Bourbon County is always tough at home. Teams perhaps have a difficult time adjusting to their floor. This score really did surprise me.

Wow, there have been some huge statements made about the Lady Indians on here tonight. Granted they didn't play their best tonight and Bourbon did everything they needed to to pull off the upset but their are some big statements being made about how good they really are. Let's take a look at the Montgomery Co. resume so far:

 

5-1 in district play

Have beaten: E-town, Mercy, Notre Dame Academy, Shelby Co., Simon Kenton and Clay Co.

losses: Dunbar, Lex. Catholic (twice, both at Cathoic), Pike Central and Bourbon Co. all on the road.

 

Tonight they were without a key player in Webb that would've been a great help on Norton or Livingood.

 

Now someone put up a comparable resume for another team in the region. I have to take up for the lady Indians on this one, as good as Mason Co. is there is no comparing the strength of schedule and results at this point. Now we will get to see the head to head match up next week but I don't think that Webb will still be available then so we may never know unless the teams are fortunate enough to make it to Regional play and match up again but at this point no one can question the Lady Indians or their toughness. They've played more top teams then most teams play in two or three season with much success. Coach Robinson is doing a fine job considering the pressure that has to be on her to excel.

 

Now tell me another team in the Region that comes close to that resume and

 

 

 

I think the Lady Indians are the best in the region...I think they could play on Saturday morning easily...I also think they can win it all. I like Coach Robinson very much.

 

This team has been to the state tournament 3 years in a row. Its easy to lose your edge....the ole "eye of the tiger".

 

Talent alone won't win the region. Montgomery can win the region, but they can't be satisfied with the past. I don't want them to let this season get away from them.

Bourbon County is always tough at home. Teams perhaps have a difficult time adjusting to their floor. This score really did surprise me.

 

What is wrong with their floor?

All In, the Bourbon Co. floor isn't a hardwood surface, it is what they call a "Tartan" floor which is a synthetic rubberized surface. It's very unique and some players have said they didn't like it, some believe it helps them jump better, so on and so forth. A floor burn is a floor burn regardless the surface! Haha!:flame:

Yes, but from experience, a fall on this floor just flat out hurts worse! haha.

Now tell me another team in the Region that comes close to that resume and

 

The resume is nice but it means nothing during the post season. When it comes to the Region Tourney, a good team with a good resume could get beat just like any other team. Bourbon County just proved that. And had Paris hit free throws, Montgomery County would have 2 District losses. I wouldn't get wrapped up in the resume. Just ask Tom Brady and the New England Patriots about a season resume. Montgomery County is the favorite to represent the 40th in Bowling Green but they haven't been given the Regional Champion Trophy yet.

This is surprising to say the least. Should make for an interesting district!

I believe my earlier statement was taken out of context. I wasn't saying Montgomery was going to win the Region just because they've played the tougher schedule, that would be ridiculous of me or anyone else to say but what I am trying to say is Montgomery has virtually played a season full of big games and that sometimes takes toll on teams over a long season and playing Bourbon Co., a team that they hadn't lost to in some time, a well coached team with 2 outstanding players, that they may have been overlooked and it didn't affect Montgomery's seed in the district at all. Montgomery had already lock up the #1 seed. Montgomery is the team with the target on the back night in and night out in this region. So anyone that thought I was punching Montgomery's ticket to Bowling Green took my statement out of context.

 

By the way Montgomery beat Sacred Heart at Sacred Heart tonight just proof that they still are a top notch team to win at their place.

Very shocking score!

Do you know the final?

I believe I heard it was by 2, maybe 62-60

Yeah, that's right. I just posted a thread about it.

The 40th District is probably the toughest District in state. I don't think Montgomery overlooked Bourbon County. I think that Bourbon County just beat them. I don't think that Montgomery County overlooked Paris. I think Paris played a great game and had the chance to win against Montgomery in the final minutes and just came up short. That tells me that the competition in the 40th District is not too far apart. I don't think that Montgomery's tough schedule had anything to do with the loss at Bourbon. Paris has a regular season schedule just as tough or tougher. Montgomery is the favorite but I wouldn't be too terrible surprised if Clark, Bourbon, or Paris knocked them off. That's all I was saying.

 

And congrats on the win over Sacred Heart. Way to bounce back.

The 40th may be tough, but I think you forgot about that district just up the road that includes Lex Cath, Dunbar, and Lex Christian.... now that my friends is the toughest district in the state when you have 3 top 10 teams and one of you wont even make the region...ouch!

Yeah, I agree with you on that. :thumb:
