Oldham County (13-4) takes on district 29 rival North Oldham (7-10) in the boy's 8th Region finals.

Oldham County will be making its 9th appearance in 16 years in the championship game.   The Colonels have won three titles in the last 10 years.   

North Oldham will be making its first-ever appearance in the title game.

Oldham defeated North, 81-72, in the regular season and again in the District 29 championship, 70-55.   

 

Oldham County leads the all-time series between these two teams, 21-8, and the Colonels have won the last 10 meetings, including two this year:

OC 81, NO 72 at North 1/22/21

OC 70, NO 55 at Oldham 3/17/21 (29th district championship)

These two have never met in region tournament play before.

 

Too much experienced talent for Oldham County in this one. North Oldham plays a lot of sophomores. I think it will make a difference tonight. The Colonels should be a huge favorite and it will be a big upset should North Oldham win.
