Leslie County defeated Letcher Central 38-37 in Whitesburg tonight. Basketball can be so weird sometimes. Owsley beat Letcher Central 50-43 last night and 3 weeks ago lost to Leslie on a last second shot by 2 on the same floor that they lost the All A Championship game Saturday. But the night the Lady Owls played Leslie I don’t think anyone in the region could have beaten them. Melton alone was 4/5 from 3 range and Hoskins was 4/7. Hoskins made one that was at least 25 feet. They had 9 3s in the first half! Sometimes it’s just your night and that one was definitely their’s.

Best of luck to them in the All A in Richmond vs Cov Holy Cross. Here’s hoping they’re knocking down 3’s from everywhere and they are so capable of doing so. And it helps they have a number 1 class act for coach, Larry Sparks! He’s now taken three different schools to All state tournaments, Owsley boys, Buckhorn boys and now Leslie girls.
