If they really have the best player in the region in Gibson. How can they not be a top 10 team in a down year in the 14th region?

Because the next two best scorers are 8th graders and another 8th graders plays a lot of minutes off the bench. They also play a couple of 9th graders. Simply put it's a very young team other than Gibson who is a junior. She's basically playing with kids that would normally be playing mostly JV ball but are forced into a varsity role due to the need. That happens sometimes at small schools with barely over 200 students in the high school.

The younger players are doing OK for kids of their age but older and more experienced teams take advantage of their youth by using a full court press for most games and causing turnovers. It is what it is. A lot of the opponent's main offense vs Owsley is their points off turnovers through their defense.

The one good thing about this season is every player returns next year. With a year of varsity behind them the younger players should be much better for the 2017-18 season, Gibson's last year.
