[Patriot train]

That same ice had a better chance to survive in hell than Powell had of beating Owsley last night in the district also didn't it.

Owsley did the same thing last year when they came from the 4 seed to win the district. All the teams in this district are always really close. So it was not out of the realm of possibility that Powell would of won last night. They have been playing well as of late, and even knocked off the #1 team in the region last week, Knott.
And as far as the free throw difference, there are many factors that goes into those types of things, no I was not their, due to my Lady Pats playing, but I hear Owsley strictly played a perimeter game and shot a lot of shots outside the paint and the 3 pt line. Powell had a game plan of going inside every time, which means more fouls for Owsley which means more free throws. I also heard when Powell got the ball they pushed it up the floor and drove it to the basket every chance they got, which again sounds like a lot of fouls possible. Then in the 2nd half, Owsley was down so they started pressing which again led to more fouls or layups by Powell county. On defense, Powell played 2 girls on Maci one in front and one behind, the other 3 packed in the lane and dared Owsley to shoot which they did over and over again without changing anything. Sounds like to me, coaching came into play in this one. One team made adjustments and one didn't. Was just Powell counties night, and that is why they play the game.
See everyone at Estill County High school. :1:
