Hazard has the best team and the best coach , but Breathitt is playing the best basketball right now. I’m sure Hazard’s game plan will be similar to Perry Central’s - forcing Sperry to shoot from outside and collapsing on Terry when he catches the ball in the paint.

I think Breathitt needs a big rebounding night from Gross , Terry & Sperry. They have to have a big defensive effort while staying out of foul trouble. If I’m Coach Honeycutt , I’m posting up Sperry & Terry all night long - those two are hard to stop in the paint !

Hazard may be the favorite , but if Breathitt sends them home for a 3rd year in a row , I won’t be surprised.

I expect to see a battle tonight !!
