Tuesday February 25th-Southwestern High School-7:00pm

 

 

(2) Southwestern vs. (3) McCreary Central

 

 

McCreary Central limps into the postseason with a 1-22 record and an 0-4 record against district opponents. They are coached by Robert Jones and will face off against Southwestern as the 3 seed in the 3 team 48th District. They haven't won a game since December 23 and the odds are against them to pick up a win Tuesday evening. Hopefully things will begin to turn around soon for McCreary Central. It has been a long season for McCreary Central.

 

 

Southwestern is 22-4 and is the 2 seed in the 48th District Tournament. Southwestern is 2-2 against district opponents with both wins coming against McCreary Central by the scores of 81-36 and 101-59. Southwestern has won their last 6 games and look to make it 7 when they face McCreary Central. Southwestern is hosting the tournament this year and hope that being the host school will allow home court advantage to play a role in their tournament success. Coached by Steve Wright and led by Justin Edwards, Adam Isaacs and Dylan Gaskin Southwestern looks to make a nice run this postseason.
