Walton Verona was too much for the Lady Owls. They had a lot of 3 pointers tonight, and their defense forced Owsley into too many turnovers, which they usually converted into easy baskets.
Good defensive team too. Wright and Turner wasn't allowed to get into any kind of offensive flow. They appeared to get frustrated with the constant double teaming by a deep Walton Verona team.
Walton Verona would compete quite well in the 14th region if they were in it, if they always shoot and play like they did tonight. They're right up there with the top teams in our region imo.

WOW! How good is Walton-Verona? They gotta be pretty good to give Owsley their worst loss of the season by 6 more than what Leslie County beat them!

Maybe there coach scouted and found out that Owsley only has two players and the entire offense is centered around them. Not hard to stop, just takes a little effort on the coaches part.

Walton-Verona is pretty good, not the best in the region (that would probably be either Simon Kenton or Anderson County) but they are 16-2 and have only lost to Simon Kenton and Highlands.

That's pretty much what happened. Peyton Wright was double teamed out high and triple teamed inside the paint about all night. And since she is a primary ball handler she was hounded, bumped, etc, from the moment the ball touched her hands. Not much of a chance for her and Walton Verona did one heck of a number on one of the best players in the 14th Region. The other go-to girl, Mika Turner, was frustrated all night too. Walton Verona had a good scouting report for sure.

I went down early to watch this game and Walton Verona just came out on fire and Owsley couldnt stop them. Frustration set in on Owsley County and they were not able to overcome it. Wright for Owsley County seemed to quit in the 2nd quarter, often times she didnt even run back on defense. Turner played hard but was unable to get into a groove.

Congrats to Owsley County for their trip to the state All A it is an honor to make it there.

You're right. It's like she gave up. That's something she needs to work on. Never quit and always give it all you got till the end.
And she might as well get use to that kind of defense because it's going to be in all scouting reports. She just needs to make sure the scouting reports don't add, "and she gets frustrated easily and quits playing hard if you throw the D at her." It's up to her to not allow that to happen.
