I thought corbin, south and bell co all three played well. Mabe was a man child for south.  He dominated the jarvis kid who i was told was the best soph in ky. I thought mabe basically demoralized that kid. He is such a smart player. I feel like mabe having to play so much point takes away from other things he could for south. But he has to due to there lack of PG. Blake burnett looked a step slow. Maybe he played hurt? #12 for GRC blocked him at least 6-7 times. Mont co and GRC are the two best teams in that region. The Tri Cities team was also a good test for corbin. Once again i thought ryder akins looked very good. 24 pts, 8 rebs. He also had a nice break away dunk. That kid has unbelievable athleticism. Also, Eli Pietrowski had 18. Middleton 14. That team beat bell already(without burnett i believe). Everyone on bell 1-7 can shoot. Also that 8th grader Ferguson for bell impressed me.

I agree 1000% Mabe was a manchild for South. And yes he locked up the Jarvis kid who has multiple D1 offers but how many has he locked up last year and in a couple games this year? Outside of Sheppard he is the most dominant defensive player the mountains has had in while, but he guards every position 1-5. And unfortunately he has to play the PG position too much but that creates some definitate missmatches. In my opinion unless something happens to Mabe or the refs get in the way South is gonna be a monster in the 13th. Be interesting to see how they do against Trinity at the KOB this coming week. But that game definitely exposed some weaknesses and has to give hope to the rest of the region.
