[OMG]

I hope Paintsville wins, but they're not going to.

Slone is a great player in this region, but get him down state with the players on those teams and he's nothing special. Valley played Jeffersontown strong earlier in the year, but I don't think it would happen again that way. Jefferstown is just vastly more talented and a better overall team, with 2-3 players probaly better than Landon Slone. I'm from the mountains and I hope they win and represent well, but the problem is, they are completely outclassed in this one. Jeffersontown goes 9-10 deep, runs better than Paintsville, have a better half court game than Paintsville. Applies more pressure defense than Valley did that gave Paintsville trouble in the regional, but Jeffersontown's pressure d is better than Valley's. I don't see this one being close. If I had to predict a differenence in the score than I would have to take Jeffersontown by 15-20 points.

Good Luck Paintsville.

How can you say their defense is that much better than Valley's if Valley scored 70 points against that defense, and only got beat by 5 points? Going 9-10 deep means nothing. Paintsville has conditioned themselves so well this year they can stay on the floor the entire game and keep up, they've been doing it all year. You know I heard another poster say that J-town was a running team, now your saying they are a half-court team. Personally it's obvious that everyone posting on J-town doesn't know alot about them, they are just assuming that because they are not from the mountains, they will win. Well you better reevalute your thoughts because BMR and the Tiger's don't just go to Lexington to be going...They go for a purpose!!!
