  1. 1.Butler County (20-8, 12-0) – Butler comes in as the tournament favorite but drew the co-favorite in Daviess County in Round 1. They feature one the of the best scorers in the state in Ty Price. Price has a tremendous starting lineup around him, highlighted by big man Lawson Rice. Rice averaged a double-double on the season. Briar Griffin is a great compliment to Ty Price at the guard spot. Trevor Deweesse and Justin Castlin do all the little things for Coach Dockery to round out the lineup. If the Bears have any weakness at all, it would be their depth. Butler County has never won a 3rd Region title. This is their best chance in school history. 2.Daviess County (24-7, 13-3) – The Panthers come into the regional off a disappointing loss to Owensboro Catholic in the 9th district tournament. That said, they sport one of the best rosters in the region, led by dynamic point guard, Jonathan Moss. The Sophomore has been electric in the second half of the season and is being courted by several division 1 level programs. Gage Phelps is the lone senior in the starting lineup and brings great leadership and scoring. Jaxon Brown has emerged in the post season proving to be a scorer when other teams try to take Moss away. Aydan Ayer and DeAaron Watkins bring the defensive energy to round out the starting lineup and both are capable of scoring 20 on any given night. This is the Panthers first trip to the Regional Tournament since 2017. They want to leave their mark and end their season in Rupp Arena. 3.Ohio County (18-12, 10-3) – Ohio County comes in hot, having won 13 of their last 16 games. Elijah Decker has been incredible in the back half of the season to lead the Eagles. Versatile guard Carter Young has been consistent all year long as Deckers top compliment. Bo Morse emerged as a scorer over the past few weeks and can be someone who helps elevate Ohio County to a Regional contender. The Eagles have battled injuries and adversity all year, but they have put all of that behind them now. They are primed to make a run for Rupp. 4.Owensboro Catholic (21-9, 12-4) – The Aces won the 9th district championship with one of their best players in Tutt Carrico on the sidelines with a back injury. Luke Bieckman was incredible in the tournament, scoring 28 and 33 in back-to-back performances. When the entire gym knew he was getting the ball, they still couldn’t stop him. Coach Tim Riley thrives during tournament season and is getting the most out of guys like Dre Corothers, Waryn Eblhar, Solly Smith and Kiser Frick. Never go against Riley in elimination games. He is 9 for 9 in district elimination games since taking over as Head Coach for the Aces. He is hunting his 3rd Region title in 9 seasons. 5.Meade County (16-15, 8-5) – Meade County comes in playing their best basketball of the season. They have won 9 of their last 12 games, including an 11th District Title. Coach Tripure knows his way around the Sportscenter. He took Meade to 3 straight regional title games a few years back and is looking to make another run this season. The Waves are led by Garrett Hardesty at 16.2 ppg. Hayden Shouse and Peyton Johnson are as good of a big 3 as you are going to find in the region. The key for Meade will be their role players. Michael Blackman had a big District Championship game and will look to carry that into this week. The Waves got a favorable draw and could be a dark horse to make a run at the who tournament. 6.Breck County (16-12, 13-7) – Breck has won 10 of their last 12 games but fell to Meade County in the district title game on Friday. Consistency will be the key for the Tigers. They are led by Mercer Rogers at 14.9 ppg. Lance Poole has emerged as of late and pushed his scoring average to almost 11 ppg. Big man Brayden Carmen is one of the regions best rebounders at 7.4 rpg. The Tigers got a tough draw but have the potential to upset anyone on any given night. 7.Edmonson County (14-15, 5-7) – The Wildcats upset their way into the regional tournament, knocking off a good Grayson County team in the district first round. Kollin Doyle led them with 17 points. Edmonson does everything well as they stack up in the top half of this backet in every statistical category. They will have to translate that to on court success. Joshua Decker is right at a double-double on the season, scoring 11 ppg and pulling 9.1 rpg. Will Alexander is also in double figures at 11.6 ppg while Wyatt Gravil has the best field goal percentage in the tournament at 63.9. Do not sleep on the Wildcats in that first round match-up with Catholic. 8.Muhlenberg County (8-22, 4-9) – The Mustangs fought their way into the regional with a win over Mclean County in district play. They are led by Madox Jernigan at 16 ppg. The key for the Mustangs will be consistency around him. Jace Sommers and Issac Coats are capable scorers to compliment Jernigan. The Mustangs got a draw they can work with and could find themselves making an improbable run if they play to the level, they are capable of. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT GAMES Owensboro Catholic Aces vs Edmonson County Wildcats These two teams did not play during the regular season but the match-up is intriguing. Owensboro Catholic is coming off an improbable run to the 9th District Championship behind incredible performances from Luke Bieckman. The Aces expect to have Tutt Carrico back in the lineup for the regional games. Edmonson comes in off an upset of Grayson County in the district. They do a lot of little things well. Statistically, they stack up very well in this game. If they can find some way to limit Bieckman, they will have a shot but that has proven to be a tough task for anyone during tournament season. The Cats only scored 40 in the district championship loss to Butler. They will need to find the 60’s to have a shot at the upset. Meade County Greenwave vs Muhlenberg County Mustangs On paper, this is a pretty even match-up between two teams that did not play during the regular season. Meade has had more success finding wins on the season, but Muhlenberg has a group of guys that can compete with anyone when it is all clicking. Jernigan for Muhlenberg and Hardesty for Meade are big time scorers and expect to lead their respective teams. Which program can get the most out of their role players should determine who survives and advances into Saturday’s semifinal round. Whoever that may be, will have momentum and another winnable game to put themselves one win away from Rupp. Butler County Bears vs Daviess County Panthers It goes without saying that this is the game of the first round. The two best teams all season long drew each other in round one. The teams are 1-2 in pretty much every major statistical category in the region. Ty Price vs Jonathan Moss should be worth the price of admission. In the pain you are going to have Lawson Rice matched up against DeAaron Watkins. Gage Phelps for Daviess and Briar Griffin are each capable of scoring 30 to lead their respective teams. Jaxon Brown is coming off a great District Tournament for the Panthers. Castlen and Deweese from Butler and Ayer from Daviess have been built as some of the best defenders in the region all year. This game has all the makings of a classic and should not be missed. It will open the night on Thursday. Ohio County Eagles vs Breckinridge County Tigers Ohio County comes into this game playing as well as anyone in the region. Elijah Decker has elevated himself even further over the past few weeks and will be a load for the Tigers to have to slow down. Mercer Rogers put on a nice show at the Sportscenter last year and has the potential to do it again. Breck will need him too, to have a shot. Brayden Carmen vs Bo Morse should be a great match-up in the paint. Carter Young and Lance Poole are both “X factor” type of players that could make a difference in a close one. The Eagles beat Breck back in the first week of the season, but a lot has changed since then. Ohio will be the favorites, but the Fighting Tigers have been playing well. Both teams bring great crowds. Thursday night will be an atmosphere in the Sportscenter. All Region – 1st Team Ty Price – Butler County – 28.9 ppg Lawson Rice – Butler County – 18.4 ppg // 10.9 rpg Luke Bieckman – Owensboro Catholic – 20.7 ppg Elijah Decker – Ohio County – 20.5 ppg Jonathan Moss – Daviess County – 16.6 ppg 2nd Team Jack Logsdon – Grayson County – 19.4 ppg Gage Phelps – Daviess County – 15.7 ppg Dayshaun Sanders – Owensboro – 16.9 ppg Keaton Hughes – Owensboro – 16.6 ppg // 10.2 rpg Gunnar Revelett – Mclean County – 19.1 ppg
  2. Tournament season is finally upon us and the region feels wide open. Butler County comes in 10-0 against the region, but did not play a team in the 9th District due to cancelations. Daviess County is the only 20 game winner in the region but even they have had some head scratching losses over the past few weeks. Ohio County is playing well and has already punched their ticket to the regional tournament. The winner of Owensboro and Owensboro Catholic should gain a ton of momentum heading into the regional next week. Grayson County comes in hot, having beat Daviess County by double digits last week. Expect more intrigue at next week's regional tournament, as most all of the district games have heavy favorites. Keep your eye on Owensboro vs Owensboro Catholic, Mclean County vs Muhlenberg County and possibly Grayson County vs Edmonson County as the best first round games. District 12 – at Grayson County Butler County v Whitesville Trinity – it has been a rough rebuilding year for the Raiders as the Bears won both regular season match-ups handily. Expect the same in this one. Grayson County v Edmonson County – Grayson won both regular season meetings by double digits and have been playing really well to close the season. They won 4 straight games, including a dominating win over Daviess County. Edmonson comes in winning 3 of their last 4, but are still double digit underdogs in this match-up. This is a heated rivalry game so anything could happen. District 11 – at Meade County Breck County v Cloverport – The Tigers will be heavy favorites in round 1. They closed the regular season winning 9 of 10 and beat Cloverport by an average of 41 points in the regular season. Meade County v Hancock County – The Waves enter the postseason having won 7 of 10 and playing better. They handled Hancock County in the regular season by an average of 26.5 points. District 10 – at Ohio County Muhlenberg County at Mclean County – 2 of the Mustangs 7 wins came against Mclean County. They won the first game by 7 and the second game by 2. Muhlenberg has only scored 3 wins since Christmas. Mclean comes in on a down swing, having lost 9 of their last 13 games. Gunnar Revelett and Brodie Cline are as good as 1-2 punch as any team has in the region. Whichever team can get the most out of their star players should advance to the championship to take on Ohio County. District 9 – at Apollo Daviess County v Apollo – Apollo scored its first winning season since 2017 and has taken very positive steps forward as a program this season. That said, they got a nearly impossible draw with Daviess County in round one. The Panthers dominated this match-up in the regular season, winning by 34 and 35. Owensboro v Owensboro Catholic – This is easily the best game of the first round across the region. These bitter rivals played 2 great regular season games, and this one expects to be no different. Owensboro surrendered a double-digit lead in the final minutes to let game one slip away. Game two was controlled by Catholic but Owensboro made a late push to take the lead before falling short, 55-50. Keaton Hughes is a mis-match for Owensboro Catholic, as the Aces do not have a big. They have been able to offset that with a small lineup that outscores the Devils. Owensboro has also had a lot of trouble with the full court pressure that Catholic brings. If the Devils can take care of the ball, and find Hughes early and often, this one could get interesting. FINAL REGULAR SEASON RANKINGS, RECORD & REGIONAL RECORDS 1.

  3. With only one week left in the regular season, Daviess County returns to the top spot. They haven't played the schedule Butler County has played but they have shown more consistency overall. While it feels like those 2 programs are the overwhelming favorites to win the region, no one is safe from upset. Ohio County, Owensboro Catholic and Owensboro all have impressive wins this season to go along with some head scratching losses. Grayson County is full of young talent and have potential to be a dark horse team in the regional, if they make it to the Sportscenter. 1. Daviess County Panthers (22-5) – UP 1 – Wins (58-40 Mclean Co & 91-49 Logan Co) Since mid-December the Panthers have logged a 19-2 record and have proven to be the most consistent team in the region. Gage Phelps led the way with 21 in the win over Mclean while Jonthan Moss poured in 21 against Logan County. The Panthers broke a school record with 15 made 3 pointers against Logan County. They host Grayson County on Tuesday before closing the season at Union on Thursday. 2. Butler County Bears (17-8) – DOWN 1 – Wins (70-65 Grayson Co & 61-45 Ohio Co), Losses (72-53 Henderson Co) The Bears grinded out two good wins to open the week but fell in a disappointing defeat on Saturday. They secured the 1 seed in the 12th district with their win over Grayson County. Ty Price scored 27, Briar Griffin scored 20 and Justin Castlen logged a double double at 12 points and 11 rebounds. In the win over Ohio County, Lawson Rice scored 15 and pulled 15 boards. The Bears travel to Mclean County on Tuesday before hosting Owensboro on Thursday to close the regular season. 3. Ohio County Eagles (15-12) – UP 1 – Wins (48-47 Owensboro Catholic & 66-50 Madisonville), Losses (61-45 Butler Co) The Eagles bounced back from a disappointing second half effort in dramatic fashion, beating Owensboro Catholic with a 7-0 run in the final 50 seconds. Elijah Decker scored all 7, including a buzzer beating three-point shot, to win the game. He finished with 24. The Eagles close the season with road games against Hancock and Russellville on Tuesday and Friday. 4. Owensboro Catholic Aces (18-8) - SAME – Wins (67-48 Breck Co & 58-50 Union Co), Losses (48-47 Ohio Co) The Aces were tenths of a second away from a 3-0 week. They let one slip away at Ohio County on Thursday. Luke Beickman continues to be one of the best scorers in the region, putting up 17 against Breck, 23 against Ohio and 19 against Union Co. The Aces host Warren East Tuesday before traveling to University Heights on Thursday. 5. Owensboro Red Devils (12-12) – SAME – Wins (72-59 Henderson Co), Losses (58-56 Christian Co) The Devils snapped a 3 game skid with an impressive win over the #2 team in the second region, Henderson. Keaton Hughes put up a monster game with 30 points and 17 rebounds. Hughes is throwing his name in the All-Region 1st team conversation as he is scoring 16 ppg and pulling 10.3 rebounds per game on average. Owensboro hosts Hopkinsville Tuesday before traveling to Butler on Thursday to close the regular season. 6.Grayson County Cougars (15-11) – UP 1 – Wins (76-56 John Hardin, 70-62 Greenwood), Losses (70-65 Butler Co) Grayson County bounced back nicely after losing 3 of 5 the past couple of weeks. Against John Hardin, Jack Logsdon led the way with 21 and 11 boards while Kobe Martin scored 16. The Cougars look to be at full strength heading into the final week of the season. They travel to Daviess County on Tuesday before hosting Hancock to close the regular season on Friday. 7. Apollo Eagles (15-12) – UP 2 – Wins (58-56 Muhlenberg Co & 65-46 Crittenden Co) The young Eagles have come through their worst stretch of the season to win 4 of their last 5 games, including a nice home win over Muhlenberg. They have secured their first winning season since 2017. Coach Ryne Tinsley and staff deserve a ton of credit. Tate Powers had a nice week, leading the way with 19. Luke Jarboe has raised his season average to right at 13 points per game to lead the Eagles. They host Logan County tonight before John Hardin to close the season on Friday. 8. Breckinridge County Tigers (13-10) – DOWN 2 – Losses (67-48 Owensboro Catholic) The Fighting Tigers had their 7 game win streak snapped in a loss to Owensboro Catholic on Tuesday but have still been much better in the second half of the season. Lance Poole led the way in defeat with 12 points. Breck closes the season on the road with Trinity on Tuesday and Edmonson County on Thursday. 9. Mclean County Cougars (15-10) – DOWN 1 – Losses (58-40 Daviess Co) The Cougars continue to slid in this poll, but can’t be counted out come district tournament time. Coach Lynam has proven to be a winner and has put together one of the longest streaks of winning seasons in Mclean County basketball history. Gunnar Revelett is still one of the top scorers in the region at 19.6 ppg and Brodie Cline is right at 15 ppg for the Cougars. They will close the season with a home game against Butler County on Tuesday before traveling to Whitesville Trinity on Thursday. 10. Meade County Greenwave (13-14) – SAME – Wins (77-54 Bethlehem & 75-37 Whitesville Trinity), Losses (90-59 Central Hardin) The Waves are playing much better over the past few weeks as they have won 6 of their last 8 games. Garrett Hardesty had 31 while Hayden Shouse scored 24 in their win over Bethlehem. Peyton Johnson poured in 26 in the loss to Central Hardin. He also had 20 in the win over Trinity, while Hardesty led the way with 22. They will close the season at home with games against North Bullitt on Tuesday and Fairdale on Thursday. 11. Edmonson County Wildcats (12-13) – SAME – Wins (68-59 Marion Co & 79-43 Hancock Co) The Cats put a winning season in reach with 2 big wins this week. Wyatt Gravil led the way with 18 against Marion. Joshua Decker continues to put up near double double numbers with 11 ppg and 9 rpg on the season. Edmonson needs to win both games this week to finish with a winning season. They host Russellville on Tuesday and Breck Co on Thursday. 12. Muhlenberg County Mustangs (6-20) – SAME – Losses (65-63 Owensboro Catholic 2OT, 65-63 Caldwell Co & 71-65 Madisonville) Since defeating Grayson County on January 4th, the Mustangs are 1-12. The silver lining is they get Mclean County in the district tournament, who they have defeated twice this season. Madox Jernigan leads the team with 15.7 ppg. They travel to Logan County Tuesday before closing the season at home against Bowling Green on Friday. 13. Hancock County Hornets (9-17) – SAME – Wins (56-42 Whitesville Trinity), Losses (79-43 Edmonson Co) Alex Madden continued his great season this week, with another double double in the win over Trinity.

They close the season Saturday at Francis Parker.
  4. Even though there is only 2 weeks of regular season left, there are some big time match-ups remaining for the top teams. Butler County has a grind this week as they take on Grayson County, Ohio County and Henderson County. They also picked up Owensboro next week. Ohio County is playing its best basketball of the season as they get set to host Butler County and Owensboro Catholic this week. Breck County has won 7 straight games and look like a team that could win a couple of games in the regional tournament with the right draw. Butler County and Daviess County have proven themselves to be the region's best teams, but the gap is not big enough to rule out an upset winner come tournament time. 1. Butler County Bears (15-7) – SAME – Wins (97-68 Edmonson Co), Losses (74-70 Warren Central) Butler County opened the week with a tough overtime loss to Warren Central. The Bears led for most of the game before giving away in the final few minutes. While they should have won the game, it at least shows that they can compete against some of the upper level teams around western Kentucky. Ty Price led the way with 31. Ty followed that up with another monster game against Edmonson County, as he scored 40. Lawson Rice scored 22 in the district win. Price has upped his average to 29.5 ppg, which is good for 3rd in the state. The Bears travel to Grayson County tonight and Ohio County on Tuesday before returning home to face Henderson on Saturday. 2. Daviess County Panthers (20-5) – SAME – Wins (83-48 Apollo), Losses (69-64 Greenwood) The Panthers suffered a tough setback at Greenwood to open the week. The Gators knocked down 11 3 point shots to help power the upset. Daviess bounced back with a district win over Apollo on Friday. Jonathan Moss continues to emerge as one of the region’s best players. DeArron Watkins scored 21 in the win. The Panthers host Mclean County on Tuesday before traveling to Logan County on Friday. 3. Owensboro Catholic Aces (16-7) - SAME – Wins (65-63 Muhlenberg Co 2OT, 55-50 Owensboro), Losses (63-61 Evansville Memorial, IN) The Aces battled this week with tough wins over Muhlenberg and Owensboro. They fell short against a good Memorial team on Saturday. Luke Beickman had a great week. He scored 31 against Memorial, 19 against Owensboro and 26 against Muhlenberg. The Aces host Breck Co on Tuesday, travel to Ohio County on Thursday and Union County on Saturday. 4. Ohio County Eagles (13-11) – SAME – Wins (73-30 Whitesville Trinity & 55-51 Mclean) The Eagles stayed hot with 2 wins this week. They have now won 8 of their last 10 games. Elijah Decker has scored 22 or more in the last 6 games as he is playing some of the best basketball in the region. Carter Young has his season average to up near 16 ppg as well. The Eagles will be tested this week with home games against Butler County Tuesday and Owensboro Catholic on Thursday. They travel to Butler County on Saturday to face Madisonville. 5. Owensboro Red Devils (11-11) – SAME – Losses (73-59 Bowling Green, 55-50 Owensboro Catholic & 84-45 Evansville Harrison, IN) It was a tough week for the Devils against very good competition. They were up against the best team in the 4th region and the best team in Evansville in Harrison. Friday, they took a late lead over Owensboro Catholic but could not hold on against the Aces pressure defense. Keaton Hughes had 18 points and 12 boards in the loss to Catholic. The Devils will look to get back on track against Christian County Tuesday before hosting Henderson on Friday. 6. Breckinridge County Tigers (13-10) – UP 2 – Wins (87-80 South Spencer, 69-41 Hancock Co & 75-60 Grayson Co) The Fighting Tigers are one of the hottest teams in the region as they have now won 7 straight games. Jonah Miller scored 26 to lead a comeback win over South Spencer. Mercer Rogers scored 20 to lead the team in the district win over Hancock. On Saturday, Brayden Carmen took home player of the game honors in the win over Grayson County. They will travel to Owensboro Catholic on Tuesday before Mclean County on Friday. 7.Grayson County Cougars (13-10) – DOWN 1 – Wins (79-57 Mclean Co & 66-54 Whitesville Trinity), Losses (75-60 Breck Co) Grayson County had a couple guys out of the lineup this week but were able to get a district win over Trinity on Friday. Jack Logsdon had a big week with 36 against Mclean, 21 against Trinity and 21 against Breck.

Mclean County Cougars (15-9) – DOWN 1 – Wins (64-32 Heritage Christian), Losses (79-57 Grayson Co & 55-51 Ohio Co) The Cougars had another tough week but bounced back with a win over Heritage Christian on Saturday. They are just 3-7 in their last 10 games. Brodie Cline had 24 points in the loss to Grayson.

They have now won 4 of their last 5. Hayden Shouse scored 21 in the loss to E-Town while Peyton Johnson led the way with 16 against Cloverport. Meade hosts Bethlehem tomorrow before traveling to Central Hardin Friday and Whitesville Trinity on Saturday. 11. Edmonson County Wildcats (10-13) – SAME – Losses (61-54 Metcalfe Co & 97-68 Butler Co) It was a tough week for the Wildcats. They have now dropped 5 of their last 6 games. Joshua Decker continues to be a double-double machine as he scored 13 and pulled 14 boards in the loss to Metcalfe. The Cats travel to Marion County on Tuesday before hosting Hancock on Friday. 12. Muhlenberg County Mustangs (6-18) – SAME – Losses (65-63 Owensboro Catholic 2OT, 65-63 Caldwell Co & 71-65 Madisonville) The Mustangs rough season continued this past week. They have now lost 6 straight and 10 of their last 11 games. They battled Catholic into overtime on Tuesday before falling short. Jace Sommers and Issac Coats led the way with 15 each.

Hancock County Hornets (8-16) – SAME – Losses (39-37 Apollo & 69-41 Breck Co) The Hornets led Apollo for most of the game on Tuesday before getting beat on a last second shot. They are having a hard time finding consistent scoring in some close losses. Hancock looks to bounce back this week as they travel to Trinity and Edmonson County. 14. Whitesville Trinity Raiders (1-23) – SAME – Losses (73-30 Ohio Co, 66-54 Grayson Co & 67-45 Apollo) The Raiders battled Grayson County to a close district loss on Friday.

Cloverport Aces (3-19) – SAME – Wins (47-10 Kentucky School for the Deaf), Losses (76-31 Meade Co & 87-22 Brown) Cole Weatherholt had 14 points and 14 boards in the Aces in this week. They host Foundation Christian on Tuesday before Ft Knox on Friday.
  5. Butler County played a great game but came apart in the final few minutes. It will be a good learning experience for them moving forward. Unseld and Price are worth the price of admission. Nice finish from the Dragons!
  6. As Ordell stated, Moss went back to DC and was joined by Watkins from Madisonville. Add them to an already talented roster with Gage Phelps and this is what you are getting.
  7. Anyone know if there is a video stream for tonight's Butler County v Warren Central game?
  8. With only 3 weeks left in the regular season, district seeding is starting to become clear. In the 9th, Daviess County has all but secured the 1 seed, setting up a big Owensboro Catholic vs Owensboro first round match-up. In the 10th, Ohio County has punched their ticket, setting up Mclean and Muhlenberg in an elimination game. Breck County has secured the 1 seed in the 11th, pitting Meade County against Hancock.

  12. I broke this down by district for our radio show discussion today. It certainly seems time to make some changes. Number of schools per region... 1st = 15, 2nd = 16, 3rd = 15, 4th = 18, 5th = 19, 6th = 20, 7th = 22, 8th = 19, 9th = 21, 10th = 16, 11th = 19, 12th = 19, 13th = 17, 14th = 17, 15th = 15, 16th = 16 Seems like the schools in the central part(6th-9th) of the state could push out to the east and west and even the number of teams in each region. Seems a little unbalanced at the moment.
  13. 14. Whitesville Trinity Raiders (1-14) – SAME – Losses (65-37 Edmonson Co) The Raiders travel to Muhlenberg on Tuesday before hosting Grayson County on Friday. 15. Cloverport Aces (1-14) – SAME – Wins (60-36 Cannelton, IN), Losses (92-32 Apollo) The Aces got their first win over the season over Cannelton. Cole Weatherholt led the Aces with 21 points. Emery Dorcey scored 19 and pulled 10 boards. They host Breck County on Friday before traveling to Dawson Springs on Saturday. My Apologies that last weeks rankings got cut off. It happened this week as well, but I caught it and added the last 2 teams!
