Christian County remains the number one team in the Second Region with convincing wins over University Heights, Trigg County and Henderson County in consecutive days last week.

 

Sophomore Detorrion Ware kept his hot hand for the Colonels, knocking down 18-of-33 from behind the 3-point arc in those three wins.

 

Hopkinsville held off Trigg County 63-55 Saturday, two days after Trigg lost to Christian County 79-57.

 

Webster County (21-4) has won six straight games, and Madisonville (16-6) has won seven of eight.

 

While Hopkinsville and Christian County are the favorites to meet in the region title game, it should be fun watching the paths the teams have to take to get there.
