PT wins going away. SV is good for Eastern KY, not so much when you meet teams in the Central and Western part of the state. Another one and done for the 15th region.

Disagree, I think you are giving the teams from western KY a bit too much credit.

I agree that in general, stronger eastern KY teams don't always do well when they play against teams from central KY, in particular the powerhouse teams from the 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, and 11th regions.

But not western KY. The only regions that have had powerhouse teams from out west in recent years are the 4th, with Warren Central and Bowling Green, or the 2nd, with Christian Co. and University Heights. That's it. I'd bet that overall, mountain teams have held their own just fine against teams from the 1st-5th regions.

As for your prediction of a 15-point win for Tilghman, I just don't see what you base this assessment on. Tilghman has not beaten any of the top teams in the state this year. Granted, SV hasn't done much in-state either, but at least they do own a road win over a top-15 team in Jeffersontown, not to mention a road win over Sweet Sixteen participant Knott Central. If anything, SV has proven more this year than Paducah.

From what I can tell, these are two evenly matched teams, and I don't see either team winning by double digits.
