The reason for the spread in my prediction is that Statesville lacks self-discipline and the pressure in this game will be much higher. It could, very well, be a close game, but I do think that Hickory has the advantage and I also think that Coach Glass will have the guys prepared and playing at a higher level for the playoffs. No disrespect to Statesville, they do have size and athletic ability, but they do tend to implode when met with difficulties.
