I was fortunate enough to get to go to the semifinals today. This is potentially a fantastic final game. Two disciplined, well-coached teams with a stud player plus a very good supporting cast on each side. I was so impressed with Perry’s ball-handling skills when GC was throwing everything they had at him in the second half trying to force turnovers to get back in the game. And I’m always impressed with Noah’s on-court demeanor, how he always stays on an even keel. Two fantastic high school players. I thought Lyon Co.’s supporting cast was maybe a tad better, and I would favor them by 3 or 4 tonight. It will also be Harlan Co.’s third hard game in basically 24 hours, so it will be interesting to see how that affects them.

Granny Bear you may be right about being the only person left in Harlan Co. There was a HUGE crowd cheering them on. Lyon Co. had a really nice crowd too. Rupp is gonna be rocking tonight. Wish there was some way they could both get a title.
