. Harris is a tough match up for Corbin. Roark plays hard and I think the tigers have a chip on their shoulder. Because of the past few years of questionable coaching.
