[EasternAlum]

In the finale of the Kentucky Farm Bureau Classic Eastern faces off against the boys from Lawrence North. Ranked in the USA Today Top 25 last season with an all star class with 3 UL commits and one Kentucky commit, they have suffered some attrition with the graduation of Stephen Van Treese and the transfer of Dominique Ferguson. They still retain two Louisville commits.

The loss of 6' 7" Kameron Woods could be a death sentence for Eastern as their inside presence was already questionable especially when compared with the size and talent that Lawrence North possesses. It will take large effort from Eastern's guards to go at the big men, get some foul calls and finish. Their perimeter game HAS to improve and shot selection will be critical.

I am not able to make it to this and I am quite upset about it with the talent and excitement that will certainly be present.

Not sure on this one, I have to pick Eastern...so I'll take them by 3 in a huge test and statement game for the Eagles as they prepare for the KoB next week.
