What a crazy week but here goes.....

 

Top 10

 

1. Rowan County (18-6) The Vikings scored easy district wins over Fleming County and Bath County to secure the #1 seed. Ashland, East Carter, and Morgan County will present a much tougher week for the region favorites. Ryne Callahan continues to be the best senior player in the 16th.

 

2.Boyd County (19-6) The Lions lost three straight before securing the 64th District's #1 seed with a hard fought win over Fairview. The Lions were hammered by Lawrence County on Tuesday and upset by a hot East Carter team on Thursday in Grayson. A date with Elliott County on Thursday will be interesting. Conner Gauze has been the Lions anchor recently.

 

3. East Carter (13-11) The Raiders garner this week's third spot with their recent strong play. Connor Greene and Evan Brooks were key in the win over Boyd County. Raceland, Rowan County, and Fairview present tough challenges this week.

 

3B. Elliott County (17-6) The Lions had good wins over Ashland and West Carter but had the shocker score of the week as well. Wolfe County squeaked out a 36-32 win in Sandy Hook. Hunter Holbrook had a big week including a 30 point outing vs Ashland.

 

3C. Morgan County (16-5) The duo of Jordan Perry and Holden Redparth fueled wins over East Carter, and Nicholas County. Perry continues to put up big scoring numbers for the Cougars. Rowan County and Lawrence County will give us an indication of good the Cougars are at this point of the season.

 

6. Raceland (16-8) The Rams lost two of three and lost the most important game of the week to Greenup County. So Thursday's matchup with Lewis County is huge for seeding in the 63rd. A win and #1 seed a loss and three teams are tied. The return of Connor Messer will be a huge boost for the Rams down the stretch.

 

7. Lewis County (10-12) The Lions knocked off a game Russell squad 63-60 last Friday night. Trenton Walker led the way in the big seed win. Jordan Davis and Jake Parker made huge shots down the stretch. A win over Raceland could vault the Lions to the #1 seed with some luck at the draw.

 

8. Greenup County (8-16) The Musketeers roller coaster season rolls on. The Rams got a huge seed win over Raceland on Thursday only to fall at home on Saturday to Bracken County. The Musketeers get a breather this week with games vs Rose Hill and Bath County.

 

9. Fairview (14-8) The Eagles return to the Top Ten after a huge win over Raceland and splitting games with Boyd County and St Patrick. The return of Isaiah King has added even more athleticism to the squad. A district date with Ashland in two weeks have the Westwood faithful geeked up.

 

10. West Carter (8-14) The Comets are steadily improving as a fifth meeting with Elliott County awaits in the postseason. A tight loss to the Lions 47-44 and a win 15 point win over Powell County have given the Comets hope. Their twin towers of Ben Jordan and Hayden Rose continue to be a matchup nightmare for opponents

Good job. After all of those upsets last week hard to sort it all out. Looks good though.

Fleming County is hitting a bad patch now.

Fleming County is hitting a bad patch now.

 

Yes they are. I still think they beat Menifee county and move on to play Rowan.

Wednesday. Morgan at Lawrence

My bad Shoelaces. That is definitely a must see game.

Morgan defeats Lawrence at LCHS.
