A little Divine Inspiration couldn't hurt.

Yeah, horrible game from Eastern. I remember someone on this site talking about how good Eastern was supposed to be this year. Haven't heard much from him lately.

I believe that we have seen this year that upsets will happen. One team in Kentucky has beaten Butler, Bowling Green, and Elizabethtown. It's tournament time, anything is possible.

Mercy beat Butler and Etown this year.

Mercy played great defense on Boley. Denied her the ball and double or triple teamed her when she got it. Mercy shot the ball really well and made the clutch free throws down the stretch.

Final. Great win for the Jaguars. Firing on all cylinders right now.

Great game by the Jaguars tonight. Tough test on Friday against Etown.

Jaguars knock off No. 2 Butler 73-71 | CatholicSportsNet Here's a good article on the game last night. Mercy played hard all night long and never lost focus or confidence throughout.

Final

Yes, but Mercy beat Bowling Green who beat Eastern.

Gotcha

Not sure why someone is called a "true" freshman in high school. Isn't she the same girl who played a lot of varsity for Butler last year?

Final from Eastern, Eastern 77 Mercy 61. Eastern pulled away at the end for the victory. Well played game from both schools. Mercy gave Eastern all they wanted. It was a 2 point game with 6 minutes to go. Excellent 3 pt shooters at Eastern.

Mercy has struggled a little over the summer and with the pre-season scrimmages. They played well in a scrimmage with Henderson Co but had a horrendous outing against Ryle. They still have a lot of talent but may take awhile for them to gel as a team. I look for them to take a few on the chin early in the season but think they should definitely compete for the district and regional title at the end of the year.

Bullitt East is really good. Duvall is probably the best freshman in the state. The problem is that four of their five starters are seniors. It may take another few years to get back to where they are this year. They do have a real good freshman and JV team though.
