'fake'TWvo:c:5Q:JnUhq.:i T0 STATE. OHS came into the state tournament as one of the teams capable of winning it all. The Red Devils had won 21 in a row, and were sixth in the state. Coach Grant Talbott's dream of winning the state was short-lived as Barren County knocked OHS from the tourney in the quarter-finals. OHS defeated Anderson County 49-47 in the opening round before falling to Barren County 51-37. This marked the second straight year that OHS had fallen from the state meet in the quar- ter-finals. The girls finished the season with a 28-2 re- cord, the best won-lost record since girls' basket- ball was revived four years ago. Barren County used the inside game of 6-foot- 1 Belinda Bradley and 5-foot-11 Terri Wilkinson for the easy shots inside to beat the Red Devils. Owensboro shot a horrid 16 of 51 for 31 per- cent. The Red Devils hit only 5 out of 15 free throws. Barren County made 15 of 28 free throws. OHS fell behind early, and were back by 11 points at halftime. Things didn't get better in the third quarter as the girls fell behind by as many as 21 points. Starting the fourth quarter, the Devils were behind by 19 points. Then came an OHS rally that cut the lead to eight, but Barren County held on in the waning minutes to win. Nobody was in double figures for the Red Devils as the leading scorer was Willene Owsley with eight points. OHS led Anderson County at halftime 21-20. In the third quarter, the favored Red Devils out- scored their opponent 16-3 as they led at the end of the stanza 37-23. Anderson County cut the lead to one with less than a minute to go before june Harris made one of two free throws to secure the two-point win. Harris and Jeanette Rowan paced the Red Dev- ils with 13 and 12 points, respectively. Rowan finished the year as the top scorer and rebounder. She had 14.1 points and 15 rebounds per game. June Harris was the No. 2 scorer with 12.3 points per game. - By Nicky Nicholas Giving a head fake Bea Brown C211 prepares to put up a jump shot against Ande n the first round of the State Tournament. 8 fouls' Basketball Vi , .54 UUNTY e .JM J' Reaching for the stars is Barren County's Terri Wilkerson and OHS' .
