In the two games they played this season the first was back in mid December at Perry and Owsley pretty much led the entire game and Perry finally tied them in the last seconds of regulation and won in overtime. Perry had a girl who according to stats was a 25% 3 shooter and she made five that night. Owsley was giving her a little liberty and concentrating on others and she had her game of the year, I suppose. Since that game Owsley has steadily improved and changed several things in their offensive and defensive schemes.
The second game was in in mid February at Owsley and it was close early for a while but Owsley eventually build a 25 point lead and toward the end both teams subbed and the finally score was 67-51.
But this is post season and neither of those games mean squat. It’s a new season. Owsley will need to make sure McAlarnis and Neace are contained as much as possible. They can get going on you and be a force. Perry will have to contain a bunch of Owls though….four girls are averaging in double figures and four girls have made between 45-73 3-pointers on the season. And of course they have the 6’2 freshman in the middle. They also have the Murray girl who is a great rebounder and another freshman who subs that is 6’. He usually plays a seven player rotation, so depth is not a problem. And with Carly Smith you have a veteran 5 year starting guard that has been through the battles and basketball wars in her career.
They came oh so close to a trip to Rupp in 2022, losing in overtime in the championship game to Letcher by 1 point on a last second shot. Hopefully this year is different and they can make it to the Big Dance, which will be the school’s first ever in basketball (boys or girls) and the first for a 56th District team.
