Paintsville-71 Magoffin-41 Final. First time seeing these teams at Magoffin. The game went pretty much how I figured. Magoffin jumped out quick with a small lead but when paintsville started using their bigs, everything changed. It was like someone let the air out of the room.I felt like Magoffin really didn't come in with any game plan on how to handle Woods and Cole. I felt like their only real game plan is to make sure that Russell got the ball(understandably). By the half it was 22-26 Paintsville. The third quarter is when Paintsville really dropped the hammer. Paintsville would go on a 27 point run to Magoffins 6 points (53-28). The fourth continued on such the same. At the 6 minute mark, Slone started pulling his starters for rest and letting the bench play. Russell continued to score to the end. I think Russell carries a lot of weight trying make wins happen by himself. I can only imagine how good he would be if he didn't have all the weight on his shoulders. I will say this about the Tigers, They are about the most unselfish team I have seen all year.Everyone get looks and I think they are truly happy when someone else scores. I think Magoffin has Phelps on Saturday and the Tigers host Russell too.
