Owls led by 2 after first quarter, Breathitt by 2 at the half then just increased their lead in 3rd and 4th.

This game wasnt really a game. Breathitt looked like they were messing with the Owls players in the first half. The second half rolled around and Breahtitt seemed to turn it on, the full court press killed Owsley and they had many turn over cause by it. But its a good solid win for the bobcats.

The game that I was at was just that a game. Breathitt never was really able to pull away. They got several 15-17 point leads in the second half but Owsley was able to pull it back close each time. Owsley was only down 11 points with 1 30 left but some costly turnovers proved fateful.

 

I have seen Breathitt play several times this year, and they are one of the top 5 teams in the region. But their lack of consistency will prove fateful.

I was also at the game tonight and i thought that breathitt was really playing the first half. Like i said the second half rolled around and the cat began pressing the owls and the owls feel apart.

Big crowd, as always when these two neighbors play. The Owls led for most of the first half, but Breathitt pulled away in the second half.

I had to work late and didn't get to drive to Booneville. How did the bobcats look. Do they look ready for district and regional play?

I think that Breathitt County has been playing around with people better watch out for the bobcats.:ylsuper:

I agree. If Hollon wouldnt of been hitting from 3pt line then Breathitt never would of been able to lead at half or pull away at he end. Hollon scored 19 of the 31 to go into the half (four 3's).Hollon was the only one that didnt seem to have trouble scoring since the bal couldn't got o Smith in the middle to set up their usual offense.

Breathitt went on runs with and without the press but never could seem to stick the dagger in th heart. The tripple on Smith really bothered Breathitt's inside/out game. Breathitt relied on outside shooting and forced turnovers. If the Owls could of handled the press this game would of been tight. I know in reality the Owls dont have the ballhandlers but the turnovers were the difference in the game. Breathitt forced at least 20 turnovers and only won by 11 pts. Smith hustled but never could see daylight on the offense end but returned the favor on the defensive end.

 

IMO Breathitt is a better team than Owsley but "playing with", i dont believe so.Breathitt didnt play around with Owsley and just walk away with an 11 pt vitory which the lead never got out of reach. Breathitt isnt a power house team that can win a game just by entering the gym. The Owls' player didnt seem to be intimidated at all. Seemed to me that without Hollon's scoring capability Breathitt may have been in trouble:sssh: And tis just may be a problem down the road when it comes tournament time:sssh:

Who has Breathitt played around with in this region??? Breathitt is 12-3 in the region but Breathitt have only beat 5 different teams in this region over 10pts. They have either been beaten or won under 10 pts in 9 regional games. Without playing Perry or Powell which is 2 of the top five in this region and they have also loss to both June B and Hazard(also beat Hazard) which is the other 2 of the top five teams in this region,imo. I'm not meaning anything negative toward Breathitt's team because they are 12-3 and that speaks for itself but I'm just wondering what you mean by , "PLAYING AROUND WITH PEOPLE":confused:

maybe a little :banana: though............lol

After a questionable foul on Justin Hollan in the first quarter, where a player tripped over his own feet and fell, Justin seemed to get a little angry and began to play like Justin can play. He was hitting everything last night. Ryan Allen also had a pretty good night. This game for the most part was close, but no one felt like Breathitt was going to lose, atleast i didn't. I thought it was a pretty physical game. In my opinion Breathitt needs to play with a little bit of fire come district and region time. If the boys in blue can play with a little bit of an attitude then this team could be very tough to beat. Good Luck in the next few weeks. Go Blue!!!!

I think you better recheck your score. Thr bobcats won by 17 points 80-63. You must have been at the wrong game.:banana: :banana: :banana:

I agree. People have been putting breathitt down all year. The people that are arguing must not have a very good ball team where they come from so they think they can bash everyone else's. :dancingpa :laugh:

No i was at the right game just typed in the wrong total score, thanks. I'm not saying that Breathit isnt a good team but I dont think they are capable of playing around with any team in this regions top 10 and walk away with a victory. No doubt Breathitt is a better team than Owsley , that has been proven twice. But by watching them play a couple times I see them as a definate top 5 but in my top 3, just imo.

Maybe i am seeing this wrong, maybe Breathitt is just playing around with everyone and come tournament time they are gonna let the Bobcats' dominate side show, i just havent seen this side yet but the potential may be there.

I didnt get to watch the game last night but by looking at the line scores in the paper Hollan and Ritchie was the only 2 that could score for the bobcats...The bobcats are just playing around with people it sounds like, this team will be tuff come tournament time...but they better no try to play around with no 1 come march...they will go home soon if they do. Good luck to all teams in the 14th:thumb:
