11th Region: Week 11

One thing has been a constant in the 11th Region so far this season:  Great Crossing has been ranked number one.  Frederick Douglass has been right behind them most of the season.  Both teams had yet to lose in 2025.  That changed for one of them last week.  Would it be enough to shake up the Big 3 at the top of the region?  Somehow we're down to the last week of regular season play before the districts.  Here's how we stand with most teams having only one or two games to go.  

1. Great Crossing (24-4)

The Warhawks went 2-0 last week, but they had to work for it.  On Wednesday they picked up a road win over George Rogers Clark, 55-43.  Malachi Moreno was the key in what was a defensive struggle.  The UK signee poured in 22 points and pulled down 20 rebounds to lead Great Crossing to the win over a good GRC team.  Valentine's Day brought a home game with South Laurel, who pushed the Warhawks to the limit before falling 61-58.  Vince Dawson paced the team in scoring against the Cardinals with 20 points, while LJ Holman added 10, and Dawson recorded another double/double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.  Great Crossing closes out the regular season with 2 games.  They travel to Walton Verona and host Madison Southern.  They will be looking to take an 18 game win streak into the postseason with a pair of wins. 

2. Frederick Douglass (21-3)

The Broncos saw their 16 game win streak come to an end, and suffered their first loss of 2025 in week 11, on the road at Henry Clay.  It's had to move them down, however, given that they have beaten Bryan Station, who is ranked right behind them, 3 times so far this season.  Henry Clay is a good basketball team, but I don't think most people saw their 83-72 upset of Freddy D coming.  In the loss DeMarcus Surratt led the Broncos with 22 points.  Juante Jenkins and Aveion Chenault joined him in double figures with 19 and 19 respectively.  The loss didn't seem to stick with them, however, as the Broncos bounced back to get by Sayre 85-64 in their next game.  Surratt again led the team in scoring with 24 points.  However, this time 4 other Broncos joined him in double figures, which has been much more typical of the team so far this season.  Douglass only has one game on the schedule this week.  They travel to Tates Creek on Friday. 

3. Bryan Station (21-5)

The Defenders went 2-0 in week 11.  Their first game was a 73-48 blowout of Scott County.  Taeshawn Adams paced Station against the Cardinals with 20 points.  Their second game of the week, however, was not a laugher.  They faced the same Henry Clay team that had just taken down Frederick Douglass.  For most of the game, it seemed like the Blue Devils would also push past the Defenders as they led by 16 points in the second half.  The Defenders chipped away at that lead, and managed to escape with a one point win, as Rashaad Faulkner's third 3 pointer of the night gave them the lead for good with only 5 seconds remaining in the game.  Faulkner's heroics were set up by Antowone Burton, who passed out of a triple team under the basket to find Faulkner on the wing for the winning basket.  Faulkner finished with 13 points in the win, while Taeshawn Adams added 14, and Amari Owens led the team with 17 points.  The Defenders have 2 games this week when they go on the road to Grant County, before closing the regular season with a home matchup with Woodford County. 

4. Henry Clay (18-6)

The Blue Devils split their 2 games against Bryan Station and Frederick Douglass, but probably had the most impressive week of any team in the region.  Jackson Stephan led a balanced attack in the upset win over the Broncos with 26 points and 14 rebounds.  He was joined in double figures by AJ Dixon with 18, Kayson Brown 16, and Hassan Bush with 12.  In the heartbreaking 55-54 loss to Bryan Station, the Devils were led by Kayson Brown and AJ Dixon with 14 points each, while Stephan added 13.  Barring issues with the weather, Henry Clay closes out the regular season with 4 games this week.  They host Sayre and Boyle County while travelling across town to take on Lafayette and Paul Laurence Dunbar.  

5. Lexington Catholic (18-9)

The Knights break into the top 5 for the first time this season after a 2-0 week. The big win game against Madison Central, who had been ranked just ahead of them last week.  The Knights went on the road and collected a double digit win over the Indians 53-41.  Central was playing without Luke Asher and just didn't have enough to get by Catholic, who has now won 11 out of 12.  Jacob Holland led the Knights in scoring with 16 points.  In their other game last week the Knights were able to get by LCA 49-40.  Max Meagher led the way with 16 points and 8 rebounds in the win.  The Knights close out the regular season with a pair of games against 12th region contenders Danville Christian Academy and Lincoln County.  DCA is at home, while Lincoln County is on the road.  

6. Madison Central (18-9)

The Indians were without Luke Asher, and his 16.4 points per game last week, and it showed as their offense struggled in a 1-2 week.  Jake Feldhaus was the only player to score in double figures for Central in their 53-41 loss to Lexington Catholic.  He was held well below his average however, with 13 points.  Feldhaus did record 13 rebounds in the game to post another double/double.  In the second game of the week, the Indians went on the road to Harrodsburg to take on 12th Region contender Mercer County.  The offense struggled again in a 49-43 loss.  Feldhaus again led the way with only 13 points, while Cam Steele added 10.  In the Indians final game of the week they were able to take out some frustration on hapless Paul Laurence Dunbar in a 70-44 romp.  Central closes out the regular season with a pair of tough games.  They host South Laurel and travel to Covington Catholic. 

7. Sayre (15-10)

The Spartans faced two of the state's top teams last week in St. Xavier and Frederick Douglass.  Against that type of competition, Sayre's 0-2 record was unsurprising.  St. Xavier was simply too much for the Knight in an 83-59 blowout.  Brock Coffman scored 18 points in the loss, while Jaxon Howard added 17 and Chase Parker 10.  The Spartans didn't fare much better against Frederick Douglass as suffered an 85-64 setback to the Broncos.  Coffman led the way with 19, while Howard added 16 points.  The Spartans, who have now lost 4 of their last 5, will look to get back on track with 3 games this week.  They travel to Henry Clay, host Christian Academy of Louisville, and close out on the road at Holmes. 

8. Madison Southern (14-13)

The Eagles went 2-1 in week 11.  They began their week with an 83-73 win over a much improved Somerset Christian School.  Casen Nobbe exploded for 42 points against the Cougars to lead Southern to the win.  The next game was also a shootout.  This time however, the Eagles came out on the short end of 101-85 track meet against South Oldham.  Micah Whitaker was the leading scorer in the loss with 24, while Nobbe added 19, and Derek Helton 10.  The Eagles, who might not have had their legs completely under them after the 2 high scoring affairs earlier in the week, struggled in a 56-53 road win at Rockcastle County.  The Eagles close out the regular season with a home game against Lexington Christian followed by a road game at Great Crossing.  

9. Frankfort (21-7)

The Panthers picked up a pair of 11th Region wins in a 2-0 week.  On Friday, Frankfort picked up a 57-51 win over crosstown rival Franklin County.  That was followed with a 63-55 win against Model.  No stats were posted in either win.  Frankfort closes out the regular season with a road trip to Wolfe County followed by a home contest against LCA.  

10. Tates Creek (12-13)

The Commodores had a 2-1 week in week 11.  They began the week with an 89-68 home win against Danville.  In the win against the Admirals Brady Manning led a balanced attack with 21 points.  They then dropped a 96-76 decision on the road at Walton Verona, before coming back home and defeating Grant County 70-58.  The Commodores finish up the year with 3 home games this week: Lafayette, Paul Laurence Dunbar and Frederick Douglass.  

11.  Lexington Christian (12-14)

LCA had a 1-2 week in week 11.  The week started off on a positive note when the Eagles picked up a 77-61 home win against Lafayette.  Saxton Howard poured in 28 points, and Andrew Maggard added 23 in the win.  Colt Cummins contributed a double/double in the crosstown victory with 19 points and 10 boards.  The offense really struggled the next night against Lexington Catholic in a 49-40 setback.  The Eagles then had to take on a powerful Cooper team.  They were not up to the task and were blown out 71-47.  LCA has 4 games on the schedule for week 12: Pendleton County, at Madison Southern, Frankfort and at Western Hills. 

12. Lafayette (11-15)

The Generals went 1-2 last week.  They were able to pick up a home win against Anderson County 68-57, but suffered road losses at Lexington Christian Academy 77-61, and North Laurel 86-33.  Not stats were posted for any of the 3 games.  Lafayette has one regular season game remaining.  They host Henry Clay on Friday. 

13. Model (14-12)

The Patriots had a 2-1 week last week.  They picked up a 55-46 region win over Berea.  Travis Kidd led the team in scoring in the victory with 20 points.  Riley Mollette added 12 and Marcello Zorzi joined them in double figures with 10.  Travis Kidd stayed hot as he poured in 25 points in their next game, a 60-36 dismantling of Owsley County.  The Patriots closed out the week with a 63-55 setback against Frankfort.  Model finishes up their regular season with 3 games this week: Barbourville at home, then on the road at Estill County and Garrard County. 

14. Franklin County (10-13)

The Flyers dropped their only game last week 57-51 to crosstown rival Frankfort.  The loss to the Panthers was the 4th in a row for Franklin County.  David Chong was the only player to finish in double figures for the Flyers with 16 points. The final week of the regular season finds the Flyers stepping out of region for a pair of games.  They travel to Rockcastle County and host Anderson County.  

15. Berea (11-15)

The Pirates had a 1-2 week in week 11.  They sandwiched losses to Model (55-46) and Cumberland County (70-46) around a 62-37 win over a struggling Casey County team.  Berea closes out their schedule with a pair of winnable games.  On Tuesday they travel to Williamstown before coming back home to take on Paul Laurence Dunbar.  

16. Western Hills (8-17)

The Wolverines went 2-1 last week.  They started out the week with an 88-77 win over Shelby County.  Preston Clouse scored 23 points, and Cameron Flynn added 22 in the win over the Rockets.  Western Hills was able to run their win streak to 3 games on Thursday with a 69-57 in over Paul Laurence Dunbar.  The streak came to an end the next night, however, when the Wolverines lost a 79-71 overtime game to Bourbon County.  Western Hills plays 3 games to finish out the regular season this week.  They host George Rogers Clark, go on the road to East Jessamine, and close out at home against LCA. 

17. Scott County (5-19)

The Cardinals were blown out in their only game last week, 73-48 by Bryan Station.  Scott County will try to snap their 7 game losing streak in week 12.  They have a winnable game on Monday when they host Dunbar.  They then close out the regular season on the road at George Rogers Clark. 

18. Paul Laurence Dunbar (3-23)

The Bulldogs lost both of their games last week.  They suffered a 69-57 home loss to Western Hills, then were blown out on the road at Madison Central.  Dunbar has 3 games remaining: Henry Clay, at Tates Creek, and at Berea.
