[se7ens]

Pulaski County won a thriller over fellow region contender Lincoln County in what was the biggest game of what turned out to be a very light week of games to cancellations due mostly to weather. Boyle County also fought off an upset scare and other teams continued to pickup important district wins.

1.      Pulaski County – Pulaski remains undefeated by defeating fellow regional contender Lincoln County 51 to 46 despite shooting 1 for 14 from 3 point range.
