Seems like that post-All A hangover gets a couple good teams every year.

Much bigger than an All A hangover is the fact that Reddick didn't play. He's a big part of the offensive success.

No doubt Reddick's absence was felt last night as Henderson County was able to put additional pressure and coverage on Perry and Shoulders.  Cooper Davenport for Henderson was fantastic last night.  He hit 8 3's, tying a school record, and made big plays when they needed it scoring 33 points on the night.  The Colonels were able to win despite Lyon County forcing 18 turnovers, pulling 20 offensive rebounds, and doubling up Henderson County on FT attempts.  In addition to Davenport's shot-making, the Colonel's depth proved to be a factor in this one.  Henderson County got great play from the bench to pull the upset.  

Hopefully, Lyon County can get back to full strength as the postseason is right around the corner.  Even without Reddick they are one of the best teams in the state but it will be hard for them to win the big one if not at full strength.

After watching him hobble against Newport, not playing was absolutely the right decision. Sacrificing a couple wins over the next 2-3 weeks is worth it if you can have him back close to full strength for the postseason.

Henderson has been flying under the radar all year. I’ll get to see them live later in the year.

Reddick is a 1/3 of the 3 - headed monster. Lyon is not one of the best teams in Ky without him. Hopefully he fully recovers by postseason play.

This score surprised me until I saw that Reddick was out.  I'm still a little surprised, but his absence explains a lot.
