Owensboro Catholic (27-7) will take on Bethlehem (29-4) in the second session at Rupp on Wednesday, March 13 at 1:30pm.

 

Who wins, and why?

After what I saw from Bethlehem last night, I don't know what to expect. Still pretty shocked at how that went down.

I thought Bethlehem could hang with E’town, but probably lose by 10 points, like Bardstown did. I’m not the only one by a long shot. Given the school’s limited postseason success history, that would’ve been a job well done and let’s see what happens next year with most everyone back. Pats on the back for all involved for making history.

 

Bethlehem did something altogether different by dominating a team that was undefeated in the region, ranked as high as No. 3 in the state. I’m not sure entirely what to make of it because of how surprising it is, but it seems they didn’t want to wait for next year.

Bethlehem moving on. Momentum.

OC will win. Bethlehem is good but I imagine the big stage might bother them.

That’s possible, but maybe not. While Bethlehem doesn’t have much of a history of girls’ hoops success, most of the girls on the team also play for their very successful soccer team, so they are not strangers to the big stage. Getting in a couple games at the All A Classic also helps.
