CONGRATS TO THE TIGERS! Pikeville played a great game! They are for real. Paintsville didn't play their best game tonight, but that is the way it goes. But the Tigers put forth one of their best efforts that I have seen in a while to do whatever it took to win. They overcame a lot in this game, not the least of which was their own sub-par performance (especially in the first 2 quarters). And they still won!! Hats off to the Tigers!!

The best team won tonight. That is all that this means. The what-ifs are irrelevant. If you play that game, you could say, what if Pikeville hadn't made that 3/4 court heave shot. What if Landon had shot the ball better. You see where this goes and it works both ways. Bottom line: The Tigers, despite their sub-par first half, found a way to win! That is what good teams do!

CONGRATS TIGERS! GOOD LUCK IN RICHMOND!
