Asked what it meant to help the Shawnee High School boys' basketball team reach a regional final for the first time in 33 years, senior Danny Mason reached into his gym bag and pulled out a T-shirt. Written on the back: "WE BELIEVE."

"That's been our motto all season," Mason said. "We came in from football season, and we've been making history all year. ... We knew we had a good team coming back, and we just wanted to play with unselfishness and play as a team."
The Golden Eagles showed how strong a team tonight, knocking off perennial power Pleasure Ridge Park 80-69 in a semifinal of the Class Act Federal Credit Union Sixth Region Tournament at Bellarmine University's Knights Hall.
Devon Thomson scored 23 points and Corey Jackson added 22 as the Golden Eagles (16-14) advanced to face district rival Central (15-14) in tomorrow night's 6 o'clock regional final.
It will be Shawnee's first trip to a regional final since taking the Sixth Region crown in 1976.
"It's huge for the program, for Shawnee, for the whole community," Golden Eagles coach Montrelle Irvin said. "We're just playing with pride this year. Our seniors don't want to go home."
Brandon Schoenhoff had 24 points, eight rebounds and four steals to lead the Panthers (23-8), No. 19 in The Courier-Journal's Litkenhous Ratings.....

Same here guys!!! Thought PRP would win!! Got to love tournament time!!
Congrats Shawnee, I was surprised with this score.
Surprised by how bad they beat them, but not that Shawnee won. PRP has been overrated all year due to a lackluster 6th region. Shawnee flat whipped them. Congrats to them for that.
