Fourtimes

Yeah Big James Douglas on that 92 team. I think he went to New Orleans..Great tourney that year

It does seem that they may be peaking but those teams in the region they played were not as good as Collins, I agree that if its a run and gun it favors the Red Devils

That's ballgame.

Manuals done

1992 Team was good, Final Four team lost to UHA the eventual state champion..but yeah def best team since 1996, which had Mr. Basketball Brandon Davenport, that team also lost to eventual state champ Paintsville

Nice first half for Manual

Only 3 times this since the turn of the century, and 6 times since the 70s has the #1 team in the final AP regular season poll won the title.

I think Ballard is certainly the favorite, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them go down in the finals like they have 4 times in the last 12 years (or even in the finals of the region).

Can i ask where to get that info..final ap poll..id like too check things out like that..very interesting fact and thanks in advance

I like the current system..adds a mystique to it..East meets West or Mountain meets City, just hate too see tradition messed with.

Coach Gaither has a knack for beating good teams. He's always prepared with a great game plan.

Owensboro has had a tendency to play lethargic against some teams, at this point they should be ready for anything, they gave up about 10 3 pointers to Harrisburg (IL) , and probobly more than that to Wayne County...So defending the 3 should be a hot point with Coach Drake.

Knott by 15

Next year should be a Paulos year in the third region in my opinion

Apollo's year...lol..auto correct

I don't think Collins will be looking for any Hail Mary payback, but North Oldham might. Collins beat the Devils 50-14 the year before.

Collins had a 4-7 record this past year...didn't recall much talk about them

Next year should be a Paulo's year in the third region in my opinion

IMO, University of southern Indiana would be a great fit for him top level D2 school possibly even Kentucky Wesleyan...i'm sure Happy Osborne would be happy to have him and Kenja Bosley on the back court

Thanks for the information this was a very informative post to my put on the

I'd like Holman to do well and the beast , Miller who has a great moves underneath and is a huge body...if he has a good game it will give Owensboro a good shot at moving on.

Tempo will be key..does Collins shoot the 3 pretty well? If so that will offset the running game a little bit

Collins by 14

Does O'boro have the most Sweet Sixteen appearances? If not, I believe they have to be close.

Yes..and tied with several other teams for 3rd most titles with 4

1917

1949

1972

1980

I was wondering where you all were getting Catholic from. . I went back and changed it.

I do that all the time..lol..thanks for posting the thread..should be a nail biter..I like Collins by 12

Wow 30 point win.

Wonder if the press was a factor...Owensboro used to use the press a lot in the Bobby Watson days

Owensboro Catholic. by 89

Next Wednesday (March 18th) from Rupp Arena 12 PM. Winner will face, Taylor County/Region 2 Winner.

 

Collins (26-8) averaging 58.5 points per game while allowing 53.4 points per game.

 

Owensboro (27-4) averaging 71.5 points per game while allowing 55.4 points per game

 

Predictions?

I'd take Catholic but not sure I can

Apollo had a 20 point lead in the third quarter?

Zoinks. Ever heard of holding the ball.

Congrats..1st region final will be a close one I think..Calloway is tough

Should be an interesting game..Hopkinsville should get em..but its a crazy 2nd region
