This I am very pleased to see. Didn't see this in last years team. Just the opposite, had leads and couldn't put the teams away.

Both Homles and GRC has very tuff games to advance in, but like you would love to see them advance. I would love to see GRC win it all, but if not I hope a KY team does.

I knew GRC had the talent to be a great team this year. Getting Purvis and Kindred back this year is huge for thier success.

Clark Co did a nice job adjusting to the waves of players that Henley was throwing at them throughout the game, especially at the end of the first half and beginning of the second half.

The one thing I could see them having trouble with though is players who have size and can play both inside and out like Pittman. Both Purvis and Zollo struggled against him on both ends of the floor.

After seeing both teams last night though, I really like their chances against any team they play against, in state or out of state. Hopefully both win their first two games of the KOB and meet again in the semi's.

Both teams have tremendous height at this level and are very athletic. GRC is actually more athletic than I thought. They got out and ran with Holmes just fine. The Cards will have to develop some depth though. After their first 6 (Zollo, Stenzel, Purvis, Rogers, Daniels, Kendred), there's a bit of a drop off that other teams can expose if they get any of those guys in foul trouble. With that said though, I'd put GRC's first 6 against anyone in the state. Fatkin, Van Cleve, and Skinner should all develop as the season progresses and be ready to contribute by mid Feb.
