4. Taylor County (14-4): The Cardinals played two games this week in which they won both games.

5. Marion County (14-6): The Knights played three games this week and ended up winning two of the games. They beat district foe Adair County 61-54 on the road, they lost to district opponent Taylor County 80-64 on the road, and finished the week up beating Rockcastle County 84-55 at home. Losing to Taylor by the margin they did is disappointing, as the Knights have struggled lately. It was big for them to bounce back and get a blowout win over Rockcastle County.

7. Washington County (12-5): The Commanders played three games this week in which they won two of them. They beat Burgin 78-61 at home, lost to Danville 67-40 at home, and beat Hart County 72-66 at home. The Commanders have been solid all year and they have a big goal of winning district this year. Drew Yates had 35 points in the win over Burgin.

 

8. Bardstown (9-10): The Tigers played one game this week and that ended up in a loss. Bardstown lost to Central Hardin 52-45 at home. They played one of the region’s best to a game at the end, so you can’t be too upset with that performance. The Tigers like always seem to have a good shot of winning their district once again. Bardstown has four players who average 10 to 12 points per game showing how balanced they are.

 

9. Campbellsville (10-9): The Eagles played three games in the 5th Region All A Classic which resulted in them winning the whole thing. They beat Caverna 76-28 at home, they beat Green County 53-47 on the road, and beat Bethlehem 61-46 in the championship.

In the win over Caverna, Nataj Sanders led the Eagles with 16 points.

 

10. North Hardin (6-13): The Trojans played one game this week and that resulted in a win. North Hardin beat Meade County 73-55 at home. Record won’t show it, but North Hardin has played good ball lately as they have one of the toughest schedules in the 5th Region. They are a team that nobody will want to play when it comes district tournament time. Queshaun Davis had 24 points in the win over Meade County.

 

11. Adair County (8-10): The Indians had a rough week as they lost both games this week. The week got worse, as they also lost their leading scorer Anthony Payne who left the basketball program this week.
