The Bombers are coming off a stretch of cancellations and a road loss to Graves County last night. The Bombers will once again be short handed in tonight’s game, but the coaching staff is looking forward to seeing what kids can come in and give the team a big lift. Coach Holder stated, “Being without a few of your top guys makes a big difference in all aspects. It puts guys playing out of position and disrupts what you’re offensive and defensive strategies are built around. The thing us coaches are looking forward to seeing from our guys is their ability to overcome adversity throughout this stretch. We are looking forward to seeing guys that haven’t been involved at the varsity level as much get an opportunity to give us the spark we need this evening.”

The Bombers should be close to full strength heading into Mayfield on Friday. CCA comes into tonight playing good basketball. They have won 6 of their last 8 games. The Warriors provide a balanced attack as they place 4 players in double figures. Led by Prince Kahnplaye at 14 ppg, the Warriors have a stout 4 guard offense that makes for a difficult match up for any team. Sharp shooter Jamison Smith is 42/104 (40.4%) from 3 this season and has the ability to score 20 any given night. Ty Wilson is shooting a blazing 45% from three point land and Tyson Winsett is providing the team scoring in different ways with the second most made field goals on the team behind Kahnplaye.
