Alexander (17-4) vs. Zane Trace (13-9) District-Semi 3/8

[Bozo]

Both teams are coming off impressive Sectional wins.

Zane Trace defeated Peebles 69-51, while Alexander knocked out Coal Grove 58-36.

[Wffan]

This should be a good game. I think Alex is better than Peebles...at least more balanced. Both teams can defend. Should be about 42 to 38!! I'll pull for Z.T.

[The Gloaming]

Alexander needs to get things going early in this game or it could ugly. Against solid competition they have struggled early and had to fight back into games. I'll take Alex in a close one 58-53....and if they lose...then after the game.........

[BLUEGRASSVIKE]

Seeing both teams play VC I would have to say Alex is the favorite. Eventhough VC beat Alex both times and lost to ZT the Spartans have the better team. I will say Alex by 10.

Just want to say good luck to the Spartans for Sunday. You guys have the ability to make it deep in the tournaments so work as a team and show everyone what you are made of. Best of luck guys. Seniors--work hard and don't let this be the end of the road for you. Its been a pleasure to watch you all play over the years.

I'm pulling for Alex but I see Zane Trace winning this one.
