Wow! Nice win Bird's

Wow. I guess Highlands is the real deal. Im surprized I thought Boone was better.

Good win for the Bluebirds!

Ugly game. Neither team looked good, and Boone looked terrible. I am not totally surprised by the result for reasons I don't care to discuss anymore. It was a VERY physical game. Earls did not have a good game for Boone. Nobody really stood out to me offensively on either team. Highlands sat in a zone in the second half, and Boone continued to try to pound the ball inside. Congrats to Highlands.

I thought Highlands would win this one. They are pretty tough.

With the zone buster in Scott Co. Did Boone have enough good outside shooters to pull the Birds out of the zone?

Good win for Highlands against what all accounts was a pretty solid Boone County squad.

Hard to say, they have rarely attempted 3's this year. Players look tentative when they do shoot them, and when they do, there's little rhythym or flow since they don't shoot them much. Only 1 or 2 3s were attempted until the last minute, when it didn't matter.

I don't understand why a kid would choose to be a bit player on SC where he could play a much larger role with kids he played with his whole HS career. To each his own I guess.

Wow regionals is going to be fun just to see who gets to play Holmes in the finals. There really is no clear cut second team.

Highlands v. Scott on 2/17 may well answer that question.

If winning is most important I can see it a little bit. Winning that state championship is very attracting. JMO

Isn't Scott in the 10th region????:idunno:

Not really. Highlands has already showed themselves to be very beatable (NCC). Scott has done the same, but is playing better ball as of late.
