Top 10

 

1. Rowan County (16-6) The Vikings destroyed Greenup County last Tuesday in a rematch of last year's first round region game. A 60-42 road loss to Mason County brought the Vikings back down to the earth. Ryne Callahan continues to be the catalyst for the offense. District seed games with Fleming County and Bath County are on tap this week.

 

1A. Boyd County (18-4) The Lions split games with Russell and Madison Central last week. It was an impressive showing in Richmond with Logen Thovsen leading the way with 14 points in the tough 60-59 loss to the Indians. The Lions bench has been impressive of late and that bodes well for the postseason.

 

3. Elliott County (15-5) An Elite Eight appearance in the All A state highlighted the Lions week. Eighth grader Corbin Spencer showed his talent on the state stage with 20 points in a win over KCD. This team continues to play good basketball for Coach Greg Adkins. A busy week at home for the Lions with West Carter, Ashland, and Wolfe County visiting Sandy Hook.

 

4.East Carter (11-10) The Raiders are now above .500 after wins over Ashland and West Carter last week. Big man Evan Brooks is a great complement to the perimeter duo of Connor Greene, Cameron Sparks, and Donald Damron. A district preview Tuesday with Morgan County should be interesting.

 

5. Morgan County (14-5) Jordan Perry and Holden Redparth led the Cougars to a nice win over Lewis County Friday night 59-42 after easily disposing Fleming County Tuesday 80-52. A nice three game homestand begins tonight with Paintsville.

 

6. Raceland (15-6) The Rams had an up and down week. A tough home loss to St Patrick 62-51 was followed by a hard fought road win over West Carter. Jacob Blair and Tyler Morris continue to be mainstays for the Rams. Rivals Fairview and Greenup County are on the schedule this week. A win over GC gives the rams the district's #1 seed and a date with Russell in the district tournament.

 

7. Lewis County (9-12) Like most region teams the Lions continue to search for consistency. A solid 71-61 win over Estill County was followed by a disappointing 59-42 road loss to Morgan County. Jordan Davis is streaky but can really help the scoring load carried by Jake Parker and Trenton Walker when he is on. The Lions try to get their hopes for the #1 seed alive with a win over Russell this Friday.

 

8. Fleming County (9-13) The Panthers are mired in a three game losing streak. Losses to Paris, Morgan County, and Harrison County are not bad though. Wilder Willimas continues to be the work horse for the Panthers. A tough week lies ahead with Rowan County, Campbell County, and Ashland on the docket.

 

9. West Carter (7-13) The Comets are steadily improving as the postseason approaches. Big men Ben Jordan and Hayden Roe are now getting scoring help from shooting guard Dalton Brown who was on fire in narrow losses to Raceland and East Carter last week. The Comets tangle with Elliott County for the fourth time tonight in Sandy Hook.

 

10. Greenup County (7-15) The talented Musketeers round out this week's Top 10. An embarrassing loss to Rowan County was followed with a solid district win over Russell 57-47 and a tough road loss at Pikeville 70-62. Gage Hughes and Jair Jackson form a nice one-two punch for GC. A huge district game at Raceland Thursday highlights their upcoming week.
