The last two times Holmes has faced an opponent in the Region championship, that beat them in the regular season had the following results:

 

04/05

Regular Season- Conner 75 Holmes 74 (OT)

Region Championship- Holmes 53 Conner 39

 

07/08

Regular season/District- Covcath 42-41; Covcath 46-42; Covcath 53-50

Region Championship- Holmes 72 Covcath 60

 

Not that it matters, but a little history lesson. Coach Henley knows how to prepare his teams for a region title game after a team beat them in the regular season.

Section 112 row AA seat 9 A and I can't wait and if Scott (Kenton) can win their game on Monday and get to play Mason County in the 6pm game, the BOKC will be rocking and maybe be close to being sold out......

How much does the arena hold? But in this one I look for Holmes to squeak out a 3 point win.

Boone Co 49

Holmes 47

9400.

 

If Holmes and Scott are both playing in the finals Tuesday night, the arena will EASILY be close to capacity.

Holmes by 2 on a buzzer beater.

Holmes by 3.

As for the game:

 

I think Holmes wins and gets revenge on Boone from earlier in the year. It's tough to beat a team as good as Holmes twice in one season, which was shown when Holmes played Bryan Station in a rematch and blew them out of the gym.

 

I really don't think the Dogs will lose focus in this one. Coach Henley has coached in 3 of the last 4 region championship games, which is going to be an advantage in Holmes' favor. Let's also not forget that Pittman played hurt the 1st game and was really having his way with the Rebels before injuring his wrist and becoming virtually a non factor the rest of the game.

 

I think Boone keeps it close throughout but Holmes pulls away at the end. When it's all said and done, I see the Dogs cutting down the nets and Ricardo Johnson "one upping" his 9th region tourney team selection from last year with a 9th region tourney MVP award.

I really thought Gabbard took Riley out of his game in the 1st meeting, and it was a huge factor in Boone winning. I'll be watching that one closely...

The Dogs by 9

Boone by 10!!

Boone by 12 !!!
