Franklin Simpson distroys Hazard by about 18.

Good and bad new for Harlan County. JBS beats Cawood by 13. In a big shocker, Cumberland beats Tates Creek by 14. I think this is an indication of the potential of Cumberland and the importance of Sparks to Tates Creek.

Fern Creek has also beaten Elliot Co by 7.

Fern Creek has also beaten Elliot Co by 7.

 

That's surprising since Fern Creek had been getting roughed up a bit in summer league play against Shawnee, Manual, Ballard, and others.

Boone Co has beaten Pineville and will play the Knox Central/Scott County winner at 9PM.

Scott Co only beats Knox Central by 4. Did Scott Co play with all their players?

Take away their poor second quarter with sub-par shooting, and Boone outscored Scott Co. in the rest of the game. Nonetheless, a team has to be able to consistently put together 4 good quarters against good teams. Boone still fared well in this tournament for being young (4 sophs who play significant time), and they will continue get better. One of their 3-point shooters, a senior, was sick and unable to play today. He had been playing well in this tournament. Otherwise, it might have been a closer game. Boone could use one more good 6'4 post player.

Scott County will take on June Buchanan, with Lexington Christian Academy taking on Cumberland.

 

Scott County defeated Boone County 76-60

June Buchanan defeated Fern Creek 72-64

Lexington Christian defeated Middlesboro 75-39

Cumberland defeated Franklin Simpson 45-43

 

Class A can be proud

It looks like Scott Co and Lex Christian in the finals at 1:30. Both teams won the semi-finals by only 3. If Scott Co has all their players, I am surprised the their games have been this close.

Timmy Knipp was not playing due to an ankle injury.

I think LCA deserves a high five for making it to the final game against Scott County. They ran up against a wall playing their fifth game in less than 24 hours, however they faced a bigger obstacle playing a Scott County team that was hitting on all cylinders for that game. One thing is for sure they won as many games as any team did in the tournament, having to play in of the two early games.
