8th Region Semi-Final Preview

Your assessments are dead on and should be two great games with contrasting styles in each game. South hit 14 3's in the first meeting with Collins, but have proven they can win without hitting 3's. They only hit 7 against Owen and still scored 81 points. In the OC/Anderson game, I look forward to seeing the athleticism of Johnson and Penny as they battle around the rim. Four excellent coaches on the sidelines doing their chess matches. Should be a great night of basketball Monday. -
Central Hardin 72 Caverna 71 (5th Region)

The most critical thing is if the official score book is correct and that is why each team has a book keeper; to catch these mistakes. Running the scoreboard can be very difficult depending on the type of scoreboard they have. Most of the time these are volunteers from the host school and it can get pretty crazy and frantic especially late in games and is easy to hit the score for the wrong side. Then you have fans yelling, coaches hollering. I've been doing it for years and it never gets easier. -
KABC All star game

I believe the game is april 16th. Don't think any Sweet 16 obligations will be an issue. -
I so hate how these threads that start talking about a fantastic high school basketball game turn into personal agenda discussions about region wars and player evaluations. JUST STOP!! I know there many intelligent people on this, but it sounds like 2nd graders on the playground saying "my dad can beat up your dad" talk. I'd love to discuss the multiple defenses South used to confuse Owen county. Or that Owen missing free throws because they were tired,caused by South spreading the floor and having Carson chasing around #24 all over the floor to defend the 3. Great coaching on both sides and pure energy exerted by both teams to provide such an entertaining game.

Owne made 3-15. Unfortunately the 3rd one came on a broken play with 18 seconds left.

Their first meeting went right down to the last 20 seconds, tied. South made 3's for the game but 1 3 the entire 4th quarter and was right there at the end. owen played an excellent game with carson getting 40. I don't think owen can play much better, but i think south can play and has played better. 1 or 2 extra shots, two less 2nd chance possessions and south wins that game. Here's the deal, south was going to have to beat owen anyway, so might as well do it the first round. It was a great game in an outstanding atmosphere the first time, i expect even better this time around.

Simon Kenton/Walton Verona Predictions
big ten hoops replied to uk#1fan's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I've seen both teams and sk has perplexed me all season. Not sure why thy lose rhe games they have. They have great size, decent shooters and a solid coach, but something hasn't clicked this year. I think these are pretty evenly matched teams. Walton plays on alot of emotion. If they get down early, might not recover. I'm going with sk by 6. -
This is a tough one. Which Anderson team shows up; the that played flawless in hammering south oldham last month or the one that lost to gallatin? Both teams have excellent coaches in Drury and Gaither. I think Collins is healthy and has been getting better each week since clarkson's return. I think Collins in a tight game, 55-52.
