Bracken County vs. Saint Patrick

Tuesday, February 20th | 8:00PM at The Fieldhouse

2018 39th District Tournament

 

The Polar Bears and Saints meet in the first round of the 2018 39th District Tournament at the Fieldhouse. The last time these two played was in last years tournament with Bracken County winning 68-53. Jason Hinson and Aaron Rigdon will meet for the first time since they were players at their respective schools in 1995.

 

Polar Bears: Bracken County comes into the tournament at a record of 4-23. After their devastating loss to Williamstown we've seen a different team in Brooksville. Giving up an 11 point loss to Robertson County after leading most of the game, and defeating West Carter by 12. Bracken County is led in scoring by Trey Deaton, Mason Tucker, and the Fisher brothers all averaging around 9ppg. The Polar Bears have had trouble scoring all year and have been inconsistent in finding a nightly leading scorer. The Polar Bears are coached by Jason Hinson.

 

Saints: Saint Patrick comes into the tournament with a record of 11-19. The hot shooting team out of Maysville is shooting 37% from behind the arc on the season. The team led by first year coach Aaron Rigdon, has lost their last three games to Ryle, Villa Madonna, and high scoring 89-102 loss to Nicholas County, in which the Saints received 4 technicals. The Saints are led in scoring and rebounding by Brevin Jones (17ppg, 7rpg), who is back after missing last season to a knee injury. Falling Jones is Isaiah Garrison who is averaging 14ppg, followed by Baylen Bauer and the Swolsky brothers with 11ppg. The Saints have been battling injuries the past two seasons and finally all look to be healthy for Tuesday.

I’m pulling for Saints to make region. Would love to see those kids play in the regional tourney.

I’m pulling for an Augusta/Bracken final. Doesn’t get much better than that, especially in recent history.

Yeah, the only thing better than one sub-par 500 team from the same District advancing to the Regional is two teams.

Nobody from the district will win a game in the region IMO. Might as well give the people what they want which is Augusta/Bracken or St. Pat/Mason.

Hey it's none of our faults that the sky is falling in the land of Royalty. But we'll all be more than happy to beat them.

What's your prediction on the game?

[UK Fanatic]

I think the Saints will take this one, although I haven't seen the Polar Bears play this season. With that said, never count out a Jason Hinson coached team.

Afraid you are spot-on this time.

Saints by a Touchdown.

[sphs2017]

I think most fans want to see Augusta/St. Patrick final. Plus technicals called in the Nicholas County game are not revelant for this post. No one was ejected or suspended and all are playing in the district tournament. Go Saints!!

Wouldn't go that far. Harrison County or Nicholas County could await the winner.

[brooksville]

Is St. Pat really favored by that much?

[Randy Parker]

I really don't know who to pick here, but I will make a pick by lunch tomorrow and ruin one of these team's day.
