[Mr. D]

To me you never circle the game at Paintsville and say that’s a for sure win. These 57th district games are always tough regardless who’s good and who’s not. Cards will be fine big game Friday with JC coming up a big win can change everything.

This is good point. Every game in the 57th especially on the road is a hard-fought win. I have seen some really good JC teams play at some not so good Magoffin County teams and stub their toe. I think every team has had that experience where 1 of the 4 is "down" and you are expecting to sweep the series but it you end up 1-1 because of a road loss. 

For Friday, JC is hitting their stride and Martin is starting to falter but I have feeling that Martin will want to silence some of their critics and will defend home court.
