From the update thread.

Bowling Green lead most of the way other than about 40 seconds late in the fourth. Barren got up 2 and it almost felt as if the chips were falling in to place, but then DeAngelo Wilson striked. Congratulations to both teams. Electric atmosphere and game.

Congrats Purples!

Purples! See you guys next week!!!!!

D.G. Sherrill wins his 5 regional title in 8 tries a Bowling Green coach, including 4 of the last five and each of the last 3. Also first school to sweep the boys and girls crowns in the 4th region in the same season since 1983. Congrats to the purples! Best team in the region bell to bell and can't wait to see if they can continue their magic at rupp!

Actually this is Sherrill's 10th season at Bowling Green. He was hired for the 2005-06 season. Still impressive to win 5 region titles in 10 tries.

According to what I read, this is Coach Sherrill's 11th season and the statement that @Shadow Sun made is correct. He's been to 8 regional tournaments in those 11 seasons and won 5 of them. 2005-06 season was his first season @WKY , but that would make 2015-16 his 11th season.

It's still 5 championships in 11 tries though. The postseason starts with the district tournament so those tries count too. An impressive feat anyway. Coach Sherrill is in the middle of his own 4th region dynasty.

Coach Riley won 6 straight at Warren Central and that will be tested by D.G.

 

We have won three straight region titles. Next season Franklin Simpson & Russellville will be the biggest competition. After that Monroe County and Glasgow seem to be the biggest threats but it will take a monumental upset or significant injury for the Purples to not be at Rupp Arena through 2020.

5 in 8 trips to the finals. Every time he has made the 4th region tournament as a Bowling Green coach, he has made at least the finals and is 17-0 in the tournament against teams outside the 14th district. Also 5-4 in the state tournament with a final four and a runner up.
