Major

Don't forget Lee Lost Rich in the 56th. I could be wrong but from what I saw he was the diff.

Has anyone heard a score from the 56th district championship Game.

Estill by 3 in physical game. The difference will be if Estill can pull Rich out from the basket on defense.

Owsley always has a punchers chance. They still have players that can put up 30 on a given night. This is Owsley/Lee, the games are always close.

He played for Breathitt, graduated in 95 or 96 not sure. Do know that he played on the Breathitt county Team that won the region with Scott Moore, Rader, etc.

Didn't Allan Houston play at Ballard, he would have to be at the top of any High School List

The Game will be tonight. Owsley will have it's complete team tonight. The team that beat JBS and gave Hazard all it wanted. With Smith, Congleton, and Neeley the Owls could be dangerous. They looked good in the game agianst Knott County. With Neeley returning the Owls are dangerous. Owsley by 5

Owsley County

If the Owsley Team that played JBS shows up, Owsley has a chance. If not it will be a long night for the owls.

Lee will Host 56TH

The old Jackson City Gym had only 3 rows of bleachers. There were holes cut out in the bleachers so you could in bound the ball from the side.

The winner of this game will be the number 3 seed in the district. Then we will have to wait on the Lee vs. Estill game for 1 and 2, Lee has beaten Estill twice already that game should be a war. I agree that no one wants to play Lee at Lee in the first round, but Estill would be tough match-up also

What is your pick?

Junior Class -- Trey Congleton(Owsley Co)

Freshman -- Dunaway (Lee Co) -- will be a nice inside player next year. May fill void left by Rich

Ronnie, I was at the game, Smith is Owsley's most unselfish player, he is getting 6 or 7 assist each game.

Robert finished the game with 10 rebounds. Trey finished the game with eleven according to the radio.

Great game from start to finish. Owsley played excellant tonight. Professor has all the stats, but Josh Reed made the play of the game rejecting 6'8 Collins on the last play of the game.

Lee should have no problem in this one. Lee to win big.

I think the prof. is right on track. Owsley might not have a 6'8 player inside but JBS doesn't have two 6'2 guards that can go inside and out. Robert or Trey pose a match up problem for anyone. Put a guard on them they go in, put a big man on them and they will face him up and take him to the basket. Daniel is one of the best shooters in the region. JBS will have their hands full. Owsley should pull this one out.

Coming off a win over a good South Floyd team. Owsley is now starting to play up to thier potential. JBS will have trouble matching up with Owsley. Smith and Stepp should be an interesting match-up. Owsley by 8.

Owsley should be able to match up well with Hazard. I look for Robert, Trey, and Daniel all to have a game similar to the Powell County Game. Look for Robert and Trey to both have a Double/Double and Daniel to get his 18 with 6 or so assist. Owsley by 5.

I think that would go both ways. I don't think that the bobcats want to face Owsley in the first round. Owsley could be a very dangerous tournament team. If Robert, Daniel and Trey are hitting from the field, Owsley will be a tough out for anyone, on any floor. Owsley vs. Lee or Owsley vs. Estill would both be good games and don't count Powell out they are always tough at tournament time.

I look for Robert to have a much better game agianst Estill, with a couple of days of practice now on his side. Also don't forget that Robert can be a lock down defender on a teams best player when he is in condition. As for Neeley not getting his touchs this just allows him to become a more complete player, he will still get his shots. We also don't need to forget Trey Congleton who has been Owsley's most consistant player (both scoring and on the boards) to this point. When those 3 get comfortable with each other, Owsley will be dangerous for anyone!!

Finally with a complete team on the floor, everyone is going to see the real Owsley County Basketball team. Owsley now has 3 options on the offensive end with the return of Robert. They will also be much improved on the boards and on the defensive end. Teams will not want to see Owsley come tournament time. Owsley by 5.
