After a tough, physical loss to Lincoln County on Monday night, Garrard County gets right back at it on Tuesday with a trip to Mount Vernon to play Rockcastle County. How the Lions respond from the tough loss will be key in determining whether they can topple the Rockets or not. Garrard followed their last loss with a beat-down over Boyle on their home floor; hopefully they'll do the same at Rockcastle County on Tuesday evening.

 

Historical Preview:

*This marks the 22nd meeting between the schools

*Garrard County leads the all-time series 13-8

*This will be the 11th meeting in Mount Vernon, where Garrard leads 6-4

*Rockcastle has won three of the last four in the series

*Garrard won the last meeting in Mount Vernon, a 93-87 win in double-overtime in 1999

*Garrard County's 17 victories are the sixth most in school history

 

Additional Note:

I was told this evening that there is a chance that the January 27th postponed game with Casey County could be rescheduled for this Saturday night. I'll confirm that when I get the information finalized.

Good luck to Garrard the rest of the way... Those kids earned my respect tonight. They play hard and they are well coached. They were patient and they valued the basketball. I am very impressed.

Garrard Co. 56-53.

I really hope Garrard can finish this year out strong. I hope that loss to Lincoln doesn't effect anything other than that game.
