In a barn burner in Independence The Lady Pioneers built an 8 point half time lead and held on for the win. The last 2 min was a foul shooting contest between Biel and Owings with both players having ice in their veins. P. Bosse scored well in the first half and The Lady Indians had pretty balanced scoring throughout.

 

The bigs for both teams were in foul trouble and one fouled out from each side. This game was a great test for both teams going into tournament season.

 

Holy Cross is IMO the most complete team in region 9. Bigs, guards, a scoring forward and depth off the bench. I would rate HC as the region 9 favorite.

 

Seniors P. Bosse and K. Morrison were honored before the game. Abby Owings was honored at half for scoring her 1000 th point last week against Campbell county.

I thought this would be a close game and a good test for both teams. Anything can happen on a given night but I wouldn't rate Holy Cross as the 9th Region favorite. Good luck to both teams.

I wouldn't say favorite either however clearly a top 3-4 team and could easily win the 9th.

 

Who is the favorite then 123go? HC beat Conner, split with Ncc, lost to Notre Dame by 1 and had Highlands down 16 at one time before losing to them. Id say they are in the discussion. Lol

I don't think there is a clear cut favorite. I said that on any given night anything can happen so I'm not writing them off. The 9th is wide open and there are several teams who could possibly win it.

I'd say holy cross is in the hunt along with NDA, Highlands, Conner, NCC, and even Boone. The 9th Region is wide open.

I agree.

NDA should be the favorite...
