Well the blowout you were expecting to see happened considering the Dawgs won by 17. That sounds pretty decisive to me! Also LC had control all through the game. Pikeville is better than expected though.

No offense intended, and I'm not taking up for Paintsville at all, but there was no blowout until Paintsville players (I won't mention names) gave LC about 5-6 uncontested layups off of turnovers in the span of about 2 minutes of the game. Other than that, it remained fairly close. Also, Paintsville fouled at the end for whatever reason because they couldn't obviously win, and that increased the margin. This game was definitely no blowout. A blowout is where a team dominates another. That didn't happen in this game as I had expected. Lawrence Co. is for certain the better team, but I expected a better game out of them than what I seen. And I will agree that Lawrence Co. had the upper hand most of the game, but the Tigers were within just a few points through 3 quarters and even had the lead a couple of times. That is not as much control as I would want if I were the coach of Lawrence Co. The kind of play from Lawrence last night won't win you many games against the better district and regional teams. But at least the Dawgs have squeaked their way to a 2-0 record which will help.

The way I see the district now:
