Shelby Valley should win by 25-30.

No way Valley wins by that much. These two teams know each other too well for either team to win in a blowout.

As far as the players goes, it is a important game because I know they want to win every night out. But in all actually, it really isnt important except for bragging rights.

If the district is a two way tie as far as win-lose records, the tie breaker will be who wins the second head to head matchup. This year, the second game between Pikeville and Valley is held at Pikeville.

You're forgetting one factor that still gives this game some meaning: the remaining games with East Ridge. I know you guys just blew them out by 20+ points, but it is always a different game over on Lick Creek. Just ask Valley, who had to sweat out a victory over the Warriors just a couple weeks ago.

I don't see any way Valley loses to East Ridge at home, so if they beat Pikeville tomorrow night, suddenly there is a lot of pressure on Pikeville to win at East Ridge in order to stay in the hunt for the #1 seed.
