Congrats to Valley!

I knew it would be a tough game, because Bardstown is good and two games so close together is tough. But good teams find a way and that is what Valley did. Congrats in bringing it back to the mountains and even more so to the 15th Region!

PS: To the Bardstown guy that PM'ed me back in the summer about avenging the loss from last year, this is now two years straight that your Bardstown team got knocked out of the All A by a 15th Region team. You guys are good, but give the 15th Region some respect!!!

Keep your heads up Valley and play hard. You guys have a good shot if you play tough and smart! Remember that Paintsville came close to making the semis last year at Rupp. And you guys have the one thing that they lacked - depth!! Use it wisely and play hard, stick to the game plan, and you never know what will happen. Good luck!
