Thoughts and Predictions?
I want to say Valley cause They are better away than they are at home.
but Belfry is an underrated team I think.

Anxious to see Messer and Belter battle.

How tall is Messer?...I watched him play earlier in the season but i can't recall.

6'4'' or 6'5''. Very athletic and a very strong kid. Sometimes gets in foul trouble though. He's probably very similar in size to Newsome but a little more developed physically due to being a little older. Solid player. Could be a D1 Tight End on the football field with his frame. Virtually unblockable defensively. Belfry system doesn't showcase him well offensively though (in football). Sorry got off on a tangent. This is a basketball thread.

Messer is the best rebounder in the region and one of the top rebounders in the state. He just goes and gets the ball when shots go up. I think he is the most underrrated player in the region.

Yes, I think so too. This is going to be off topic but I'm posting this in regards to the Belter and Messer matchup.
I think the top big men in the region are:
1.) Justin Johnson
2.) Shane Hall
3.) Cody Belter
4.) Messer
5.) Pitts
6.) Ray Kasongo
Therefore I think this will be a heck of a matchup down low.

Your selling the big kid from Phelps short, for a kid that ha played only one year of organized ball he is solid.

I would have him 7 or 8 though.

Any head-to-head matchup stats?

I'm not coming down on the kid but him not playing the whole time hurts him. The kids I listed mean a lot more to their team than he does to Phelps. The kid is a good athlete but top big men in the region?...He is not.
I don't need stats, When I've watched them all play.

:Thumbs:OK, well Valley plays better on the road and they have played well the last two weeks (except for that fluke game against Pikeville - don't get me wrong, they should have lost, but not that badly). Therefore, I must go with the Wildcats to end the regular season on a high note -- 56 to 50 -- they really need the W to have some momentum for the HUGE 1st round game in the district vs. ER. Let's go CATS!:Cheerlead:Clap:

Valley wins by 12, 68-56.

Belfry's physical style of play and their rebounding will keep them in this one. Cat-quick point guard, I'm picking Belfry by 4. As long as they don't lose their heads if Valley pushes back though. Belfry is a little faster than Valley overall, but do not shoot well from the perimeter. If their shots are falling, that 4 point prediction could balloon. I feel comfortable with the 4 point pick though.

Shane Hall is good but I don't think he's that good, I mean Johnson had 26 boards against JC. Between Messer/Belter, I guess we'll see tonight. Belter is longer but Messer is a brute.
Nick Turner is the key, if the kid plays aggresively, it's almost impossible to stop him.
