Powell is rolling!

[waughdaddy59]

Wolfe started out winning but the pirates kept coming. Teams aren't deep enough or conditioned enough to hang with them in the 14th region.

Wolfe started out winning but the pirates kept coming. Teams aren't deep enough or conditioned enough to hang with them in the 14th region.

I think Letcher and Perry have something to say about this...3 of their 5 region wins have came against district opponents. The other two are Wolfe and Buckhorn.

[Reds#1Fan]

Wolfe is better than they showed last night. Not making any excuses cause Powell just out played them, but Wolfe looked like they hadn't got over the
All A championship lose to Cordia yet. Both teams could make some noise in the regional tournament this year with the right draw.

[Equally]

I knew someone would make an excuse saying Wolfe was in the all A tournament and they were tired actually Powell played more last week or the same amount as Wolfe so they wasn't anymore tired then Powell. Also you have Cordia that only beat Wolfe by 15 and Cordia beat Knott by like 7 I think. I say Powell will surprise you when they beat Knott.

[mountain hoops guru]

They have a good team, but have only beat teams in their district and wolfe and buckhorn. Stop acting like they have actually beat someone worth bragging about. Not saying they aren't playing well, but they need to play some better competition before you start saying they are the best in the region. :Thumbs:

[Equally]

Really I think you need to look at Powell's schedule. They have had probably the hardest in the region. Scott only beat Powell by 15 and Scott beat Knott by 23 with Scott's beat player by even playing 2 quarters against Knott Central. Also they have beat other teams out of their district and region. Get your facts straight lol

Powell is playing good but they aren't the best in the region, they've already lost to both Perry and Letcher. I wasn't at the Perry game but I heard it was over quickly which the score says otherwise...the 28th and 31st games of January should be fun ones to watch against Letcher and Knott.

[Reds#1Fan]

I didn't make any excuse for Wolfe if you will take the time to read my first post I even said not making any excuses for Wolfe. Powell out played Wolfe, I'm a fan of all 14th region teams. Glad Powell and Wolfe are back in the mix it makes the region stronger.

[14th region fanman]

Powell played well last night and Wolfe County did not. Basketball is pretty simple. When you make shots you usually win.
And Napier and Bloom made shots all night for Powell. And Wolfe County didn't make their open shots. Not rocket science. Wolfe has a good team as well as Powell. Both teams will be a tough out come regional time for someone.
These 2 teams will play again on Wolfe County senior night. Wolfe has 2 seniors that play for them and Powell has 6 that play for them. So it will be a big game for Wolfe.
Win last night makes Powell 2-5 in the last 4 years against Wolfe County. Not to bad for Wolfe considering Powell is twice the size of Wolfe. Lol

Have they beat any teams that weren't an All A school? the ones at their own tourney don't count, since we all know that playing at Powell over Christmas means Powell gets to the finals. nicker:
Powell may win their district and may draw Wolfe or Breathitt in the region, but they are not on the same level as the Knott, Cordia, Perry or Letcher's in the 14th. :HitWall:

[Equally]

We shall see. Scott beat Knott by 23 with their leading scorer out half the game and only beat Powell by 15 with him in the whole game. They gave Perry a good run only losing by 12 at Perry. We will see when tournament time comes. Jackson City beat Wolfe out last year they may do it again

[coalminer]

Yea and Knott and Scott was nip and tuck in first half. Knott didn't have their coach for that game either so that's not a great comparison but I will say that Powell will be tough to beat if your not named Perry central

Tough schedule? They have 3 wins against teams with a winning record .. buckhorn , South Floyd , and Estill. Wolfe and Estill were their 2 biggest wins. Buckhorn is way down from their normal status and South Floyd is just average . Powell is playing well but that is not that tough of schedule .

[14th region fanman]

Jackson City had a pretty good team last season, pretty sure they beat Powell last season as well. Then again everybody in the 55th district beat everyone in the 56th district last year. If we are talking about last season.
Last season the 56district had 1 win and 17 losses vs the 55 district.

[14th region official]

The 56th is always the worst district in the region, they are all competitive with each other but can't come and compete with the other districts in most years. I have never understood this seeing that 2 of the bigger schools in the region are in this district. Why does this happen? Powell and Estill are big schools and should be able to compete and do well in this region, we all know that is why Estill got in this region anyways, because they couldn't compete in the one they were in.

[Conductor]

Lol.. It's SIMPLE!!!!! They use their own kids !!!!!!!
If you look at the travel Estill experienced in the 10th region , you will
understand why they are in the 14th.

[14th region fanman]

So the 55th district teams don't use their own kids?
Powell and Estill are both bigger schools than Wolfe and Jackson City combined.
They should be beating them every year if you just look at the number of student athletes that each school has to
Choose from.

[Conductor]

That's probably true, they should ..

[Equally]

Do you think Powell and Estill are are the only big schools in the region?? Perry, Knott, Breathitt and Letcher are all bigger than them. Breathitt was able to play in the class A tournament this year because so many kids left. Powell only misses being able to be in the class A tournament by a few students. And unlike Perry, Hazard, Knott and Cordia, Powell and Estill play with their hometown boys and don't need to get kids or "adults" to come from over seas and other states.

Also Wolfe county's leading " scorer" lives in Powell County and has for years.

Not true! Powell and Estill are 2 of the biggest along with Letcher and Perry. Breathitt and Knott are not even close to those 4 schools. :HitWall:

[Conductor]

Knott, Breathitt, Estill and Powell enrollments all very close .. but enrollments in all the schools further east are drastically declining as compared to Estill and Powell

Yes and the Eatern Ky schools are going to keep declining due to loss of jobs. Sad but true. Powell and Estill are in the middle so it's not has hard on them to drive for jobs. However since coal has gone out its made it bad on other jobs also. I hate seeing the mountains go down hill but that's what it is coming to.

[Equally]

Wow I knew Buckhorn was small but not that small. I'm so glad they won regions last year that just shows it don't matter how big your program or school is if you have kids that want to win they are going to win!! I watched that game and it was heart warming

[Conductor]

I'm fairly certain that owsley number is grades 7-12

Perry and Letcher are bigger enrollments than Powell and Estill but not Breathitt and Knott. Powell is the 3rd largest school in the region and Estill is 4th with about 20 less students than Powell. Both schools have over 700 students.

Owsley has 220 students grades 9-12..
The figures listed here includes the 7th and 8th grades.
There's only 750 students in the entire Owsley system from Kindergarten through 12th grade.

[Texans_99]

Expected this one to be a lot closer.
