13th Region Boys Basketball Week 9:

9th week in the 13th in the books, let's look at it. I’ll say who each team is playing this week, and cover any games if any team played any. 

Rankings:

1. North Laurel (16-4) - The Jags were off this past week. This week they play Jackson County on the road Tuesday, OBI on the road Wednesday, Red Bird also on the road Wednesday, South Laurel on the road Friday, and Wayne County at GRC on Saturday which should be a pretty good game between one of the 12th regions better teams.  

2. Bell County (16-3) - The Bobcats went 1-0 this past week with an absolute dominating win over district foe Harlan County by 38. An unreal beatdown. Freshman Braxton Ferguson went for the perfect game with 27, and went 5-5 from 2, 3-3 from 3, and 8-8 from the line. What a game for the young man. This week Bell Co plays Jelico at home on Tuesday, and then Corbin on the road Thursday.

4. Whitley County (16-5) - The Colonels went 1-0 on the week with a 59 point win over Williamsburg. A lot of kids got in the scoring column, but none had more than Bryson Mahan who led the way with 17. The Colonels have a huge week with Corbin at home on Tuesday, then Lee County, and Franklin County to wrap up the week.

With pitchers and catchers reporting in two weeks, I guess a split-squad doubleheader makes sense?!

Honestly with those two being lower district games too.. North has the talent to just split squad it if they wanted I’m sure.
