Minford with the W here, but the falcons kryptonite has been the convo the last 4 years.

ive been hard on minford w comments in the past that they never can win a district but geesh this team is just different. Kayser so good.

not only do i think minford wins this i think they win entire region and make final 4 before running into a buzz saw

I believe Minford wins this, but im cheering for #24 and ZT to pull the upset….i really liked #24’s game for ZTrace

If Zane Trace can handle the Minford full court pressure, they can hang around in this game. Zane Trace has a veteran team that "spreads the wealth" on offense. They usually play in the 50's though. I just don't now if ZT can score enough points to keep up with Falcons offense.

In my opinion Montgomery is the X-factor in this game. ZT has the personnel to keep him under control and in turn keep the game in the 50's. A game in the 50's favors ZT. But ZT will have to play well on the defenisive end.

Everybody knows Montgomery is outstanding player but the reason why I think he is the X-factor is his ability to draw multiple defenders. If Montgomery can draw a second defender to him then other Falcons will be open. It will also give Minford opportunities to hit the offensive boards. Minford will want to get the game in the high 60's or low 70's. Of course this is just my opinion and it really means nothing. LOL!!!

Good luck to the Falcons .

Minford by 15, Kayser is one of the funnest players to watch that I have seen in a very long time! Plays with that old school style, absolutely gets after it and has probably the smoothest mid range jumper.

Not close

Minford takes this one by 15+. Even if Zane Trace can slow down Montgomery, Kayser will be just too much for the Pioneers. No one has been able to shut him down all season, and the Falcons' role players all know their role well. If Zane Trace puts too much focus on Minford's main two guys the role players will get easy looks.

Good points here, Minford has guys that would put up numbers on other squads, but just happen to be on the same team as some of the best to ever lace em up for the falcons.

Minford has a very solid team but they’ve had pretty much the same team on that floor the last two years. Beating NA in regular season both years by decent margins and then going home as district runner up. Play the game you’ve played all year or it could be a 3 peat. Good luck to both teams!

ZT keeping it close for a while, but MM and Kayser are too much for ZT to handle give me the Falcons 58-45

Congrats Minford. Good bb game

Too much of the "Big 2" of Minford for the Pioneers. Also, Shoemaker hit a huge three pointer when ZT cut it to 44-37. The game was a consistent 7-12 point lead from the mid second quarter until the end. ZT got to 4-5 poiints early in the 3rd.
