How do you feel about this match up?

[clipperw]

I think it has potential to be a really good game. I think Cordia wins but wouldn't be shocked if the Engineers come away with the victory either.

I’m picking cordia in this one. Close game.
Cordia. 71
Estill. 68

Perry or Breathitt better not be celebrating to hard after Sunday night. Cordia and Estill are very dangerous teams.

[Huck Fin]

Estill has a solid team and a star in Benton. I would think that coach Hall will try to slow this game down. Cordia is an athletic team and will try to run and gun. They have scored 100 twice this year. If the lions are able to score 70+ then i think they win. If the game is in the 50s or 60s then Estill has a good chance.
Good luck to both teams.

[DukeBoy]

Looks like Cordia is playing a lot better basketball only scoring in the 50s and 60s. Congratulations to them.

I also want to add how happy I am to see both teams in the 14th Region Semi Finals, with one team advancing to the championship game.

Brian Hall is one of my favorite coaches, based on how he conducts himself and how hard his teams play. I remember he had some really good teams at Breathitt County in the early 00's.

I'm also glad to see Cordia have a nice season, complete with a District crown. Usually they'd be hyped up as a dangerous team, but would more often than not lose in the first game of the District Tournament, or Region if they did make it.
