All State Baseball Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Mother nature finally showed up and does what she always does, cancelling games. Because of that, the games that got played wouldn't make any difference in the rankings this week. 1) Knott County Central (15-7): The Patriots had a good week but a not so good week if that makes any sense? The Patriots picked up two wins and extended their win streak to 10 straight games. Those wins came by defeating Letcher County Central 60-43 and Middlesboro 57-45 in the all a state tournament. The Patriots had took an earlier season defeat at Middlesboro, losing 45-40. The Patriots loss last week came in horrible blowout fashion, losing 65-32 to Walton-Verona in the second round of the all a state tournament. The Patriots will look to get back on the winning side of things but they will have to do so away from Hindman. The Patriots will be at June Buchanan on Wednesday. Friday at Perry County Central and Saturday at Wolfe County. 2) Breathitt County (14-6): The Bobcats extended their win streak to 6 straight after picking up 3 straight wins last week. Those three wins came by the form of double digits. Breathitt County got things started off by defeating Buckhorn 75-62, defeating Wolfe County in a high scoring affair 98-86, and defeating Sayre 54-44. Breathitt County will look to keep the momentum and win streak going this week but it won't be easy, Tuesday at Hazard, Thursday at home against Cordia and Saturday vs. Jackson County at Buckhorn in the Scott Blank Classic. 3) Perry County Central (10-10): The Commodores, seem to have gotten things turned around. At the start of the season and most of the way through it, going 5-7 in the last part of 2018. Since the new year started the Commodores have gone 5-3 with a current 4 game win streak. Perry County Central cruised past Wolfe County 104-76 and Leslie County 72-60 last week. The Commodores will look to continue the momentum this week. They are at home for most of the week. Hosting Owsley County on Tuesday, Red Bird on Thursday, Knott County Central on Friday and they will be participating in the Scott Blank Classic at Buckhorn on Saturday but a TBA opponent is listed. 4) Hazard (18-4): Hazard won their only game last week, defeating Sheldon Clark 56-47. That win extends the Bulldogs win streak to 4 straight and they have won 11 of their last 12 games. Hazard will host Breathitt County on Tuesday in a big #4 vs. #2 showdown. They will be at Barbourville on Thursday. 5) Buckhorn (15-7): Buckhorn continues to have success but that success hasn't showed up against the big dogs in the 14th region. Buckhorn would fall to Breathitt County 75-62 last week before cruising past Oneida Baptist Institute 81-48. Buckhorn will look to continue their success this week. They are at Estill County on Monday, hosting Leslie County on Friday and Prestonsburg on Saturday, both in the Scott Blank Classic. 6) Letcher County Central (11-8): Despite picking up wins, the Cougars have struggled as of late. The last 7 games for Letcher County Central have gone like this, win, loss, win, loss, win, loss, win. In order to win region, you can't have any losses region but first you have to get out of district. If Letcher County Central can't get things turned around, they may just be watching the regional tournament from home. Can Letcher County Central get things turned around this week? Monday hosting Magoffin County, Tuesday at Betsy Layne, Thursday at Pike County Central, Friday hosting Jenkins and Saturday hosting Estill County. 7) Cordia (3-16): The Lions finally got a win and snapped a 5 game losing streak.

The Wolves took a hard 104-76 beat down from Perry County Central on their own home floor. The Wolves would follow that up with a 98-86 loss to Breathitt County, also on their own home court.
