[BlackcatAlum]

Up and down entertaining game with momentum swinging all over the place. Paintsville dominated the 1st quarter, Prestonsburg dominated the 3rd quarter and the beginning of the 4th, but Paintsville rallied from down 14 or 15 to make it a 1 point game with a chance to win thanks to some brutal Prestonsburg turnovers late that give the Tigers a chance to win. Blackcats fortunately made a stop on the final possession to seal the win and advance one to the second round of the 15th All A.

Prestonsburg has a gritty team and I thought they played great in the 3rd quarter tonight. They played excellent defense, they rebounded the ball well, and that led to easy buckets on the other end. Defense leads to offense and that's what got Pburg to the lead and why they won this game.

Go Blackcats!
