Memorable 10th Region Games

^ That is my #1 memory as well.

One that sticks out for me involves my beloved Polar Bears. Tim Hornsby hit a baseline jumper with just a few seconds remaining, leading Bracken County to a 1st Round 10th Region tourney victory over Mason County. The year was 1989 & was the last time the Polar Bears won a Regional Tournament game. Bracken lost in the semi-finals to eventual champion GRC.

 

Michael Jefferson with the bomb at halftime as well I believe! Was Hornsby the tallest Polar Bear player in school history?

[Randy Parker]

You're right on the halftime shot. Not sure on Hornsby's height. He's definitely up there (pun intended).

He was 6-7 I think... Scotty Copper was only 6-5 or 6-6. I can't think of another that was that tall.

[Randy Parker]

I thought he was listed at 6'5" or maybe 6'6" at most.

[LCDAWGS19]

So it's between those 2...

[Randy Parker]

Probably.

Opie, are you thinking of 10th Region tourney games or just 10th Region games in general?

Also because Bracken County was involved, the 1992 Class A Finals between the Polar Bears & heavily favored Nicholas County. The Ice Palace was rocking that night, as Mark Tucker & company scored the big upset over Daniel Brown & company.

 

Also, I remember Paris vs. Harrison County in the opening round of the District Tournament. It was Jerry Fogle's senior year & Harrison ended up pulling away a bit. But for most of the game, it was nip-and-tuck.

Best part was watching Nicholas County throw away the Class A Champs shirts they had printed and ready.

[Randy Parker]

I thought it was 55-54.

May have been...can't find my Bracken basketball book anymore. I need to get another one

I think the 1998 team won the Class A 50-49 over Brossart.

Was this around same time that Nicholas met Mason in region finals?
