The County Line Indians looked the part on Wednesday of a team that many have picked to be in Hot Springs next weekend playing for a state championship in Class 1A. The Indians raced to a double-digit start in the first quarter against Bradley and never looked back in the state tournament first round win.
County Line is now awaiting the winner of this afternoon’s first round contest between Clarendon and Concord in anticipation of their second round game on Friday. The Indians will play the winner on Friday at Ozark High School at 8:30 p.m. A win on Friday night will advance County Line to the state semifinals where they would be one win away from advancing to next weekend’s championship final.
County Line is extremely well-coached by Joe Brunson. Brunson’s team is playing with great confidence. The Indians appear to know exactly what they want to do, feel confident in doing it, and, they expect to win every time they take the court. Although there are still good teams remaining in the tournament, County Line will be a challenge for anyone who plays them.
