Bluegrass Sports Nation continued a tradition started during the 14th Regional Basketball Tournament. Bluegrass Sports Nation interviewed each coach before the matchup’s asking about how their season has gone, who were some of the key players, and what would be a key to a win in the matchup. After the matchups were offer we interviewed the coach again and a couple of the Seniors. The kids were all nervous but seemed to enjoy the exposure and interviews.
