Congrats to Valley on a great season. It's tough for a team as talented as them to do as well as what they did when they carry a bullseye on their back the whole season. But for those that made the comparison to other teams such as the 1996-1998 Paintsville teams were off. In all honesty the 1997 Tigers were better than the 96 team, and the only reason the 1996 team had 10 losses were due to the games that they played out in Vegas and other national competition against the likes of current NBA star Mike Bibby. But tonight's game showed how truly difficult it is for a team to go down to Rupp on short periods of rest and put together 4 solid games against great competition. I would probably go out on a limb and say that this team is comparable to the 1999 Pikeville team that lost to Ballard, 2000 JC team that lost to Antwan Barbour, or last year's Paintsville team that lost to Holmes. Nothing to hang your heads about guys, great job and you made the 15th proud.

Great post, I completely agree
