Stewart County won the coin toss and will host Montgomery Central in a rematch of last night's game. Tip is Wednesday @ 6pm.
Free throws & turnovers down the stretch hurt the Rebels in the first matchup at home. And in all honesty, we were just a few free throws away from being the #3 team, as it knocked us out of a few games late.
Looking at the other matchups, Creekwood & Waverly should get easy 1st round wins and be able to rest some players late.
Camden/Hickman is an intriguing game in which I expect an upset. Camden barely got by a very weak Fairview team last night. From what I hear, Camden has had one of their top players go down with an injury. That could lead to an unfortunate outcome.
As for the Stewart County/Montgomery Central matchup, I'm a little biased but definitely believe our Rebels can pull out the win. Its always tough playing a team back to back, but if we play smart turnover free basketball and hit from the charity stripe down the stretch, we can take home a victory.
After the 1st round is complete, I'm not seeing any major upsets. Creekwood should walk into the championship game and Waverly shouldnt have too much trouble either.
Definitely looking forward to how things shake up next week and hope to see yall at Creekwood!
