12th Region Notebook week 1

 

It was a great start to the 2014-15 high school basketball season for the 12th Region with multiple teams recording impressive victories over good out of region competition. None made more of a statement as to the quality of teams in this years 12th region than Southwestern’s convincing win over 14th Region power and state ranked #19 Perry County Central 99-75. With that win the Warriors have started the season 2-0 and are making their declaration as to why they believe they are the best team in the 12th Region.

 

Other notes:

 

-Southwestern shot 60% (40-67) from the field and 60% (9-15) from 3 point range in the win over Perry County Central. Freshman Steven Fitzgerald recorded a double double with 21 points and 14 rebounds.

 

-Lincoln County starts the season 3-0 with two impressive wins over the 11th Region’s Lafayette 65-52 and 1st Region’s McCracken County 63-46. Lincoln County’s Timmy Taylor was player of the game at the Marshall County Hoopfest vs McCracken County.

Good stuff right here. Great job, SHS Future!!!

Great job SHS Future. Very good breakdown of the 12th region. Hope it continues thru the season. I keep saying it, top to bottom I would put the 12th region up against ANY other region in the state.

Three good games on my radar tonight:

 

Wayne County at Lincoln County

West Jessamine at Danville

Boyle County at East Jessamine

I would love to be able to travel to Lincoln tonight to see the match-up with Wayne Co. Should be a great game! I'm feeling the Patriots may end the Cardinals 12th Region winning streak.

Great job SHS Future, we need to see and hear thing like this. Like BC23 said, hope you keep it coming all year and I would agree with the Lincoln vs Wayne game tonight.
