Just came from the 9th region final where a very talented but much maligned Holmes Bulldog Team was finally able to beat the CovCath Colonels in this there 4th matchup of the year. The Bulldogs are by far the most talented team in the 9th and have been for the past 3 years but they have also been their own worse enemy as well. Since the return of UK football signee Duran Jefferson to run the point the Dogs have been able to salvage what was starting to appear to be a lot of wasted talent. The Dogs seem to be playing tough defense and are hitting the boards extremely hard to go along with several offensive threats. Rice, Hill and Henderson are all capable of scoring in the 20s and tonight both Rice (24) and Henderson (27) did just that with Hill right behind them tonight.
The Bulldogs will play the winner of the 1st region final (Marshall Cty or Paducah Tilghman) and if they play the type of team basketball that I saw tonight the Bulldogs could cause some problems for their opponents at Rupp. Great game played by both teams..Good luck Bulldogs in Lexington.
