The top seeded Lady Owls defeated Lee County 81-45 in the 56th district’s opening round at Powell County. They advance to Wednesday’s championship game vs Estill County, who defeated Powell County 42-28 in the second game. 

I think the Lady Owls make it all the way to Rupp!!  Enjoy the ride, @The Professor.

I certainly hope so Double Deuce. They came so close in 2022 losing on a last second shot by 1 point in overtime to Letcher Central. The Lady Owls have been runner up twice, in 1988 and ‘22. With a high school enrollment of 188, which is small for a public school, to win Owsley’s first ever basketball region (boys have been twice runner up too…1983 and ‘85) would be simply awesome. Our little county would lose its mind, lol. The regional tournament is in 56th district territory this year in Irvine and that will cut down on bus time travel. When it’s in Hazard, Hindman Whitesburg and Hyden it’s a long drive to the venues.
