Thoughts...predictions?

Should be a great game. Eastern Brown has been playing some decent basketball lately only losing to Ripley by 8 and Manchester by 14 I believe. I think Peebles will come away with the win but expect it to be a close one at Eastern's gym.

Peebles will need to play good team ball against a stingy Eastern Brown 'D'

Should be a good game. It will be tough for Eastern if Justice and Countryman are on as usual. Peebles was able to beat Whiteoak with Countryman on the bench for about 3 quarters with foul trouble. Jake Daniels did an excellent job of filling in the void left by Countryman. The Indians are tough to beat, just ask Manchester. I think Peebles by 10.

I would say Eastern Brown will try to slow down the Peebles uptempo style of play to more of a half court game, if they do I'll take Peebles by 7. If Peebles is able to get out and run and play their style of game I'll take them by 14.

Great team effort by the Indians tonight in their 18(was nearly 30 till mass subs in the fourth) point victory. Countryman and McFarland came out and played like we were used to at the beginning of the season.

Peebles would have won by a bigger margin if they tighten their D up and shut down all of the back door plays. They seem to give up several points on back door plays or base line plays every game. They need to work on that before they play bigger body teams that will really expose that. Other than that Peebles played very good team ball tonight. GO INDIANS
