After such great emotional wins by both Bardstown and Shelby Valley, does this game potetentilly get played like a stinker? Or can one of these two teams recover enough for another great game.
SV does not have much time to rest.

It's going to be an interesting game because in both boys games this morning it come down to the end to settle it. So fatigue will play a huge factor in this game.
I expect Valley to win a sloppy game and capture their first All "A" Classic state championship!
GO WILDCATS!

I hope Valley can get all the rest they can. They should not do this to both teams, trying to make them play on the same day, should of extended it to Monday.
But I say if Valley gets their rest and pratice a little bit of free throws then they take it by 10

The state finals in Rupp are the same day just more time between games. It is a quick turn around especially for Valley but this is the finals bring your best and leave it all on the floor. I think Valley rides the the big mo and wins this one by 12.

I agree that more time should be given in between the last semifinal game to the championship game. Even a couple of more hours can do wonders for a team coming off such a hard-fought game like Valley just had. Anyway, I still think this will not affect Valley as much because they are in good shape and constantly use 3 or maybe even 4 players off the bench. In my opinion, Valley wins this game by 15. Can anyone remember when this tournament featured a #1 team in the state along with a few more in the top 25?

What do we even know about Bardstown? Strengths and weaknesses? Size? Someone help us out that watched the Hazard game.

SHELBY VALLEY 55, ELLIOTT COUNTY 52: Shelby Valley, rated seventh in the state, beat No. 1 Elliott County in the semifinals of the boys’ Touchstone Energy All “A” Classic at EKU’s McBrayer Arena Sunday morning.

Bardstown is the #1 team in the 5th region. Played in the Sweet 16 last year (ousted by Holmes). They have won 9 in a row.
from: By Peter W. Zubaty - The Kentucky Standard 5th Region Preview
Bardstown (23-8) gelled at just the right time last year, riding a wave of good defense, streakiness and just the right amount of clutch shooting to capture the school’s first 5th Region crown in 37 years.
The Tigers will have to find a way to replace the post defense and rebounding of Logan Edelen and clutch play of marksman Corey Hall, but the pieces are in place for a repeat performance.
Jordan Hickman, the region’s best player, gives Bardstown coach Gary Goode a nice anchor for his senior-laden team. The 6-3 lefty point guard has a knack for the ball, leading the team in rebounding.
Demarco Phillips returns from a neck injury that wiped out his senior football season with two more inches on his now 6-6 frame; he got in some extra shooting time while waiting to be cleared by doctors, and is expected to get his final clearance to play Dec. 3. Seniors Damian Edelen and Rashaun Phillips patrol inside.

Well Paintsville knocked out Bardstown by 8 in the All A last year. Paintsville also was ousted by Holmes in the Sweet Sixteen after leading most of the game. So considering that SV gave Paintsville a great game in the Regional last year and have added Devon Adams to the team this year, I KNOW that SV can play with Bardstown. The key to SV is that they will have to play good and hard the entire game. No let up like against Elliott Co. Bardstown is a very tough team every year and will give a good fight. Should be a good one. Good luck Valley!!

I hope the hype over the last game doesn't let SV think they are just going to show up and beat Bardstown.

Sure, Bardstown played this morning, Valley didn't get done till the afternoon. Valley can beat Bardstown, there's no question to if they can beat them. Valley is a VERY well conditioned team, they have to be able to run 1/16 of a mile in a certain time or they can be cut on the team.
02-01-2009, 03:23 PM
dude i know 4 a fact valley does not half 2 do that , i know they half 2 run a mile durin conditioning before they can join the team, but it has nothing 2 do with after there on the team, don't rply back with anything stupid because trust me i know this, DO U KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BASKETBALL ,,,,,,,u give valley fans a bad name

I'll take Valley by 12 in this one.
Go CATS!!!!

Yeah, but Bardstown will have more time to rest and didn't play the #1 team.
Don't worry. We won't need excuses. :1:
If Valley loses, they beat themselves. They are perfectly capable of winning this. The tournament in Florida should have prepared them for the back to back games. And, the fact that they're playing in the school's first ever state championship game should be enough adrenaline to get over being tired.
I have faith in my Cats. Wildcats win!
02-01-2009, 03:35 PM
Valley is certainly better than Bardstown its just a matter if they come out to play...
02-01-2009, 03:43 PM
Valley should take this one lets just hope fatigue and free throw shooting does not bite them in this one.
02-01-2009, 03:48 PM
I'll take Valley in this one!
02-01-2009, 03:53 PM
Valley is tired i dont see them winning bardstown has had more time to rest
