This week's story was Lyon County’s chase for an All-A State title before the senior trio of Perry, Shoulders, and Reddick graduate.  The Lions rolled past Owensboro Catholic in the opening round and overcame the pesky defense of Walton-Verona in the quarterfinals.  However, Lyon County came up short, 50-48,  in a grind-it-out game against Newport in the semifinal round.  The Lions played without Jack Reddick in this one and his absence was certainly felt.  The Lions will look to bounce back in a battle of the region's top teams on Tuesday as they host Henderson County. 

Henderson County went 2-0 in district play this week with a 19-point win at Webster County and a 9-point win at home against the much-improved Union County Braves.  University Heights had an impressive week defeating McCracken County by 20 points at home and earning a big district win over Christian County.  Star sophomore Tylin George took a scary fall in the game against Christian and the region’s thoughts and prayers go out to this young man and the Blazer community. Madisonville had a good week with wins over Hopkinsville and Caldwell County on the road.  Lastly, Hopkinsville defeated Christian County 57-55 at home splitting the series between these crosstown rivals for the season.

Reddick played almost the entire game against Newport (he sat for a brief spell at the end of the 1st quarter and appeared to get his ankle re-taped). However, he only took one shot and was obviously hobbled by injury. The team certainly suffered without his usual scoring.

Thanks for the correction.  I did not see the game for myself, only the box score, and was surprised to see that he did not score.  I just assumed he didn't play.
