WINCHESTER, Ky. – Marie Kiefer gets most of the attention from opposing defenses for the Bishop Brossart girls basketball team.
Her fellow starters have been in top form down the stretch this season. And the Mustangs needed all of them to deliver an accomplishment not seen since before they were born.
Bishop Brossart beat Montgomery County 61-47 to win the KHSAA 10th Region championship Tuesday at Cardinal Arena at George Rogers Clark High School.
Brossart, 21-5 overall, won its second regional championship and first since eventual Miss Basketball Katie Schwegmann and the Mustangs won the 10th Region in 2001. Montgomery finished 15-6.
Brossart became the second school in Campbell County in the past week to break a 20-year title drought since their 2001 basketball odyssey led them to the state tournament. They joined the Highlands boys basketball team, who won the Ninth Region.
Brossart players celebrated with family members and a few dozen Brossart students, who were able to attend a game for the first time this year because of the pandemic.
