Yes, I honestly do think he could handle the pressure. The state is down, but not enough to where players still can't play defense. Several teams have run two quick guards at him and he has handled himself just fine. It is not just about Elisha though. Those other players could take care of themselves fairly well. I am not saying they could beat Paintsville, but they could definitely score more than 20. Basketball was not that much better 10-12 years ago. To me, Todd Tackett and Matt Ratliff weren't any better than Landon Slone and Elisha did fine against him. Do you think they were better than Landon?

Yes, they were much better than Landon. There's not one player on Shelby Valley's team or in the entire state of Kentucky that coulda handled Josh McKenzie and his 6-6 270 pound frame, who was runner-up for Mr.Basketball. A 1996 Paintsville vs. 2009 Shelby Valley would be a massacre. Paintsville would have a dunk contest. The Paintsville big men would make the Valley big men look like elementary players. Justice probably could hold his own against Tackett and Ratliff but what would he do when he got by em? Don't see him gettin very many shots off against VanHoose, C.Ratliff, or McKenzie without it gettin blocked.
