63rd District Championship

?? Greenup County Musketeers (17-14) | ?? Russell Red Devils (17-11)

? Greenup County High School in Lloyd

? | These two haven't met with a district title on the line since 2017, which Greenup won, representing their most recent championship on the hardwood. To end a seven year drought, the Musketeers need only beat a team they've handled comfortably twice this season. Eli Adkins and Bryson Chandley took turns working the Devils over and Greenup owns a +29 advantage on the boards over both contests. Russell's freshmen create most of the headlines, but the seniors - Fleming, Quinn, Kaczmarcyk - need to show up, something they haven't done yet against Greenup.
