Seed #4 upsets a #1.

 

Dawson Springs lost to Hopkins County Central by 37 points and 26 points in the regular season!

This will also be the first time that Dawson Springs has gone to the regional tournament since 1997. I would be curious to see their shooting percentage tonight. Seems like they could do no wrong.

Has to be satisfying after losing twice by those margins.

What!!!??? Was HCC missing players or what?

Central had all its players. Their coach told me before the game that the teams had been nearly tied at half-time of both regular season games...and that Dawson's guards could shoot the lights out. It seemed the Panthers could do no wrong, and Hopkins County Central could just not get untracked.

 

Interestingly, the Storm's head coach...Lee James...played high school ball at Dawson Springs.

 

The last time Dawson Springs won a game in the district tournament was, indeed, twenty years ago when they beat Madisonville on a last second shot...and were winners in (what was) a three-team district. Now they will play the Maroons again for the title.

Actually, Dawson Springs beat HCC in 2006 on a neutral floor @ Caldwell County to play North Hopkins for the title. Been 11 years of drought for their school which has an enrollment 6X less than HCC and MNH.

Right you are, Train. My bad.
