Bailey Howell

One of the best to do it!

Good luck to Coach Groves.

Any update?

Most impactful player in girls basketball history

When you shoot bad, everything else is magnified in a bad way. Great season though for the Lady Devils. Steele had a great career, nut Regina Carroll is the best player ever at Russell, boys or girls. She gets inducted into the KHSAA Hall of Fame this year.

Anyone have the rankings for the 16 teams going to Rupp?

Championship for Mandy Layne ties her for third on the all-time list with Claudia Hicks (Rowan), Connie Green (Ashland), Bill Bradley (Ashland)

Darnell carries Russell early with Steele struggling. Russell played perfect final 3:00of game , taking care of basketball. Ashland had a great season.

Yes, the last two meetings in the Regional both came down to the last :30, with the Kittens coming on top.

Have any stats?

Good get on your part.

Could be a "don't miss" night in the semis if all of the favorites win first round.

Yes one of the three will be champs, once again: 2011 Boyd, 2012 Ashland, 2013 Ashland, 2014 Ashland, 2015 Ashland, 2016 Russell, 2017 Boyd, 2018 Boyd, 2019 Boyd, 2020 Russell, 2021 Russell, 2022 Boyd, 2023 Ashland. Plus, for all these years, except for a few, one of the three has been the runner-up.

Yes, Ashland has won the last two in very tight games.

I was wrong , it was actually 5, not 2. CAL, Anderson Co., Cooper, Montgomery Co., Russell. Just shows , again, how crucial a PG is.

You lose your all-area PG, it's pretty much over. I think Ashland lost 3 or 4 games when Woods was out.

Byars is the 32nd ranked player in the country

A fade away from the three by Dillinghamwith a guy in his face wasn't a good shot, but credit him for hitting it. But then he doesn't block his man out and he tips in the game winner. Fundamentals.

Spot on.

Looks like same three teams will vie for title. Been that way since 2011. Champions 2011 Boyd Co, 2012 Ashland, 2013 Ashland, 2014 Ashland, 2015 Ashland, 2016 Russell. 2017 Boyd Co, 2018 Boyd Co., 2019 Boyd Co., 2020 Russell, 2021 Russell, 2022 Boyd Co., 2023 Ashland

Anyone know the date of the draw?

Boyd's PG got hurt in third quarter and never went back in. Was like an 8 point game at the time. Kittens rolled from that point on.

Great game. Michigan's O and D lines won the game.

Heard he resigned. Great coach. Hate to see him leave.

Who are top five teams in 16th Region softball this upcoming season?
