[HD28]

I don't have any ties to any of theses teams but I do keep up with basketball all across the state and from what I've seen so far I would give the nod to Ashland right now as the team to beat in this region.They beat East on the road by double digits and lost by 2 at Rowan and while it counts for a loss to a coach or player it would fell like a 6-8 point win. Because every one knows it is hard to go in to Morhead and get a win.

Since you are so "in the know" did you know Rowan was without 2 starters when they lost by 3 at East in early December? Did you know they were still without 1 last Friday night? And if RC hits FT's down the stretch its 10-12 point win. And, you need to re-check your facts...it was 53-47, and by my count its a 6 point win after leading by 18. And anybody who looks at a loss as a moral victory is grasping at straws. They could just as easily been blown out of the building, down 14 in the 4th. I don't care who wins what, but give credit where credit is due. East is probably the toughest matchup in the region for any of those teams, and deserves to be #1 right now.
