• Sacred Heart went on a 18-0 run in the first quarter, and the game went to a running clock near the end of the third. 

• The Valkyries scored 41 points off of Jaguars turnovers. ?

• Mercy was without the services of guard Alyssa Murphy, their second leading scorer and rebounder.

3️⃣5️⃣ The Jaguars are the last team to defeat the Valkyries - a double overtime win at Mercy, Feb 13, 2022. Since then, SHA has 35 consecutive wins vs. Bluegrass opponents.

Sacred Heart and Mercy have the two highest "Strength of Schedule" rankings per the "Massey Ratings." 

They'll continue that trend to finish out the regular season ~ 

KY #6 Mercy (18-9) is on the road for both games: Monday at #8 Covington Holy Cross, and Thursday at #13 Bowling Green. 

KY #1/ESPN US #14 Sacred Heart (26-3) hosts #18 Bullitt East on Thursday.

Mercy is going to be in a very salty mood at Holy Cross this evening!  Should be a great game!!

Great atmosphere!   Standing room only with a plethora of HS coaches and players there as well.  This is how girls HS basketball should be in this state.

Glad to hear it, and that you're supporting the game and teams in person. I think the same thing will be said when Mercy comes up to play Covington Holy Cross tonight at "The Finn." 

I won't be able to make it, so I'm hoping @Baseball Nut 24 and the good folks at Holy Cross Radio will be covering the game.
