Hey 16th Region Fans - 5 posts on the Regional Championship thread? Really???? Come on, guys!! All the posts are one-liners, mostly congrats. Where's the passion? Where's the details from the game? Man...remember back in the Rose Hill-Ashland-Boyd County days? There would 10 or 11 threads going talking about a District Tournament game!!! Holy cow. I've been living in the Atlanta area for about five years now and like to pop in on BGP to get the inside scoop.

Hey mcpapa, good to see you're still around! That's good news about the site and membership. Perhaps there's just more fans from other parts of the state now. But, really, there were four first round games yesterday and the activity was meager. I even noticed it on the Boy's site - very, very low participation from the 16th Region area. That's a shame because back in the day, this was one of the most active areas of bgp participation.

Wow - a great win, but what has happened to Bluegrasspreps??? I haven't been active for a couple of years but there was a day that this thread would've generated 100 posts. So many 16th Region fans chiming in and offering up congrats and game details. Where have all the fans (and posters) gone?? Any old-schoolers out there that knows what I'm talking about????? Hello?????

Didn't Elliott County do well the past couple of years? Didn't they go deep into the Sweet Sixteen tournament?

Don't change a thing!!!!!!!

:lol:

I'm not even sure I know what that means. Rowan was clearly the lesser team today. I'm not complaining about Boone County in the least...if they stuck to Rowan dfensively...that's great! It helped them win...I'm referencing the (tired) whining of some about Rowan "hacking all the way up the floor". This is an over-used lame excuse by some to justify why their inferior programs (teams) can't win vs. Rowan. They're not going to change, so it's best to find new excuses.

Whatever...it's not aimed at Boone County, who is obviously the victor and not an inferior program...it's aimed at the few in the 16th Region that doesn't like Rowan's aggressive style of Dfenz. They've been doing it for years and some can't keep from howling about it over and over and over and over. - Mr. Kettle (or am I Mr. Pot?)

First of all this is a cheap shot - totally uncalled for. Second, Rowan held Boone to 39 points....39 points! You tell me a coach that wouldn't take that anyday???? Just so happened they couldn't throw the ball in the ocean while standing on the beach. Unfortunate.

Rowan's a better team than 26 points. I wish these girls could go to Diddle with some confidence and put up a couple of wins. They're better than this!

Got mine today - but now I can't go!! :( They're great seats...mid-court, row X on the aisle...2 seats....I'll sell them for face value. PM me

Final from Morehead State.

Rowan by a dozen.

Good Lord...we hear this every year....it's getting old.

After Rowan's impressive win over East Carter tonight, I don't see Ashland or Elliott standing in their way...it would take a special night with stats off the chart and Rowan having a big let down, or injury to a key player. Rowan should have double digit wins in the next two rounds.

Rowan County has won five in a row including wins over Ashland and Bath County...they seem like a team I wouldn't want to draw in the first round of the regional tournament. A little scary and playing much better of late.

We initially heard it was a length-of-the-court shot - funny, how stuff gets exaggerated. Still, if it was a 35-footer, that's a bomb!

I'd say the East Carter game was a big wake up call. I think the girls were starting to read and believe their own headlines. East showed them you can't just show up and expect to win.

I suppose so

Does it matter this year?

Lady Vikings coast on the road...was up 20 with 4 minutes to go...game not as close as score indicates.

Nope...but I did see them win a regional championship (again)!

Really? Rowan is a good team??? :confused: I thought they were struggling this year...5-11 record, I believe.

OK, deep cleansing breath here...relaxing....take it in, blow it out...ahhhhhh....wish I had some ocean sounds....my man CHS and his favorite word...."relax". Hey, listen, I don't care if Rowan plays in one, two, five or fifteen holiday tournaments. Their schedule speaks for itself. Holiday tournaments are great and all, but not the benchmark. So they played in one, but not two...big deal. Do they deserve to be #1? #10? or #25? I dunno...don't really care - I was just commenting on the silliness of the statement that Rowan wasn't putting themselves out there. It's their strength of schedule - probably one of the toughest in the state - that puts them in the driver seat year in and year out to make it to Diddle...glad to see the current coach is continuing this practice started by the previous coach. Smart.

LOL - love the quote about "illegal use of hands" - this is like the 5th year in a row I've read these complaints on here. I think it's safe to say Rowan ain't gonna change because inferior programs lack the ability to handle it or coach it.
