Jim Schue Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Bethlehem's schedule looks to be pretty forgiving until Jan. 10, when they host Bardstown.
LVGambla32 Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 If South Oldham can win at Oldham County, could they run the table through the regular season?
B-Ball-fan Posted December 23, 2016 Author Posted December 23, 2016 LaRue Co. defeated Jackson Co. 66-55 in the Smokey Mountain Classic in Galinburg TN to remain unbeaten. Harlan Co. took care of Woodford Co. 62-46 in the Farmers Bank of Jessamine Co. to maintain their perfect record. Corbin will face Pleasure Ridge Park today @ 2:30 in their quest to remain undefeated. Region 5 Bethlehem - (8-0) LaRue County - (8-0) Region 8 South Oldham - (11-0) Region 12 Southwestern - (10-0) Region 13 Harlan County - (11-0) Corbin - (6-0) Region 16 Boyd Count - (8-1) Elliot County - (6-0)
MBKT Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 South Oldham has played a schedule right out of the Cupcake Conference. I would like to see them play some of the better teams in the 6th, 7th or 11th regions. They need to upgrade their schedule - otherwise they can dominate the 8th region all they want and fall early each trip to Rupp. Have they ever played the Ballards, Trinitys, Scott County's, Covington Catholics, Dunbars, Christian County's on a regular basis?
B-Ball-fan Posted December 23, 2016 Author Posted December 23, 2016 With Corbin having lost to Pleasant Ridge Park 78-66 there are now 7 teams who are undefeated against Kentucky competition, and 6 teams with no losses at all. Region 5 Bethlehem - (8-0) LaRue County - (8-0) Region 8 South Oldham - (11-0) Region 12 Southwestern - (10-0) Region 13 Harlan County - (11-0) Region 16 Boyd Count - (8-1) Elliot County - (6-0)
LVGambla32 Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Bethlehem: 12/28 vs Collegiate LaRue County: 12/28 vs Russell Co. South Oldham: 12/27 vs Shawnee Southwestern: 12/27 vs Jeffersontown Harlan County 12/27 vs Tates Creek Elliott Co. 12/27 vs Ravenwood, TN
Wireman Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Why does Boyd County make the list if they have a loss?
B-Ball-fan Posted December 25, 2016 Author Posted December 25, 2016 Why does Boyd County make the list if they have a loss? They haven't lost to any Kentucky teams, so in that they are still undefeated against Kentucky competition.
Wireman Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 They haven't lost to any Kentucky teams, so in that they are still undefeated against Kentucky competition. I got you. That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. I'd say that will change this coming week :thumb:
B-Ball-fan Posted December 25, 2016 Author Posted December 25, 2016 I got you. That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. I'd say that will change this coming week :thumb: We will see. To be perfectly honest I don't know much about Boyd Co. or the strength of their competition, but in about half of their victories so far they have dismantled their opponents and are averaging about 73 ppg. It doesn't appear that they've played anyone of any major significance so it's hard to wage just yet how good they are. Their next opponent is Owensboro Catholic in the Ashland Invitational, who historically puts competitive teams on the floor, so we shall soon get a better idea about them. Last season Christian Co. was the only undefeated team against Kentucky competition to enter post season play with a record of 24-2 before ultimately losing in the Quarterfinals of the Sweet 16 to South Laurel.
B-Ball-fan Posted December 28, 2016 Author Posted December 28, 2016 Boyd County from Region 16 lost their first game of the season against Kentucky competition to Owensboro Catholic 64-54 in the Ashland Invitational. South Oldham, Southwestern, and Harlan County continue their winning ways: South Oldham dismantled winless Shawnee 110-67 in the Mitchell F Irvin Classic Southwestern took care of Jeffersontown 81-57 in the Lake Cumberland Holiday Hoops Classic. Harlan County topped Tates Creek 68-44 in the Hyden Bank Christmas Tournament. Elliott County lost their first game of the season to Ravenwood, TN 64-57 in the King of the Smokies at Pigeon Forge, TN, but remain unbeaten against Kentucky competition. Region 5 Bethlehem - (8-0) LaRue County - (8-0) Region 8 South Oldham - (12-0) Region 12 Southwestern - (11-0) Region 13 Harlan County - (13-0) Region 16 Elliott County - (6-1)
B-Ball-fan Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 Bethlehem lost their first game of the season to Louisville Collegiate 53-47.
