If Owen doesn't win, who would be your pick?

If not Owen, then who?

This honestly might be unwarranted hype/overrating, but after seeing Owen County play in the summer and early fall, I think they should be top 10, at the very least top 15. Seeing their team play really silences everyone who thought that this team is just Carson Williams. He is obviously the main reason they are the favorite in the 8th, but they would still be an 8th region contender without him.

Toftness and Mcdonald are pretty decently sized. Around 6'0~ for each.

Shelby doesn't pass too often but when they do they can make some big plays and catch an unsuspecting defense off guard (see Bullitt East game.)

According to KHSAA.org, John Hardin gives up nearly 3500 yards rushing on the year. They could be in for a rude awakening against option-heavy Shelby.

Most Likely. The only team that they've played that's even close to Shelby on a talent scale (obviously excluding SW) is Central Hardin, who admittedly aren't too far behind.

it's common in Shelbyville. Last year Collins had a pep bus to virtually every away basketball game in the playoffs

Do you have a source/link with more detail? I heard that the SCHS principal announced it over the morning announcement but that it was tentative/speculative.

I would say SK, but they're record makes them seem like a favorite without reading between the lines.

Recieved word that some Collins families will come out to support the Rockets since many of them attended the school before the split.

There should be a bylaw requiring Home and Visitors to be seated on seperate sides of the field. Nobody should have to deal with that.

Shelby would get dominated and that's no fun. :lol2:

I really wish FS can upset South Warren. This would be a heck of a matchup for Shelby to play.

Rumors going around that the Shelby County Student Section convinced administration to set aside a bus to transport the students from Shelbyville to Elizabethtown. Certainly hope that it's more than a rumor.

IF, and ONLY IF Shelby defends against the pass MUCH better than they did against Collins, they should win.

1st Region: Paducah Tilghman 2nd Region: Christian County 3rd Region: Meade County 4th Region: Bowling Green 5th Region: Taylor County 6th Region: Bullitt East 7th Region: Ballard 8th Region: Shelby County 9th Region: Covington Catholic 10th Region: Campbell County 11th Region: Paul Laurence Dunbar 12th Region: Mercer County 13th Region: Clay County 14th Region: Perry County Central 15th Region: Lawrence County 16th Region: Elliott County Championship Game: Mercer County vs Taylor County 2016 Sweet 16 State Champion: Taylor County

Plenty of taunting from both sides on twitter.. I definitely hope all of Shelbyville shows up, even if it does make traffic a nightmare.

Yes, but winning the toughest district arguably in all 6 classes, with momentum on their side, I believe it is possible. It will definitely take 110% effort though.

Our 2013 team was very run-of-the-mill. Manica was only a sophomore and Zach Shipley had just graduated the year before. They had a so-so record of 6-5 while getting blown out in the second round by John Hardin. Our best win was against a barely decent Henry County team.

Shelby County. This is the best team they've had since the 1990's and if they can upset SW, they should be hoisting the trophy in Bowling Green.

I think that while they are not quite as good as Male or Trinity, the fact that they are undefeated somewhat eliminates them from 'sleeper' status. However, if they do happen to win it all, it would probably be an upset.

Not Necessarily, but home field advantage in the playoffs is certainly a good thing to have.

Man, mentioning the words "Highlands" and "Sleeper" in the same sentence feels so weird...

If it weren't for the fact that James Gordon transferred, I would have thought this would be the year Shelby County finally returns to Rupp after 5 years in Collins' shadow. Still, I think the Rockets should make a push for a 30th District title.
