Wow. I think it's great these EKY teams are ranked that high.
Gotta question for any Valley fans on here. How will Valley fair without Newsome. I know Paintsville is gonna be hurtin without Bundy, just wonderin if the loss of Newsome will have as much impact on them.

Taylor is a really good player, and they will miss him tremendously, but they do have people who can step in and take his place--somewhat. I think the loss of Bundy will have more of an impact because he plays more of an impact position, and the point guard is really hard to replace.

I think the loss of Taylor will hurt Valley's chances of going far because of his big game experience and the depth factor. I don't think it will hurt their regional chances as much as it may hurt their chances of doing well at state if they make it there. I think Jonah and Curby will do a great job, but the injury takes one of your best players away from his team.
