12th Region Boys Basketball Week 7 Review

[se7ens]

Week 7 saw many teams go dormant in terms of game play thanks to the wintry weather. Even though action was limited, we did see a classic rivalry game give us a jumper in the rankings and some impressive star performances from a couple of the region’s best players.

Team Rankings

1. Boyle County – The Rebels returned to action after an extended break, defeating Allen County-Scottsville 86 – 74. Luke Imfeld scored 27. They have a week on the road, facing Danville, Danville Christian, and East Jessamine all away.

2. Somerset – The Briar Jumpers had only one game last week, falling to powerful North Laurel 75 – 69. Kade Grundy scored 27, complemented by Gavin Stevens with 23. They face East Jessamine and West Jessamine this week with Washington County in the first round of the All A in the middle.

3. East Jessamine – The Jaguars jump up the rankings this week thanks to a major win over rival West Jessamine and the dormancy of a couple of other regional contenders. Devin Johnson scored 24 in the victory over the Colts. We will know more about East’s true place in the region this week as they take on number 2 Somerset and number 1 Boyle County before playing Collins at home.

4. West Jessamine – The Colts fell in the second act of their yearly series with rival East Jessamine. They face off against Paul Laurence Dunbar, Somerset, and Danville this week.

5. Pulaski County - The Maroons did not play last week but have McCreary Central and North Laurel on this week’s slate of competition.

6. Lincoln County - The Patriots’ had an off week and return to action this week with Danville Christian, Madison Southern, Wayne County, and Casey County all on the schedule.

7. Danville - The Admirals, like Pulaski County and Lincoln County, have not played since February 9^th. They have Boyle County, West Jessamine, and Danville Christian on the schedule this week.

8. Rockcastle County - The Rockets were another victim of cancellations as they were off. They face Southwestern, Barbourville, and Frankfort this week.

9. Casey County – The Rebels were off last week and return to action against Somerset Christian School and Lincoln County this week.

10. McCreary County Central - The Raiders had an off week but have Pulaski County, Clinton County, South Laurel, and Russell County on this week’s schedule.

11. Southwestern – The Warriors were off last week but return to play with Rockcastle County and Glasgow this week.

12. Mercer County - The Titans had a win over Franklin County, led by Evan Hart with 20. This was their first win in February so they remain at twelve but this could be the launching point for a late season surge. They face Campbellsville, Buckhorn and Burgin this week and they have the potential to go undefeated.

13. Wayne County - The Cardinals had a week off last week. They have Somerset Christian School, Lincoln County, and Lynn Camp this week.

14. Garrard County – The Golden Lions defeated Danville Christian 59 -56 on the road. They face Russell County, Taylor County, and Lafayette this week.

15. Somerset Christian – Somerset Christian has Lynn Camp, Wayne County, Russell County, and Casey County this week after no games this past week.

16. Danville Christian - The Warriors fell to Garrard County. Titus Boyd had 20 in the loss. They face Lincoln County, Boyle County, Portland Christian, and Danville this week.

Tough slate for DCA this week playing everyone in the 45th district.  Surprising they almost beat Garrard Co.  Could that 4/5 seed game this year be interesting...

Very surprising score indeed.
