  1. Estill has underachieved all season long. I think many felt that they could possibly be the best team in the 14th coming into this year. They are decent, but I doubt that they are a threat in the 14th and would not be surprised if they are knocked off in the first round of the 56th district tourny.
  2. I heard the Neeley is coming back to the team. Can anyone verify?
  3. Hazard is still one of the favorites to win the 14th.
  4. KIDSFAN we all know you like to run Coach Dean down. The fact is, he is one of the top coaches in the mountains, and Oz Jackson, one of the most highly respected AD's in the mountains recognized it and hired him as coach at Letcher. It is just a matter of time before he breaks through and wins the big one as you say. The problem I have with your downing of coach Dean is how you are fine with promoting such coaches as Coach Wright of Lee Co. (Basketball) as one of the top coaches and yet he has never even won a district, but find it as acceptable to continually trash Bryan Dean on a public forum. He has one of the most impressive records in the 14th during his tenure. If anyone has any question about his coaching ability I suggest you ask his former bosses in Burley Hudson (Breathitt) or Gene Combs(Lee), or even some of his former players, including Logan Billings. I am sure that they will vouch for Coach Dean and his talent. I personnally find it tiresome to listen at your personal rants and suggest that you give it a rest.
  5. Doubtful that Owsley wins another game this season.
  6. Owsley must have played hard to keep the game this close. I would assume that it is a very down time in Booneville these days. I guess you would have to go back to the mid-70's or farther to find an Owsley Co. team that struggled as much as the team this year. From what I have heard, the future is not much brighter.
  7. I fear that the damage has already been done. From what I hear, both the middle school and JV teams struggled at Owsley this season. With the graduation of Robert Smith and the uncertainty surrounding Daniel Neeley, next year could be a very long year for the Owls. If Coach Smith does not return, the new coach will have a very difficult task in front of them. I feel that it will be difficult to find someone that has a proven track record to want to be put in that position. If Owsley settles on a young coach without experience, they will have to be careful that they find the right person who will work to rebuild the once proud program, and will be willing to perservere through the obstacles that will inevitably be in their way.--- All this being said, I do not see Owsley Co. putting up the money to create a position in order to bring in some one to be basketball coach. If Coach Smith does leave, they will probably hire from within.
  8. If Owsley keeps Coach Smith they will have stability.
  9. With Estill moving into the 56th, it will be the toughest. Estill, Powell and Lee will all be contenders in the 14th. The 54th with Perry, Leslie and Hazard will also be tough and could argued that it is the toughest district.
  10. Huge game tonight in Beattyville. The number 1 seed in the 56th up for grabs. Lee Co. gets the top spot with a victory or 2 point loss. Estill gets the top spot with a 4 point win. With all the turmoil @ Owsley (4 seed) right now, I am sure that both of these teams highly covet the number 1 seed. Should be interest to see how Lee Co. responds after such an emotional roller coaster of the last couple weeks. Many teams suffer from a post-All 'A' let-down. It will be a great game.
  11. Once again it will probably come down to the draw. Last year, there is no way that Perry beats Hazard at Hazard. They draw heads-up in the district at Perry-- Perry wins and goes on to win the region. ---- This year I feel that the 56th (Estill and Lee) and the 54 (all teams) will place 2 teams capable of winning it in the region. The 53 and 55 are a little weaker and depending on the draw may not place the best two teams in the tournament. I feel that the winners of the 54th or 56th that draw a loser of the 53 or 55 will be the favorite.--- However, if Knott comes out as a loser in the 53, I am sure that no one will want to play them at Knott. --- So, to sum things up, I think just about anyone can win.
  12. Just read post 37. I just don't want this thread to turn into the last Owsley/Lee game thread. It wasn't pretty. A lot of accusations and disparaging remarks. I just think that Lee played great last night and deserve all the credit. Owsley and its players should not be condemned for being shut down by the efforts of Lee Co.
