Rebs!!

Just saw on twitter that Pulaski won also tonight, beat West Jess. Should be a good one between Maroons and Rebs.

Should be. Boyle gave Pulaski all they wanted for about 3.5 quarters before falling by nine when they played on January 3.

Great win for the Rebels....looks like the younglings are growing up!

All the pressure will be on Pulaski in the semifinals. The Rebels have already exceeded expectations. I hope they come out loose and play well.

Coach Adams gets it done in the Regional Tournament. They made SW grind it out defensively, and those long jump shots don't always flow as freely in tournament play.

Also, very impressed with Alexander's progression as a player. Showed a lot of grit/toughness last night.

Rebels crash the party: Boyle County holds off top-scoring Southwestern | The Advocate-Messenger

Should be. Boyle gave Pulaski all they wanted for about 3.5 quarters before falling by nine when they played on January 3.

 

They gave that game away and as much as I hate moral victories I do feel like that is the game that changed their mindset as a team. I could be wrong but I feel like they learned that night how good they can be if they execute on both sides of the ball. They seemed to become a different team mentally after that game IMO.

A key like it always is against PC is limiting the easy paint touches that Fitzgerald/Sylvester get. I expect an excellent game.

Live...and ultimately die by the 3 ball. No real big surprise here. Great win for the Rebs.

This was a great game by the REBS. They showed a lot of heart and came out an excuted the game plan that Coach Adam and Coaches had planned.

Baby J 22/5 and popped his shoulder out of place twice. Didn't leave the floor.

 

IMO.. The most improved player in the 12th. Obvious he's been working at it. Also in my (not so significant) opinion, less Bryce Slone step back 3's + more driving to the rim from Reese Smith and Baby J = More success for BOCO. Lot of respect for Adams and the Rebs. Good luck fellas.
