The Williamburg upset over McCreary central got me thinking and I was curious. What is the worst record held by a team that won their paticular region and advanced to the Sweet 16?? The Mercer County team that went to state about 6-8 years ago was like 14-16 I believe, it was when Joe White was a freshman I believe maybe 1999-00. Should be interesting.

Scott County 22-10

I remember the Mercer Co. team, I think they had the worst record at a few games under .500. Also I believe there have been about 5 teams at .500 or worse make it. I know they are listed in the Sweet 16 program. I think Barren Co. had a pretty bad record a few years before the Warren Central run started in the 4th.

I remember Mercer Co went a few years ago and I remember them.

Barren finished 24-8 that year, not too shabby.

I think one of the mountain teams (possibly Hazard) had a bad record in the 2005-2006 Sweet 16. I could be way off base though.

Cumberland was 16-13 when heading to Rupp in 2003.......defeating a 24-4 Rockcastle team in the finals..........:ylsuper:

This is from the state tournament program from 2006. I've listed teams from the modern era:

 

1984, Scott County (13-16)

2000, Mercer County (15-17)

1987, Rowan County (15-16)

1989, Oldham County (16-16)

Williamsburg didn't upset McCreary, eastbank.

Gosh is that accurate? I remember that Rowan team as being pretty solid. I would have thought their record was much better....

I remember that season in the 13th.

I remember Scott Co beat a 33 win NCC team in the 1st round. I believe they were lead by Frank Persley.

If that is the team that beat NCC in 1984, that was a HUGE upset; the NCC team was ranked first in the state for a large portion of the season. I think they only had 1 loss, then they got to Lexington and things went haywire and they got knocked out in the first round. I just didn't recall who it was that knocked them out.

It was Scott Co.

Am I right about NCC being ranked no. 1 and only having 1 loss that year going into the Sweet 16?
