? ⚫️ | The Bobcats have become a consensus Top 25 team in the polls, but man, a running clock District win on the Black Bears' home floor is stunning.

We're lacking some context here. Until game stats are posted, we won't know if anyone DNP. Regardless, it's an impressive win.

The 38 point margin is the largest in the history of the series, in which Harlan Co. holds a commanding 32-12 lead.

A big test to see if Bell Co. has a legitimate shot at winning the 13th comes in a couple of weeks when defending champ North Laurel visits Pineville. The Bobcats are in the hunt for their first Region title since 2011.

? 52nd District games on Friday:

Bell Co. (16-3) at Middlesboro. 

Harlan Co. (12-7) vs. Harlan.

This one surprised me with the margin.

Circling back on this one. A miserable team shooting night by Harlan County, 29%

Leading scorers Trenton Cole (18 ppg) and Reggie Cottrell (16 ppg) scored 2 and 3 points respectively on a combined 1/11 from the field.

Off night, Bell Co. D, or a bit of both?

I'd say the tell story line was, no Noah or Huff. LOL
