Scott County (12-4) looks to maintain the upper hand through the first round of games in the 42nd District by winning on the road at Bryan Station (10-5). Scott County's 89-86 win over Henry Clay last Friday gives them the early upper hand as Bryan Station lost 52-48 to Henry Clay earlier in the season. A Bryan Station win would mean a 3-way tie at the top.

 

The Cardinals are led by senior point guard Quin Richardson, who missed Tuesday's 59-47 victory over Woodford County, due to the flu. He should be OK by Friday and Scott County will need him to be. In his absence Tuesday, Scott County played their worst game of the season in a ragged combined 62 turnover game. Trent Gilbert led the Cards with 22 points against Woodford, but seven turnovers. Jalen Haddix, who was huge with 18 points in the over Henry Clay, played against Woodford, but was also battling sickness and didn't have his best performance.

 

Bryan Station comes into the game on a four-game winning streak, including a big region win over Lafayette Tuesday. Larry Morton has led the way for the Defenders with 17 points and seven rebounds per contest, including 23 points against Lafayette. Marcellious Washington has added 11 points per game, while Tyler Smith gets eight points and eight rebounds per contest. Junior guard Jordan Henry scored 13 in the win over Lafayette.

 

Expect Bryan Station to give the Cardinals a good run Friday, but I expect Scott County to pull out the victory by 8-10 points. To do so, Scott County will have to keep the Defenders out the offensive glass and not give too many threes to Morton and Washington. For Bryan Station to win, they will have to minimize the backcourt duo of Richardson and Gilbert, and nobody has really done that all season.

SCHS. I saw where Richardson didn't play vs. Woodford on Tuesday. I would assume he will be back. Not sure that Bryan Station believes they can beat SCHS. When was the last time that happened? Big win for Station over Lafayette. The 11th is just crazy.
