11th Region: Week 10

Week 10 in the 11^th Region didn’t have as many head to head matchups between the top teams as Week 9.  But there were several big games, headlined by The Jock Sutherland Classic at Lafayette, that featured an excellent slate of games.  We’re down to just 2 weeks of regular season games remaining before District Tournament time is upon us.  A lot of the matchups going forward will have seeding implications for the postseason.  Here is where we stand going into penultimate week of regular season games.

1. Great Crossing (22-4)

The Warhawks ran their win streak to 14 in a row, and have yet to lose in 2025.  They weren’t challenged in any of their 3 games last week, beating three 11^th Region foes by a combined 123 points.  The most impressive win of the three was a 90-58 rout of Henry Clay on the road.  Vince Dawson drained eight 3 pointers in the win to lead the team in scoring with 30 points.  Malachi Moreno added another double/double with 24 points and 14 rebounds.  In the following game, Great Crossing placed 4 players in double figures in a 97-50 throttling of Franklin County.  Moreno had another double/double with 22 and 11, while LJ Holman added 18, Gage Richardson 15 and Orem Brady 13.  The Warhawks finished up the week on Saturday by blowing out crosstown rival Scott County 117-73.  Great Crossing plays twice this week.  On Tuesday they travel to George Rogers Clark before returning home to play South Laurel.  GRC is ranked in at least 3 different ranking lists and probably presents the best chance to end the Warhawks win streak heading into the post season.

2. Frederick Douglass (20-2)

The Broncos also went a perfect 3-0 last week, and are carrying a 16 game win streak of their own.  Like Great Crossing, Freddy D has yet to lose in 2025.  On Tuesday, the Broncos got by district foe Sayre, in a close one at home, 74-68.  Jaunte Jenkins and DeMarcus Surratt paced the Broncos with 20 points each, while Aveion Chenault added 15.  Their second game of the week was a 105-74 road win over Scott County in which 14 different Broncos got into the scorebook, and 5 finished with double figures.  Douglass wrapped up their week with a 70-58 win over a good Harlan County team in the Jock Sutherland Classic at Lafayette.  DeMarcus Surratt led the Broncos with 17 points.  Tate Robinson added 15, while Aveion Chenault and Jaunte Jenkins rounded out the double figure scorers with 13 and 12 respectively.  The Broncos have 2 games this week, both on the road.  On Tuesday, they go across town to take on Henry Clay, and Friday will find them at Sayre.

3. Bryan Station (19-5)

The Defenders had a pair of one point games in their 2 contests last week.  For the second time in 10 days, they were pushed to the limit by Sayre, and like in the first game between the two, Station came out on top 43-42.  The two games with the Spartans have been settled by a total of 5 points, with the first one going to overtime.  On Saturday, the Defenders took part in the Jock Sutherland Classic at Lafayette, where they had to take on statewide top 10 Danville Christian Academy.  An already difficult task was made even more difficult for Station, who had to play without leading scorer Amari Owens, who was out with the flu.  Owens absence was definitely felt as the Crusaders were able to hold Bryan Station to 44 points in a 45-44 DCA win.   Station will look to put that loss behind them on Tuesday when they travel to Scott County to take on the Cardinals, before returning home to play Henry Clay on Friday.

4. Henry Clay (17-5)

The Blue Devils split their two games last week, as they were blown out by Great Crossing 90-58, before rebounding with an 85-75 win over Oldham County in the Jock Sutherland Classic.  Kayson Brown led Henry Clay in scoring in both games.  He scored 13 against the Warhawks, and poured in 21 points in the win over Oldham.  The Blue Devils have a pair of tough games on tap this week as they host Frederick Douglass on Tuesday, before travelling to Bryan Station on Friday. 

5. Madison Central (17-7)

Madison Central also split a pair of games last week.  On Tuesday they dropped a home game against North Laurel 75-57.  Jake Feldhaus poured in 31 points for the Indians in the loss, while Luke Asher added 16.  The Indians were able to rebound from the loss by taking down Collins 61-53 on Saturday.  Feldhaus again led the team in scoring with 20 points, while Cody Morrison added 15 and Cam Steele chipped in with 10.  Central has 3 games this week.  On Tuesday they host surging Lexington Catholic, before going on the road to take on 12^th Region contender Mercer County.  The Indians week concludes with a Friday night visit from Paul Laurence Dunbar. 

6. Lexington Catholic (16-9)

The Knights saw their 7 game win streak broken last week in a 76-59 road loss to George Rogers Clark.  Overall, however, they had a solid week with a 2-1 record that included a 47-46 win over Louisville Trinity.  In the loss to GRC Hank Woodall led the team in scoring with 12, while Jacob Holland and Ryan Harward each added 11.  Catholic didn’t have any time to dwell on the loss to GRC as they had to turn around and take on Scott County the next night.  The short turnaround proved to not be an issue as the Knights were able to breeze by the Cardinals 81-53.  The easy win over Scott County was followed by a visit from Louisville Trinity on Friday.  Catholic was able to squeak by the Shamrocks in a nailbiter, 47-46 to win their 9^th game in their last 10 tries.  The Knights have two games this week.  On Tuesday, they travel to Richmond to take on the team ranked just ahead of them, Madison Central, before returning home to face LCA on Friday.

7. Sayre (15-8)

The Spartans went 1-2 last week, though the two losses were to the 2^nd and 3^rd ranked teams in the 11^th, and both were single digit defeats.  On Tuesday Sayre took Frederick Douglass to the wire before falling 74-68 on the road.  In the loss, Brock Coffman led the team in scoring with 21 points, and also pulled down 14 rebounds, while Jaxson Howard added 19.  Friday saw the Spartans square off with Bryan Station for the 2^nd time in 10 days.  This game, like the first, was competitive from start to finish.  Unfortunately, as in the first meeting Sayre came up just short in a 43-42 loss.  Saturday, saw the Spartans step out of the 11^th Region to take on East Jessamine, who was overmatched in a 77-54 Sayre victory.  The Spartans have 3 games in the coming week.  They host North Laurel on Tuesday, travel to Anderson County on Wednesday, and return home for a rematch with Frederick Douglass on Friday. 

8. Madison Southern (12-12)

The Eagles won their only contest last week, 79-64 over Bluegrass United.  Southern placed 4 players in double figures in the win, led by Casen Nobbe with 16.  Jordan Dunaway added a double/double with 14 points and  10 rebounds, while Micah Whitaker added 13 points, and Tucker Nobbe scored 11.  The Eagles have 4 games in the coming week.  On Monday they host Somerset Christian School, before going on the road Tuesday to face Franklin County.  Thursday finds them back at home against South Oldham, before travelling to Mt. Vernon to play Rockcastle County on Friday.

9. Frankfort (19-7)

The Panthers split a pair of games last week.  On Tuesday they picked up a 60-52 road win against Berea, before dropping a crosstown rivalry game against Western Hills on Friday 65-49.  Zavian Knuckles scored 20 points for Frankfort in their win over Berea, while Kiyas White added 14.  Frankfort has a pair of games this week.  They are off until Friday when they host another rivalry game, this time against Franklin County.  Then on Saturday they will make the trip to Richmond to take on Model.  

10. Lafayette (10-13)

The Generals had only one game last week, as they hosted Shelby County in the Jock Sutherland Classic.  Lafayette was able to coast by the Rockets 82-58 to run their record to 7-3 since the calendar switched to 2025.  The Generals have 3 games on the schedule this week.  They host Anderson County on Monday, travel to LCA on Tuesday, and end the week on the road against North Laurel on Saturday. 

11. Lexington Christian Academy (11-12)

The Eagles picked up a pair of wins against 43^rd District foes in their only 2 games last week. On Tuesday LCA was able to get by Tates Creek on the road 62-47 behind 27 points from Saxton Howard.  Colt Cummins added 10 points and 12 rebounds in the win.   On Friday the Eagles returned home where they drubbed a struggling Dunbar team 81-54.  The Eagles have three games this week, as they look to push above .500 for the week.  It won’t be easy, however, as those games are at home against surging Lafayette on Tuesday, at Lexington Catholic on Friday, and then back home to take on Cooper on Saturday. 

12. Tates Creek (10-12)

The Commodores split a pair of games last week.  They started off the week in a big way, as they eclipsed the century mark in a 108-71 blowout of Western Hills.  Tom Haubenreich drained ten shots from 3 point range, and finished with 36 points in the win.  Brady Manning added 6 shots from behind the arc of his own to add 18 points, while Stephen Franklin joined them in double figures with 15.  As a team, the Commodores were on fire from deep, as they finished with 20 treys in 41 attempts.  They were unable to keep up that torrid pace from downtown the next night however, when they went 10-32 in a 62-47 home loss to LCA.  Franklin led the way against the Eagles with 18 points in the loss.  Tates Creek will step out of the 11^th Region in all three games this week.  On Monday, they will host Danville, from the 12^th Region.  Friday will find them on the road at Walton Verona from the 8^th Region.  They will return home on Saturday against another 8^th Region opponent in Grant County.

13. Franklin County (10-12)

The Flyers dropped both of their games last week to fall back below .500.  On Tuesday they suffered a 58-50 setback on the road against Spencer County.  Broderick Redden led Franklin County in scoring in the loss with 15.  Tyler Broyles added 13, and Kaevin Russell joined them in double figures with 10.  Thursday saw the Flyers matched up with the 11^th Region’s number one team, Great Crossing, and they were simply overmatched in a 97-50 loss.  Franklin County plays twice this week.  On Tuesday they host Madison Southern, and on Friday they play at Frankfort. 

14. Model (12-11)

Model went 2-0 in week 9 to move above .500 for the season.  On Tuesday they travelled to Robertson County and demolished the Black Devils 98-29.  Four players finished in double figures for the Patriots, led by Riley Mollette with 29 points.  Other double figure scorers included Harrison Parkhurst with 17, Marcello Zorzi with 15, and Travis Kidd with 12.  On Thursday the Patriots were able to avenge a previous loss to Powell County 62-52.  Parkhurst led the Patriots in scoring against Powell with 18 points.  Kidd added 15, and Mollette added 13.   Model has three games in the coming week.  On Tuesday they make the short trip to Berea to take on the Pirates, before returning home to face Owsley County on Thursday, and Frankfort on Saturday.

15. Berea (10-13)

The Pirates dropped both of their games last week.  On Tuesday they lost at home to Frankfort 60-52.  Finley Blevins led the team in scoring against the Panthers with 16 points, while Tommy Banderman added 14.   On Saturday the Pirates travelled to Somerset to face Southwestern, and suffered a 77-63 setback.  Jack Hemenway was the leading scorer against the Warriors with 22, while Blevins added 21.  The Pirates have 3 games this week.  They are at home on Tuesday and Friday against Model and Casey County, then travel to Clay County on Saturday to end the week.

16. Western Hills (6-16)

Western Hills went 1-2 last week, but they did break their 8 game losing streak with a 65-49 win over Frankfort in a crosstown rivalry game on Friday night.  Earlier in the week the Wolverines suffered a pair of home losses, 108-71 to Tates Creek, and 93-84 against Nicholas County.  Seniors Elijah Thompson and Javeon Campbell led Western Hills in scoring against Tates Creek, with 18 and 16 points respectively.  The same pair paced the team against Nicholas County.  This time it was Campbell with 25 and Thompson with 16.  The Wolverines will look to build off of their rivalry win over Frankfort with 3 contests this week.  On Tuesday they play on the road against Paul Laurence Dunbar, before returning home to host Shelby County and Bourbon County later in the week.

17. Scott County (5-18)

The Cardinals had a tough week last week, going 0-3 against some tough competition.  On Wednesday they lost 81-53 on the road at Lexington Catholic, Friday brought a 105-74 loss to Frederick Douglass, and Saturday saw the Cards blown out by Great Crossing 117-73.  If there was a bright spot for Scott County, it was the play of sophomore Colton Helton.   Helton scored 21 points against Catholic, and added 25 against Frederick Douglass.  The Cardinals have three games this week.  They are at home against Bryan Station and Louisville Holy Cross, and they travel to Providence, IN to take on Providence High. 

18. Paul Laurence Dunbar (3-21)

The Bulldogs broke their 10 game losing streak on Tuesday with a 62-55 win over Trinity Christian.  PLD was led in scoring by a pair of sophomores against Trinity Christian.  In the win, Asher Horn scored 22 points, while Dominic Faulkner added 13.   In their other games last week Dunbar dropped an 81-54 decision to LCA and suffered a 92-55 blowout to George Rogers Clark.   The Bulldogs have two games this week.  On Tuesday they host Western Hills, before going on the road to take on Madison Central.
