Congrats Youngeers with Great Run At Lex Cath

The Lady Neers improbable run at the Republic Bank Classic at Lexington Catholic came to an end last night at the hands of Monroe County. The Youngeers simply ran out of gas as the Lady Falcons experience and size was just too much to overcome for tired SK team.

The win still meant that SK took second place in the silver division. 24 teams entered the tourney with 8 going to the gold, silver and bronze after pool play so a second place finish in the middle bracket is a huge accomplishment. To give you an idea of the competition, Louisville Assumption and Scott County were in the Bronze final.

Coach Stowers had a meeting with the parents before the tournament last weekend and said he wasn’t sure how ready his young team was for the best competition in the Commonwealth. Coach Stowers’ team answered that question with a resounding “yes” as the young kids from SK were one of the teams of discussion at the tourney with the onlookers standing around the bracket posted on the wall. SK knocked oft the two top teams out of the always tough 12th Region. SK’s youth showed up even during warm-ups as they looked like a middle school team compared to some of the other teams in the tourney. It didn’t matter once the games started as SK played with a tremendous amount of heart.

There is still a lot of room for improvement and a tough schedule ahead but they Youngeers have certainly emerged as a team to reckon with the 8th Region. Great job coaches and players!

Merry Christmas Everyone. Have a Blessed Weekend with your families and friends.

Size of tourney you ask?  #45 from Monroe County was a beast on the offensive end.


Coach Stowers got about as much as he could have asked from his team.
