Final.

Pulaski and Wayne both go out in the 12 Region tonight...wow!

When was the last time that you seen Pulaski and Wayne not in the 12 Regional tournament.  Like people have been saying, the years 12 region is open for the taking.

Coach Fraley has never missed the regional tournament as head coach of the Maroons. 

In 1987 the 12th Region looked a lot different.  If Lincoln doesn't make the Region, that would be another giant slayed.

1987 12th Region tournament bracket. Tournament was played at Pulaski County. Harrodsburg, Danville, Monticello, and Casey won first round games. In the semifinals, Harrodsburg beat Danville (54-53) and Monticello beat Casey County (75-72). Monticello, led by coach Wade Upchurch, beat Harrodsburg in the finals, 63-57.

Both Harrodsburg and Monticello are now closed. Laurel County split into North and South and both moved to the 13th while Russell County moved to the 4th.

interesting side note to that tournament is West Jessamine’s Head Coach, Steve Adams, was an Assistant for that Harrodsburg team.

The 12th region had a lot of small schools that rarely made the regional tournament.  Up until 1981 Pulaski County alone had 6 (Somerset, PC, Shopville, Eubank, Nancy, and Burnside).  Burnside had some good teams and could compete on a regional level but most of them were limited to two or three good players.  Usually, it was Somerset or PC coming out of that district.

• Burnside played in 4 regionals, the last in 1972. Their best finish was semifinalists in 1968 and 1972.
• Eubank played in 2 regionals, the last in 1957. In both appearances (1937 and 1957) they were semifinalists.
• Ferguson played in 8 regionals, the last in 1962 (they closed in 1968). The 1960 team lost to Bush in the semifinals, their only trip beyond the first round.
• Nancy made the regional just one time, falling to Danville in the first round in 1950.
• Science Hill played in 7 regionals, finishing runners-up in 1926 and 1943. Their last appearance was in 1948; the high school closed in 1953.
• Shopville made the regional just once as well, beating Middleburg in the first round before falling to Somerset in 1949.

This is a big chance for Rockcastle now. They haven't won a regional tournament game in over 20 years. Appeared plenty of times but have always failed to advance past game 1. In fact, the last time they won one was in 2004 when they were still in the 13th region and made it all the way to the Sweet 16.

The dynamics of the 45th district has changed dramatically over the last 3 seasons.   Since DCA has become a dominant powerhouse in the district and region for that matter it’s very difficult to make it out of the 45th.  To my knowledge DCA has only lost 1 district game in 3 years and very few games in the region.  It will be a tall task (literally) for Lincoln to pull off the upset but not impossible!

I would agree with that. DCA is not untouchable this season though. They have shown they are vulnerable. They have lost twice in the region and had a slew of games that could've went in the other direction two of which were against Lincoln County.
