Magoffin needs to keep the little mistakes to a minimum like someone said earlier. They made a lot of errors against Paintsville that i'm sure can be blamed on nerves. If Coach West and Co. can keep the team calm and focused then Magoffin County will be 100% capable of winning this one.

The school system also needs to do whatever it takes to get the fans out for this game. At the district championship game Magoffin's fans seemed both bigger and louder than Paintsville's on their own court. When I was a student the school provided buses for the students to ride to the Region tournament. Hopefully they'll be doing this again this year.

Like a few people have already said, I don't know much about Pikeville this year. But by looking at their record, the Hornets will have their hands full even if they play at their very best. But I predict the Hornets will thrive off the momentum of winning the 57th and advance to the next round.
