An exciting and telling week in the 11th Region this past week. Between the 2A and the All A mix in some city and district match ups and the rankings are starting to become more and more clear. Congrats to the Frankfort Panthers on winning the 11th Region All A Classic and to the Lexington Catholic Knights for advancing all the way to the semi finals of the 2A State Tournament. Lets check out what else happened around the region this week!

 

TEAM RANKINGS

 

1. Lexington Catholic (17-2) - The Knights had a busy week this past week starting off with a district game against Lafayette that they won then hit the road to Owensboro for the 2A State tournament. The Knights won their first game over Calloway County big then fell to Bourbon County in a close intense game. Worse then the loss for the Knights was Luke Wedding being ejected which will cost him 2 more games and they come at the wrong time as the Knights have a tough schedule this week. Congrats to Ben Johnson and Jack Gohmann for picking up All Tournament Team Honors at the 2A State Championshps.

The Knights are currently the 1 seed in the 43rd District.

 

2. Henry Clay (11-5) - The Blue Devils picked up 2 wins this week over Bryan Station and Paul Laurence Dunbar.
