Two of the top teams in the 5th region will meet Saturday night at 6:00 CT at Russell County High School with a trip to the 2A State tournament in Owensboro on the line. Adair is #1 in the 5th region in RPI with a 12-1 record while Larue is 6th with a 9-6 record. Larue is as hot as anyone thought. To give an idea of some of the top teams each have played Adair has wins over Taylor County and Etown. Larue has wins over Taylor County, Washington County, and North Laurel and close losses to North Hardin, Frederick Douglass and Desales. 

Notable Stats:

-Both teams shooting over 50% from the field and 40% from 3 point line

-Larue is led by 6'5 Daniel Allen averaging 22 mpg, 6'2 Jagger Mardis 18 ppg, and 6'5 Landon Blakey's 11 ppg

-Adair is led by 6'0 Connor Loy averaging 17.8 ppg, 6'7 Isaiah Cochran 17 ppg, and 6'6 Brayton Coomers 11 ppg

This should be a fun matchup.

Adair has been the best team in the Region so far IMO. Larue started 2-4 but since then has been very impressive. Will be a barn burner in Russell County.
