Any team faced with the draw of the Tigers would struggle. J-town, Holmes, Lex Cath....I'd say by the time the championship rolled around they'd be dead. Those three teams are probably 3 of the top 5 teams in the state. Free throws hurt them along with some bogus calls like everyone said, but to win the regional tournament as seniors and then to play in Rupp Arena pulling a game out is an experience they'll never forget and no one can take away. Best of luck to all the seniors from Paintsville and to BMR. He's a legend in Paintsville, all of East Kentucky, and one of the most respected men in all of Kentucky H.S. Basketball. Watching the clock strike zero today was the end of an era and one that may be unmatched for years to come. I must admit, when he got on his hands and knees and kissed center court after the game a tear ran down my face. He will truly be missed.
