I don't understand why the SV fans can not accept the simple fact that Elliott is the better team. Elliott should have beat them both times but they didn't and SV won the ALL-A but lost to Elliott in the big dance. Both teams had great seasons and like it or not Elliott is still better.

I am from Paintsville, the TIGERS are my team. So I dont have a dog in this fight. Here is my thoughts on the seasons of the two teams. Yes, Shelby Valley won the All A State Championship. Elliott Co. Beat out Shelby Valley in the elite 8 but lost in the final 4. Something was wrong with Shelby Valley in this whole tournement. I dont know if it was the jitters of playing in front of such a large crowd or not. Justice missed shots that he normally would not miss. Valleys defense was not as active as it has been pretty much the whole season. Elliott Co. in the 3rd looked to me like they got every break in the book. They was in the double bonus with 3:30 left in the 3rd quarter. Then one of Elliott Co. players gives a Shelby Valley player a forearm shot that knocked him down. He gets charged with the intentional foul. The player went and talked to all three refs.

It looked to me like both of Shelby Valley bigs was having problems. It looked like Tackett #42 was holding his wrist and was in pain walking off the court at half time. Adams #23 looked like the walking dead and appeared to either be puking on the bench or coughing up a big loogie. Any one know the answers to these?

One final question. In all the articles that was posted from USA Today and ESPN. I am sorry to hear that Elliott has had a disappointing season. I truly wish ever seniors season is a special one and one to remember.
