Final from the KHSAA site. I’m surprised by this result. Was South Oldham at full strength?

It was wrong I guess tge now have it the opposite.

Weird game.

 

North's star center, Tyler Higdon, spent most of the game on the bench in foul trouble and was a non-factor scoring, although he did manage to score in double figures with 11 (unofficially). The possible battle between Higdon and South's big sophomore center, Ben Michel, never materialized.

 

South, on the other hand, couldn't capitalize in part because of a poor overall shooting night - from the field and from the line.

 

North had more turnovers....

 

South's Steve Simpson so frustrated with his starters' play that he benched them in the third period for some time.

 

North got another huge lift from sophomore guard "Rico" Carr-Cole, who came off the bench like a house on fire and scored (unofficially) 25 points. He hit 6 of 9 three pointers and all five of his free throws. Carr-Cole has now scored in double figures in 6 of his last 7 games and led (or tied) for the team lead in scoring in 4 of those 7 games - off the bench.

 

South was led by Seth Johnson, who tried to will the Dragons back into contention in the fourth period. The senior guard scored 12 of his team-high 24 points in the fourth. Johnson got to the line a lot, where he hit 10 of 12 free throws.

 

Unfortunately for South, the rest of the team hit only 7 of 14 at the stripe. Odd night for the best free throw shooting team in the region.

 

Interesting game - but like all North - South games, the intensity was tournament-level. And the game wasn't decided until the final minute.

 

LOOKING AHEAD: North will be the #2 seed in the district tournament and South the #3 seed, meaning the two will meet again in the first round of the 29th district tournament at Trimble County HS. It will be intriguing to see how the rematch goes...

What are the dates for that district tournament?

I'll confirm the dates, but I'm pretty sure they will be 2/25, 2/26, and 2/28.

.

I'll come back to this post to confirm

 

The tournament will be at Trimble County. Typically there will be one girls game and one boys game each night.
