that's a tough one, I don't think she will. She has a couple seasons left in her, but I think she should retire

BOWLING GREEN — Sydney Moss’s huge game wasn’t enough as the Boone County Lady Rebels fell in overtime 72-70 to Lexington Paul Laurence Dunbar in the opening round of the Girls’ Sweet Sixteen Wednesday at E.A. Diddle Arena.
Despite 41 points and 13 rebounds from Moss, Boone County was unable to advance, allowing the tying basket in the final seconds of regulation and trailing the entire extra session.
With the loss, Boone County ends its season 30-4.

“I think we played good as team, but they made some big shots down the stretch,” Moss said. “We drove to the basket a lot and I’ve got scratches all over my arms from where girls were hanging on me. The refs I guess didn’t see it so I don’t know. That kind of hurt us.”
Moss helped the Lady Rebels build a 14-6 lead, scoring 10 points in the first seven minutes.
Dunbar scored seven straight to trim the deficit to one point before Boone County responded with an 8-2 surge to extend its lead back to 22-15 midway through the second quarter.
The Boone County lead grew to 34-24 on a putback by Moss early in the third period when the Lady Bulldogs began their comeback. Dunbar outscored Boone County 22-11 over the next seven minutes, taking a 46-45 lead on two Morgan McEldowney free throws with 10 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
The Lady Rebels regained the advantage 47-46 when Moss found Lydia Nash for a wide open layup on the final play of the third quarter.
Dunbar scored the first three points of the fourth quarter, jumping back in front 49-47 on a Lakeena Parks 15-footer.
Boone County got four straight from Jessica Jones to regain the lead, but Brooke Todd tied the score 51-51 with a floater in the lane with 1:46 remaining.
The teams traded buckets the remainder of regulation. The final exchange came in a 15-second flurry when Moss’s runner in the lane was answered by a Jordin Fender bucket with 5 seconds left to make the score 59-59.
Dunbar scored the first four points of overtime to take the lead for good. Boone County pulled within a bucket twice and had a chance to tie on a 3 from Moss in the final 20 seconds. Fender added two free throws with 13.1 seconds remaining, rendering a 3 from Moss at the buzzer meaningless. Dunbar finished 17 for 24 from the free-throw line, 11 for 12 in overtime.
“Congratulations to Dunbar,” Boone County coach Nell Fookes said. “They played a great game. They really hit their free throws down the stretch when it mattered. Their quickness bothered us on the perimeter. We could have won it in regulation. The ball hangs on the rim and drops in, but that’s the game of basketball.
“We had an opportunity to beat them. Things just didn’t go our way today.”
Lydia Nash added 11 points for the Lady Rebels. Parks led Paul Laurence Dunbar with 20 points.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. Facing perhaps the best senior in Kentucky, Paul Dunbar coach Sarah Van Horn was content to let Boone County standout Sydney Moss get her points.
Van Horn told her players to “lock down” on everybody else, and it worked.
Moss poured in 41 points, becoming just the fourth player in girls’ state tournament history to score 40 or more, but Paul Dunbar had four players in double figures and stunned the Lady Rebels 72-70 in overtime before 4,416 fans in the opening round of the Houchens Industries/KHSAA Sweet 16 in E.A. Diddle Arena.
“I told them one girl can’t outscore us all,” Van Horn said. “I don’t like giving up 41 to anybody, but we wanted to lock the other players down and we did that.”
Jordin Fender, who forced overtime with a basket at 0:04.9, led Dunbar with 21 points, and Lakeena Parks added 20. The unranked Lady Bulldogs rallied from a 10-point third-quarter deficit, then hit 10 of 12 free throws in the extra four minutes to knock off the Lady Rebels, who are No. 5 in The Courier-Journal’s Litkenhous Ratings.
“I just can’t say enough about my team in red,” Van Horn said. “Don’t count us out until the buzzer sounds. That’s what we do, make comebacks.”
Dunbar (29-6), making only its second appearance in the Sweet 16, advances to Friday’s 1 p.m. quarterfinal against No. 19 Butler (24-9). Dunbar made it to the semifinals in 1997 before losing to eventual champion Hazard.
When asked about Friday’s game, Van Horn said the Lady Bulldogs want a fast pace and hope the Sixth Region champion Bearettes want to go with them.
“Running is what we like to do,” she said. “If they want to run with us, they can jump on the bandwagon.”
The Dunbar comeback ended the career for Moss, who has signed with Florida and is the frontrunner for Miss Basketball. She shot 20 of 38, including 1 of 2 from 3-point range, and had 13 rebounds, four assists and three steals.
With her father, former All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss, in attendance, Moss finished her career with 2,951 points and more than 1,500 rebounds. Her 41 points rank third in Sweet 16 history behind Pulaski County’s Heather Baker (46 in 1996) and Newport’s Donna Murphy (42 in ’75). Her 20 field goals are second to Murphy’s 21.
