I'll go with the Devils by 5, it'll be hard to play Harrison County on their home court though.

DEMING wins this game behind Coach Johnson

It would be pretty cool for Deming to go into the Regional tourney as a district winner.

We lost to Harrison County on Dec. 15 72-62, in that game Coach Johnson set out the starting 5 because of their less then steller play and put in subs got down by 25, put the starting 5 back in and if we had some extra time it could've been a different outcome, they cameback with in 10. I think the boys get what he's tried to them all year.

But they gained 15 points on HC's subs....I'll take the Breds by 17.

I will go with Deming in a close one 72-70 Good Luck to Coach Johnson and his young men from Mt. Olivet Bring home a District Title!!!!!!

'Breds by 15...

Coach Jonson leads Deming to its 1st District title since 1994.

I will have to take the experienced coach Lee Kendall in this one even though I have never seen Deming play. Breds by 12.

Devils 56-51

Deming 62

Harrison 56

 

Close and long game. Good luck Deming!

[i]Interesting comparison's between Deming and Harrison Co.[/i]

within the 10th region, Deming has played: Augusta, St. Pat, Bracken, Nicholas, Montgomery, Harrison, and Silver Grove (several of these opponents they played twice)

 

Within the 10th Region, Harrison has played: Nicholas, Scott, Brossart,Bracken, Deming, Pendleton, Mason, Paris, Bourbon, Clark, Montgomery

Outside the 10th region, Deming has played: Grant, Betsy layne, Fleming, Lewis, Louisville Collegiate, Calvary Christian, Model, Berea, Heritage Academy, and Covington Latin

Outside the 10th Region, Harrison has played: Woodford, North Oldham, Waggener, Leslie, Grant, Owsley, Hopkins Central, Henry Clay, Tates Creek, Madison Central, Boyd Co., and Franklin Co.

Common Opponents: Nicholas Co ---HC won both, 84-57, 71-40; Deming played them 4 times, winning 3 (75-50, 78-60, 60-49) and losing 1 (73-72).

Montgomery Co. --- Nicholas lost 72-40; Harrison won 41-40

Bracken Co. --- Deming played 3 times, going 2-1 (won 60-56, 58-56 and lost 67-56; Harrison won 65-55

Grant Co. --- Deming lost 71-57; Harrison won 77-54

Augusta --- Deming went 0-2, losing 69-51 and 64-61; Harrison won 76-65

Paris --- Deming lost 70-66; Harrison won 63-50.

 

Certainly, you can throw out the records when the post-season begins, but it is fairly clear that HC has played the much tougher schedule and has fared far better against common opponents.

 

HC didn't win many against those tough out of region opponents, but playing that kind of competition will surely prepare them for post-season play much better than playing a weaker schedule.

 

There shouldn't be any pressure on either team, as both will move on to Maysville next week.

 

I would be surprised if Deming beats Harrison Co. Harrison Co. might beat themselves by playing poorly, but I believe the regular season schedule will pay off and the Breds will win, 64-49.

 

Deming has some good quality players...it would help them immensely if they beefed up their schedule just a bit. Sprinkle in a Clark Co. or a Cov. Scott, or a Brossart...not enough to kill Deming's confidence, but enough to give them a taste of playing traditionally good "bigger" schools.

 

Maybe I am totally off base here. I can remember Mason Co. in the 1980s had an undefeated regular season, and never played outside the 10th Region...maybe one or two games. They won the 10th Region that year, as well, I think.

Calvary Christian is in the 10th:thumb:

But they gained 15 points on HC's subs....I'll take the Breds by 17.

There is always doubters, which will make their victory sweeter.

What a feather in the cap for Coach Johnson when the Devils win tonights championship, he has a win under his belt at Rupp Arena last year when he subsituted for Coach Massey, goin' to the region his first year as coach and then winning the 38th District Title. What a way to come in his first year and have a finish like that. Congrats Jamey.:dancingpa
