Key 29th district seeding contest. The current district 29 standings:

 

South Oldham 1-0

Oldham County 1-1

North Oldham 0-0

Trimble County 0-2

 

The #1 seed is still truly wide-open between the three Oldham schools, so every game is huge.

 

North Oldham is 11-2 on the season and a win over Oldham County assures the Lady Mustangs of their third consecutive winning season, something that has never been done in Goshen.

 

North won the first-ever meeting between the two schools, on 12/20/2005, 58-53, but fate has not smiled on North Oldham since. Oldham County has won every game since that first meeting, and now has a 19-1 edge in the series. The Lady Colonels won the last meeting, 53-47, last January.

 

North is led by Riley Neal, who is one of the state's leading scorers at 23.7 ppg. (#7 in KY) The sophomore is shooting 63.3% from the floor and 82.4% at the line, and she leads North in rebounding as well, with 8.3 rebounds per game.

 

North has played a somewhat suspect schedule, but to the Lady Mustangs' credit, they have more than handled nearly everyone on that schedule. North leads Kentucky in team scoring at 75.5 ppg.

 

Oldham County comes into the contest a bit bruised and battered by a schedule that has included the likes of Assumption, South Laurel, Male (twice), Anderson County (twice), and Simon Kenton. Two of the Lady Colonels' biggest wins were over Male and Danville.

 

Oldham is led by senior Maddie Clark, who averages 13.8 ppg and went over 1,000 points for her career this season. The Lady Colonels' two bigs, Aliyah Swanson and Lakynn Goldsmith, combine for over 15 ppg and 11 rebounds per contest.
