Burgin 78 Mercer Co. 73

[Lion Mania]

If the KHSAA scoreboard is correct little Burgin beat cross county rival Mercer last night 78-73 in Mercer's gym. Burgin is an independent school with only about 300 kids in K-12 and Mercer County has 1,000 in High School alone. Congrads to the Lady Bulldogs on a big win. Bev Harris must be one of the best players in the 12th Region. Next up is a shot at home on Thursday against 20-1 Casey County.

 

TRIVIA Question: Has Burgin ever been to the Sweet Sixteen.

ANSWER: Yes in 1938 led by former UL and NBA St. Louis Hawks player 6'8" Jack Coleman they made the Sweet Sixteen his Junior year. Got upset his senior year.

You're mixing genres, right? The Burgin girls beat Mercer last night, right? The Burgin boys are who made the state tournament trip. I know you said it, but don't want anyone to be confused!

 

If the KHSAA is right, this is a big upset.

The score is right!

All-State candidate Bev Harris of Burgin High School scored 48 points I believe. She is definately an All-State player who gets very little exposure because of playing at a class a school. Coaches take notice... this girl can play!
