Ok. I got to see the games last night as I was in the mood to go watch some girls basketball. Will just give a brief overview of what I thought.
#3 St. James vs #6 Owensville. The only upset of the night. There was a whole lot of youth on the floor as there should be some good battles to come between these two teams in the next few years. There was some young athletes on both some of the ball and it was definitely the best game to watch of the night. The four rivers conference will be a hard conference this year for either of these two teams to win, but possibly in the future.
#2 Helias vs #7 Cuba. Helias lost a lot from last year but returned some athletic girls with some length to them. The one pretty handily but I don't see them as strong as what they were last year. Cuba though also had some youth to their team vs a few more upper class players for Helias. They will win that side of the bracket pretty handily in my eyes. Or at least should.
#4 Borgia vs #5 Salem. Thought his game was going to be a bit better than what it was. I saw that Salem was like 4-1, but not sure who they have played. Salem had some athletic girls but just didn't seem quite as good as Borgia, and had problems with Borgia's press. I notice the Borgia 6' 1''Junior girl who was all tournament last year was out with a boot on her foot. They have Borgia might have been under ranked by the looks at this.
#1 Sullivan vs #7 Northwest. Sullivan handily defeated NW. They could have by as much as they wanted. At one time I think it was 24-0. Had a long drive home so I didn't watch the second half. A lot of seniors on Sullivan and you can tell they been together for a while.
Just for fun. Tournament rankings that probably should have been after the first night from what I saw
1. Sullivan
2. Borgia
3. Helias
4. Owensville
5: St. James
6. Salem
7. Cuba
8. Northwest
