So Valley will drop out of the Mountain Top 10 if they lose? That's a bit much! Aren't they ranked 2nd?

I really think you are kidding yourself by saying that this game isn't all that important to Pikeville. I will guarantee that in the minds of both teams, this game is extremely important.

I'm going to go ahead and make a prediction that Valley will win, but in a close game based on how they have been playing lately. I think Pikeville has a really good chance of winning . . . and I do think it will be extremely important if they do.

With this being a district game, here is how important it is. If Shelby Valley was to win this game by 50 points. Both Valley and Pikeville beat East Ridge at their next meeting, then Pikeville beats Valley by 1 at Pikeville, Pikeville is the number 1 seed in the 59th. If Pikeville wins this game at Valley, then they would be in the drivers seat. for sure. It is more important as a pre-All a matchup than a district game.
