North Oldham 74 Spencer County 57

Spencer County was the favorite to win the 8th? They’re not off to the best start with a tough week ahead in the KOB. -
One of the hardest things for coaches to do in practice is to simulate “game speed” against “game competition”. Small schools face a large challenge in the practice setting - they just don’t have the depth. Look at players 8-14 at Owen County and compare them to players 8-14 at the larger schools. There’s usually no comparison. It also shows up when a starter or two gets in could trouble. You can have a stud or a great starting five, but depth usually wins out over time.

Also think its strange that they assign region referees before the Sweet 16 bracket is drawn. If I'm a 13th region ref and I know my home teams may play someone from the 8th region at Rupp early on, that could have an effect on the way I approach an 8th region game (I'm not saying it would affect 100% of refs, but even one or two could make a minor difference).

* for all-male schools like St. X, Trinity . . . multiply their enrollment by two? -
8th Region Draw
ConverseAllStar replied to Adrian Woj Burner's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I think this game comes down to Green for OC. In the South Oldham win, Green scored 36% of OC’s points in a 19-point win. In the North Oldham loss, Green scored 64% (!) of OC’s points in a 21-point loss. If he gets his teammates involved, has a few assists, Amburgey is healthy and stays out of foul trouble . . . then OC pulls it off.
