That sounds like a fair summary. Key will Be whether McNamee has time to get ball downfield or has to revert to quick screens. My understanding is that Pikeville starts two big freshmen guards?

They can start the freshman guards or they can go with the upper class man guards, both of whom saw JV time last year as well as some mop up duty in varsity games. They are stout as well. The freshmen will have special careers if they continue working hard. Word I’m hearing is they have been very solid so far though! Could very well end up being the starters. Bardstown will be very tough with the returning experience they have, but Pikeville returns a lot of people who saw quite a bit of PT last year as well, so it is not a huge experience advantage for Bardstown. And if McNamee has to throw a bunch of quick screens, that’s fine too. Feel very confident Pikeville can match speed with Bardstown, line play as usual will be the key factor in this game. Special teams will be advantage Pikeville, D will be advantage Pikeville, O will be a tossip because offenses generally take a little longer to gel than Defenses. So it will boil down to the line that executes best and no TOs.
