2 out of 3 does work here since both teams had many of the same players.

As far as the all A goes SV got the trophy and it is a nice accomplishment but Elliott won the imagination of the basketball world,when you have ESPN doing articles on your team that is just a little bit bigger than winning the all A.

The Mason thing is valid because Mason was ready to play both teams,even though the game was at Elliott the tv cameras were rolling and Mason gave extra effort.To be honest Mason really and truly should have won that game at Rupp,they didn't have a chance of beating Elliott from the get go.


I agree with your point both teams fans will say their teams should have both games.

All in all this has been a great debate,both teams are pretty good,truth of the matter is neither could beat Holmes to win the title.

Which teams if any in the 15th will challenge SV next season.

I would have to say that if Mason gave extra effort in either game, it would have to be the state tournament game. TV or not, the state is quite a bit bigger stage than any game at Elliott County will ever be. Why do you say that Mason should have won at Rupp? We could just as easily say that SV should have won by more. In the All A, it could be said that SV should have and would have won by 12-15 points if the free throws are made. This argument could go on forever, though.

As far as competition for next year, I'd say Johnson Central and Lawrence will be the biggest threats.
