We've made it through week 2 of the 2020/21 season. We've seen up and downs from across the 14th region. Did anything change from last week? Let's take a look.

* District Games.

 

1) Knott County Central (4-1):   Previous Rank: 1

This week: 1/18 at June Buchanan*, 1/20 at Cordia*, 1/23 vs. North Laurel

The Patriots entered last week 4-0 with one game on the schedule. Knott County Central would see their undefeated streak come to an end by the hands of Belfry 67-60. The Patriots shouldn't have much of a problem with the two upcoming district games with June Buchanan and Cordia to begin the week but when they host North Laurel on Saturday, they will have their hands full.

 

2) Hazard (4-2):   Previous Rank: 3

This week: 1/18 vs. Cordia, 1/23 at Owsley County

After two straight losses to open up the season, the Bulldogs have countered it with a 4 game win streak. Wins include; 66-58 Wolfe County, Powell County 80-38, Buckhorn 81-60 and Perry County Central 58-48. 3 of the 4 were on the road.
