Then I would say it counts

St. Henry played and beat Bluegrass United last year and it counted toward the team's official win total, which added to coach Faust's official win total. So that's two bits of evidence now that seems to support a win over Bluegrass United as being a bona fide KHSAA-endorsed win. The kicker: A 14-10 St. Henry squad won by just two last year, 69-67, at Bluegrass United. Which begs the question: Where do home-school teams play home games? Presumably not in the living room.

4️⃣6️⃣0️⃣  RECORD TIED: From Cooper Coach Tim Sullivan. What a great tribute, via Twitter, by a fellow member of the coaching fraternity.

Coach Dave Faust notched career win No. 460 tonight. He ties Ken Shields and needs one win to pass Shields for most all-time in Ninth Region history.
