I should be ashamed, I forgot about Isaac Brown

I am thoroughly impressed that You remember Billy at O Catholic! Catlett from Christian was a good pick. There was a Kid from Owensboro that a lot of people forget, Chuck Riley, CB (Owensboro) a great three sport athlete (FB,BasketBall, and BaseBall) I personally think he was as good if not better than Brown from O Catholic. Don't know how far back but what about Houston Hogg (Daviess county, they may have him listed at Hazard, don't know) and Dicky Moore (Owensboro)?

I never said that. I said out of the 4 teams I listed, OC was the only team still competitive. 2 wins in the last 3 meetings, how could I not call that competitive?

One win apiece in over 10+ seasons. Yes, that competitive.:stop: I guess you see the series of Bowling Green against Owensboro competitive also (since Owensboro won in the playoffs)?:no:

Don't know if Ashland has seen the type of pressure that Owensboro can put on you when they press. Their quickness is the kind that you don't see often. And they have quickness and speed throughout the line up. I don't know anything about Ashland; them being in the tournament says something for them, but this is one of the better teams in the state whether they have the accolades or not. They aren't Arkansas under Nolan Richardson but they are pretty good. If you don't know, I'm taking the Devils. Now Ashland can blow them out since I've Jinxed them.

The toughest game in on the schedule is Evansville Central. Okay, there is the possibility that OHS will be 12-0 going into the regional finals and not having been tested. IMO every year 13-1 and getting blasted by Bowling Green, South Warren or even Christian County. You need to find a way to get teams on the schedule that will test you. I don't see any team on this schedule that will test the Devils other than Central. The fans may be happy and Coach Fallin can add to his wins total but how many championships are you bringing home? You tell me. Might have to dump traditional rivals (OC, DC, Apollo and Henderson) looking to have a tougher schedule. Over the last few years, Owensboro has been better than those teams with only Catholic being competitive. Bowling Green should still be there and you could add a team from Louisville, Lexington, NKY, South Warren, or Mayfield. Get your team better, be competitive during the playoffs.

I agree. Always wondering which Owensboro team is going to show up. But when they play, they are competitive. Hopefully, they won't bow out in the first round of district play.

Apollo played them close for a half, but Owensboro woke up and decided to play the way they were capable and Apollo could not keep up. The devil's speed, quickness and athleticism was too much for Apollo.

It would have been crazy with Charlie Finley in Louisville! Would have been great.

If you saw the Owensbor/Mcclean County game, you'd have dropped them. Not that the Cougars aren't a scrappy squad, but after watching OHS dismantle Bosse you would have been scratching your head wondering what the deal was . As I said earlier, it all depends on what Red Devil team shows up.

If the Owensoro team that played Bosse shows up, Breck should get ready for a wild ride. I haven't seen the tigers play, but I firmly believe that there are few teams in the region that can match OHS's quickness and overall speed. Coach Drake could do the Arkansas thing and give an opponent 48 minutes of he(double hockey sticks). Their press can be stifling; and if they learn how to really play it, they would be the team to beat in the region bar none. Owensboro's bigs can get up and down the floor too. Jaiden Greathouse is quickly becoming a star in his own right. A continuously running motor and a no matter what's going on, "hustle" attitude is something that opposing teams have to deal with whether they want to or not. With that there's Brennan Williams, Tyran Hayden, and several taller juniors and sophomores waiting for a chance to play and impress the coach. Guard play for the devils may be their strong suit. Does Breck have the players to deal with this? How many players does Breck rotate during the course of a game? Might want to put more players in the rotation. Should be a fun game to watch.:up:

The number 13 team, 19-12. They must play a killer schedule to have a record like that and be ranked as high as they are.

My prayers go out to you and you family.

If everything remains the same the 29th will determine who the number one team in the region is. Do you think Breck can handle Owensboro's quickness, speed and pressure (when they press)? I haven't seen Breck, but I do know that Owensboro can put some size on the court if they need too. And Ohs's bigs can move pretty well. What are your thoughts?

Been awhile since I've seen Warren Central play (I think maybe 2 years ago). They were very athletic, just didn't have the numbers. I hope they pick it up and become competitive again.

jcarter you called a great game. Thank you.

I saw Bush go out in the Owensboro game, he did not return.

South Warren took Owensboro to the woodshed in a big way. The blocked field goal resulting in a roughing the kicker call and the kick return after Owensboro's td turned the momentum. Not taking anything away from South, OHS came out flat. They showed no signs that they were in a playoff game until the middle of the second quarter, by then the game was pretty much over. Brown comes in and has a couple nice runs, makes you wonder why Coach Fallin didn't give that kid a shot at it in the first half. Bush went out in the first half and did not return. I hope the coach was being cautious and that the kid isn't hurt. Warren held on to the ball WAY to long. Just gt rid of the ball and don't take the sack. Good luck next week South Warren, take care of business.

Spot on assessment as always. If Warren has to move around in the pocket or run, not good for Owensboro. When Warren does anything other than drop back and set up he is not as accurate. Rolling out or trying to scramble and throw on the run his accuracy drops off. I agree that if they have him running around all night that will NOT bode well for the Devils. If the O line gives him time, it could make for a long night for SW. I agree that Owensboro has to figure out how to run the ball, if they find some success at that, the SW defense will definitely have to adjust. Owensboro cannot afford to have stupid penalties or turnovers. I like 28-21. It was good for Owensboro last weekend, let's hope it repeats again this week. Question for you: Why would they play the game at Warren Central instead of playing on their field?

O Catholic scored against the first team D. One thing I can say, if there is a team that can make a team pay for making mistakes, Owensboro has that ability. They can score quickly and in bunches. Not to say that they will against SW, but I don't see a shut out either. SW (from what I am being told) has a formidable defense but on the other side, Owensboro's defense has been pretty good also. Yes, they've given up a couple more TD's than SW but in the end it's about the W is it not? I believe Owensboro can score enough to beat them. Nobody's passing game is going to be 100% and Owensboro's hasn't come close to being that good, but I don't think they have to be that good. From the comments I've read, it will be a tall task but Owensboro just hast to be good enough, not perfect. We'll see Friday night who was good enough.

Owensboro's defense isn't half bad. How many of their games have you seen to say you don't see the game being in doubt? There were a few that said that about the game last week. SW may win but there's an opportunity for Owensboro. They are a lot better than you think. Warren has thrown picks but he can and does put the ball on the money too. I just hope SW goes into the game with the same attitude you have. If that is the case, they may be sitting at home next week. By the way, last year when Bowling Green played them in the regional finals, who did you have? Did you say there was no doubt that Bowling Green would win? Don't know if you did or not, but a large number of people did. How'd that turn out? If there's any question, i'm taking the Devils. Should be a very good game. I am sure you'll let me know if I was wrong.

What will South Warren's O line do with Owensboro's D-line? They are playing at a high level right now. If they overlook them, the defense may cause more trouble for South than they bargain for.

You also predicted 28-21 Bowling Green didn't you? Let's hope you are 2 for 2!

Believe me the same can be said about the play calling for Owensboro. I was shocked that OHS didn't go shotgun when they were backed up on their goal line. Their play calling has been suspect all season.

After the embarrassment of this season, it seems to me that a solid blue stadium at the Governor's cup would be the least of their worries. On another note. If Brohm comes to UL, does Moore come with?
