I don’t think DCA was ranked as high, they’ve got a loss to Ashland while Hazard has a win over them and also hadn’t lost to anyone in the state yet.

DCA has a 6’10” kid and a 6’11” kid who caused a lot of problems defensively for Hazard. This was a game Hazard led at the half, but DCA switched defenses and Hazard just couldn’t score. They pushed Hazard’s guards 35+ feet from the basket and let their big men patrol the paint and trusted them to close out on shooters which they did well.

Hazard hadn’t scored less than 54 points or so this year and they didn’t make it out of the 20s. Hazard had a couple wars and an overtime game the night before, but to make a run any tournament you have to be ready to play. 14th has had a couple good runs in the All A recently, would love to see them break through and win one again.
