Final

 

Both Apollo and Owensboro are 4-1, with Apollo owning the tiebreaker (4 point win over Owensbor beats a 3 point loss to Owensboro)...Both teams have 1 remaining district game that is scheduled to be played tomorrow. Apollo vs. Owensboro Cath and Owensboro vs. Daviess County....Unless something drastically happens, Apollo is the 1 seed and Owensboro the 2 seed

This was a great game from start to finish. It would not surprise me to see these team meet up twice more this season.

According to the seeding plan filed with the KHSAA (http://khsaa.org/httpdocs/basketball/districtregion/districtseedingplans/District%2009.pdf), it will go to a coin toss rather than the larger margin of victory.

Didn't know it was like that but then again I didn't check KHSAA for it. So if both Owensboro and Apollo win their district games tomorrow then it will go to a coin toss for 1 & 2...

Wow.

Region 3 Top 2 teams: Last night could be a prelude to what some think will determine the Region 3 Champion.

 

Box Score:

 

Apollo shot 54 % from the field. Owensboro shot 48 %

Apollo was 12 - 18 from the line. Owensboro 23 - 26 from the line.

Apollo with 18 assist. Owensboro with 7.

Apollo had 17 turnovers. Owensboro had 13.

 

Individual scoring:

 

Owensboro: Justin Miller had 23, Darion Marrow had 15, and Aric Holman finished with 17.

Apollo: Sam Sergeant 12 points & 10 assist, Eli Wright finished with 21, Nick Wells had 17, and Caleb Coomes had 15.

 

I take away from this game the following: Apollo has multiple perimeter weapons, strong point guard play, and the Regions top college prospect.

Owensboro has as talented a front court that you will see with Miller and Harmon. Athletic at the guard / wing spots.

 

I can see why these two teams are projected to meet 2 more times. Overall, great high school game, great environment.
