Putting everyone's biases aside, nobody is for sure who is going to win tonight. It will come down to who does the little things. Can Cannon block out????? Can DeKalb get out and cover Cannon's shooters????? Who can keep their turnovers low and get to the free throw line more????? I agree with the comment about Coach Martin having been a head coach in a district tournament game before. That could play a factor, may not. Another thing you have to consider is the age and maturity of the teams. DeKalb is starting seniors and juniors and Cannon is mostly sophmores and 2 seniors. Dekalb's team has made it to the Region a couple of times in the past few years and know what it takes to get there. This is something new to Cannon players who have not had the opportunity to play in the Region (not since 02-03 season) and has had numerous coaching changes. Coach Rigsby has done a great job with Cannon this year and has made a vast improvement compared to its previous 2 coaches. Overall, both teams have looked really good at times and really bad at times. Thats going to happen during a season. And as far as passion for their teams and the game of basketball, both coaches definately have that. Trust me... I'm good friends with both. The one thing we all know is that both teams show up to play everytime when playing one another. I did when I played..... on both teams.... for those of you wondering who I am there's a hint... but I honestly think it will be one heck of game... Good Luck to both squads.. I'll continue to cheer for the team that wins tonight throughout the rest of the tournament.
