TO's from the guards will be the key or downfall of Paintsville and 1 of the guards (no names) will have to play under control. If he doesn't, it'll be lights out and in a hurry.
Another thing that they need to watch to keep those lights on is their 3 point shooting. If you are not hitting, STOP shooting. If there is a repeat of the Class A tourney performance with the states being 3 out of 26 (if I remember correctly) (no names) I agree, they will go out in a hurry.

I have seen JTown play several times when I lived in Louisville. Yeah SV got beat by them in Jtown's own Tourney, but Valley got hosed pretty badly down the stretch or they could've won by about 7-10 points. Paintsville just needs to play their game. If they start off shooting the ball well, boxing out on the boards, and not allow wide open looks when someone cuts to the basket then they will be fine. If they come down to Lexington and lay an egg the first 8 minutes like they did against JC then it will be over quickly. Forget the hoop-lah surrounding the tourney and trust in one another. BMR has been there before and he will know how to get his kids ready for this. Best of luck Tigers. Paintsville by 4.
Very well put!!!

Paintsville has a lot of weapons. See if jtown can contain them. It will also be good to see a team from the mountains show that they can play against teams from outside the mountains.

I beleive the Tigers are going to go down there and play hard and hopefuly be there on saturdaymorning and payback Lex. Cath. Best of luck to the Tigers and hopefuly bring some hardwear back to the MOUNTAINS!!!!!.
TIGERS BY 5. its going to be back and forth battle.
agree....:thumpsup:
I know the guard your speaking about...but he is a very talented kid..you gotta admit that...But I just think that Pack is a secret weapon..all of the schools by now have watched a video or seen Pville play..so they know what that certain guard plays like and how spotaneous he is...But Pack is another thing....he doesn't see as much playing time...and can get the job done just as good...almost equally just as well as the other guard...and pack doesn't cause me to wanna take anxiety drugs.....I get so anxious and nervous.....But that guard and might as well say his name ..(bundy) can be a clutch player though....I have said it before that maybe Pack should start...but I am afraid that between nerves and newness that would just be a bad idea!!

Pack plays better off the bench. He had a chance against LexCath and didn't do too well when trying to bring the ball up the court. Back in 1997 the Tigers had a player by the name of Kyle Adams(a.k.a. Gump) that come off the bench and was a solid role player, much like Pack. Some kids play better coming off the bench. Back when I played baseball they tried me as the leadoff batter and it didn't work too well, but when I was moved to hitting in the #7 spot I made a drastic turn around. Some of it was nerves and some of it probably had to do with how others done before I got my opportunity at the dish. If its not broke don't fix it. They won 29 games with the lineup that they have used this season, so why try to question it now?

Gump was a treat to watch, I believe he is now at Montgomery Co. coaching, not really sure but it sure looked like him when I watched them at the JC Holiday Classic. He hit big shot after big shot during his senior campaign coming off the bench, and yest it did seem to spark the players. Kinda like Pack has done this season in several games.

I agree Vanhoose has really impressed me with how much he's improved his shooting, it will definetly come to play a part next week if they play Slone as tight as you know they will.
