Phelps travels to Prestonsburg tonight for a 7:30pm tip off. Phelps is coming off a 59-57 win over defending 1A state champions in WV, Tug Valley at Tug Valley. Prestonsburg is playing their best basketball right now. They have won 3 straight, and beat Mingo Central, WV @ Mingo by 29 in their most recent outing in a game where Braxton Keathley had 51 points.
Thoughts/predictions?
Also, I saw somewhere that Zade Rash was playing in his first game for Phelps tonight.

Should be an interesting game as both teams are playing good right now, didn't think I'd be saying that about Pburg after the start they've had to the season.
Heard a lot of good things about Phelps, especially the Weddington kid, looking forward to seeing him play. Also interested to see how the inclusion of Rash goes for the Hornets, if he does indeed play tonight. I'm sure they'll want to get him some run tonight just to get familiar with the system they're running.
Hard to believe it's January and this is the first home game for the Blackcats. They've been on a nice streak recently, and according to other comments in other threads, Keathley is still getting his, but on a more consistent flow within the offense which is what you want if you're a Pburg fan. Obviously they'll want to defend home court, looking forward to seeing the Weddington/Napier matchup down low, should be a fun one to watch.
Not entirely familiar with Phelps, haven't seen them play but just basing off things I've heard/read on here, but they seem to have a good surrounding cast around Weddington.
Can Prestonsburg keep the momentum going? Can they keep playing consistent offense and not solely relying on Keathley, makes you wonder if it's a close game if he decides to try hero ball or it he'll play within the system. This one should be fun to watch.
With all that being said, I think Phelps goes on the road and pulls out a hard fought victory, but they'll have to earn it.
Phelps-66
Prestonsburg-59

I’m wondering why Phelps isn’t competing in the All A tournament. Usually there would be a play in game cause of the odd amount of teams. Before the season started I assumed this game would be the play in based on the date. Does anyone know why Phelps isn’t in it?

I've looked at the bracket a few times and didn't even notice they weren't in it, that is a good question as to why they aren't. They're normally a traditional 1A school.
