Hoops Junkie Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Do any 9th region or NKY teams compete in this? How are the regions broken up and who from NKY would even qualify as 2A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole 2A thing is the best kept secret in NKY as well as the whole Commonwealth in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty certain the girls play between the boys games with a break between afternoon and night sessions, which is a good plan. And from what I've heard, the crowds are pretty sparse, especially from schools that are several hours away. Its still a good tournament for those size schools and Owensboro is a nice host. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about the boys/girls spacing. Agree that Owensboro does a nice job hosting. The city is all in on this and the SportsCenter is perfect for the size crowds these games will attract. I think they do an even better job with the 2A baseball and softball tournaments - the facilities are very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachb110 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Lexington Catholic deserves to be the favorite, but there are a few other teams in this tournament who look pretty good on paper. I've only seen DeSales play. They are the smallest team in the tournament (enrolment wise) but they have decent size in their squad. They are accustomed to playing good competition so they shouldn't feel intimidated. They may have the best chance of the upset if they play well. Mason Co. and Taylor Co. also have pretty good W/L records, but their competition may not have been as strong ( I really don't know since I haven't actually seen them).

montana16 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I agree that Catholic is the favorite but my dark horse in the race has to be the Cardinals from Taylor Co. Coach Irvin has done a fantastic job with this group and if they get hot look out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
