Kind of stopped paying much attention to them when they hit a skid (at least by their standards), but can see a world where an underdog Perry County Central team is much more dangerous to a Breathitt County team that has only done it once than casuals may think.

PCC had greater leads in the Knott County Central game than the final score might have indicated. They've also essentially been written off and can play like they have nothing to lose.

For a team that only has one senior, that can be a dangerous proposition, as younger teams typically take a bit longer to find their identity and develop over the course of the season, especially if there's roster turnover.

If Perry were to pull it off, it wouldn't be the first time that the team that everyone thought was a year away got ahead of schedule. Remember this: younger teams don't always go out and perform based on what everyone else expects them to do.

I think Breathitt County would be favored given their body of work, previous head-to-head victory, and having the best player on the floor, but this has the potential to be a very close, low-scoring, back and forth game.

As long as Perry doesn't get down big early and can weather the first one or two Bobcat runs, it's anyone's game.
