I would say 42-2 vs. 16th region competition, 69-15 overall, in 2.5 years would be considered dominant, when back to back regional championships are factored in. Granted, the 2 are against East at East, by an average margin of 3.5 points. Rowan has beaten East 4 times during that span, 2 in Morehead, 2 at neutral sites, by an average of just over 20 points per game. When you consider that East lost in the first round last year (to Rowan) and didn't make the tournament the previous year, I would consider Rowan's 2.5 year run to this point pretty dominant. That's not even considering the out of region wins like Manual, Boone County, Lafayette, Notre Dame, etc. East, Rowan, and Ashland all have good programs, and any can win it this year. But for you to say that the past three years have been remotely close to level of Rowan is not completely accurate.

So are you saying that Rowan has been dominant over the entire region during last 6 years, 3 years, everybody else excluding East?? Make up your mind. 4-2 vs. East I don't think makes them dominant over East during that span, 2 regional titles is very impressive though, with as good as a chance as any for a 3rd. By the way, I checked the KHSAA website, during the other 3 years that you say Rowan has been dominant when Troy Lee was there East lost to them by 5 in double ot at home, beat them by 29 on a neutral floor, 7 at Rowan Co., and 18 at East, seems according to your logic that would make East dominant over Rowan during those 3 years! Just give Ashland and East their due this year along with Rowan, they're all 3 good teams and the regional champion will come from 1 of those 3, I'd bet on it!!
