Sacred Heart vs. Bethlehem Predictions/Updates (KHSAA Girls' Sweet 16®)

[16thBBall Fan]

This is the first game of tomorrow night's evening session of the girls state quarterfinals. The Sacred Heart Valkyries (28-7) take on the Bethlehem Banshees (27-8). This will be tall task for the girls of Bethlehem taking on Sacred Heart who has not lost a game vs. a Kentucky opponent in the last 2 seasons. These teams have not played each other this season, but they did play 4 common good opponents. Those 4 teams were Pikeville, Manual, Frederick Douglass, and Owensboro Catholic. Against those 4 teams Bethlehem was 2-2 and Sacred Heart was 4-0 and defeated each of those team by 18+. I don't see the Valkyries losing this one, but that is why they play the games.

Don’t underestimate the Banshees!

Most of these Banshees slayed the Valkyrie Dragon on the pitch….to capture the Soccer State Championship. I think because of that they walk in here with some moxie.

Isn’t March fun???? Non stop action, BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR!!!!

Close for a while....then not all that close.
 

The only team that will / could keep it within 10 of SHA is Cooper in the semis.  Otherwise, it is the Sacred Heart Invitational held at Rupp Arena.  Again.

This one could be heading to running clock it is 57-31 with 1:23 left in the 3rd quarter. What could be even bigger is that they are going to be able to rest their starters.
