Just curious, but how could HC have been playing Holmes in the first round of the regional when they are from the same district? They would have been in opposite brackets.

Has to be one of the biggest or the biggest upset in district tournament history

They weren't in the same district then. HC was in the 34th and Holmes was in the 35th.

It didn't last too long, probably between 5 & 10 years. HC had their greatest run in history during that time, making the regionals almost every year. Also went to the region finals 4 times in that stretch between '89 and '94, winning it twice.

Eventually, Holmes was put back and it is tougher than ever to get out of the district now with Holmes & CCH again.

In 1999 or 2000, No. 4 seed Somerset upended South Laurel in 1st roumd of 48th District Tourney. The Cards were favored to win the region that year.

Tomorrow night at Holy Cross. OK, can't a guy dream a little?

1999-2000 year for the Somerset upset of South Laurel. I remember South being over 20 points higher than the next team in the 12th in the Cantrall rankings. Mercer County ended up going to Rupp that year if I recall correctly.

Yup, first round of Regional. Other starter was Tony Jarmon and Fred Conrad was the sixth man.

 

Before Holy Cross pulled that stunner, NewCath almost pulled off the greatest District Tourney upset when Holmes beat them by one, 56-55 (I think). You'd think Holmes would have learned there lesson from that game, but they didn't.

Yep, it was almost a given South Laurel would win a region. It was also a bitter pill to swallow because Shawn Thacker (Somerset coach at the time) was just a year removed from being an assistant at South Laurel.

Tomorrow night? Do you mean Friday?
