No one has played a game that really matters yet.

Hazard played good enough to win this game but Clay had a stretch where they held Hazard without a bucket for a 2-3 minutes in the fourth quarter that kinda sealed the deal.

I really liked what I saw out of Clay. They have some good ball players but also just some big, strong kids that will get in your head if you let them. I loved the way they played and the way they defended Caudill down the stretch. I don’t keep up with the 13th as much anymore but I would bet they’ll give anyone a tough way to go this postseason.

Hazard had a few silly turnovers late that you just don’t see out of them. Higgins was sidelined for a big portion of the game with foul trouble. It won’t be hard to look at the tape and see what they could have done differently to win this game. I think the Bulldogs are primed for run at the 14th.

Great game!
