[EKY Hoops]

Congratulations to Prestonsburg! They wanted it more and were the better team from the tip. Shout out to Braxton Keathley, from everything I’ve been told he works his butt off and it showed today. I was impressed with how Keathley and Kaden Allen handled Pikeville’s full court pressure, and the whole Blackcat team for not flinching when Pikeville cut it to 1 in the 4th quarter. Napier, Slone, and others made plays all game. Credit to them.

As for Pikeville, I was afraid of this watching them this summer (before they canceled the second half of the summer season). Very disappointing, still time to figure it out, but it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel for Pikeville right now.
