Summer basketball is not always a good indicator of how the season will shake out but this summer Owsley County did not lose a game to any regional teams they played. They defeated Knott, Leslie, Hazard, Wolfe (twice), Buckhorn (twice) and Breathitt. They defeated out of region teams Whitley Co, Clay Co, and Greenup Co.
Lost at Floyd Central by 4, lost at Prestonsburg in OT, lost to Jackson Co by 2 at Corbin after leading for 95% of the game, lost to Pulaski Co by 7, and lost three times to 13th region champ Corbin by 7, 9 and 12. The only team that beat them handily was Bell Co at Corbin where the Lady Cats won by over 20.
I don’t know where the team ranks in the upcoming season in the 14th region but they return 4 starters and looked pretty darn good this summer.
