I too am looking forward to seeing how Valley fares in this game. Christian County is legit, and is fully capable of beating SV and ending the streak. This may be the best team to play SV at Robinson Creek since that LexCath squad back in '04.

On a neutral floor, this game is a tossup, but considering the long trip CC will make, I give a slight edge to SV (Robinson Creek is a little more off the beaten path than Ashland). The health of Wilson is a huge variable, if he is less than 100% SV will have even more of an advantage.

As a fan, I myself can't wait to see this game. Even though the state computer ratings have SV in the top 10, I'm sure there are plenty of doubters across the state who feel that SV is a "paper champion" built on a weak schedule. Even a close loss should prove that SV is right up there with the better teams in the state.

I will be at the game Friday, and will give my impressions when I get back. For now, I will cross my fingers and say... Valley by 2.
