Not sure. I tried to find a box score and couldn't find it. I did pick Eastern to win this one in the contest.

Cross, Price, and Kimbro did not play per Courier-Journal updates.

No Zack Price, Kimbro, or Harry Cross.

Then this game doesn't tell us much, except that J-Town is probably still #1.

Agree.

No. 2 J-town handed its first loss of season

No. 2 Jeffersontown, missing three starters, suffered its first loss of the season to No. 3 Eastern 64-57 Friday night at Bellarmine University.

J-town Coach Jeff Morrow announced before the game that Zach Price (deep thigh bruise), Tony Kimbro Jr. (sprained knee) and Harry Cross (strained Achilles' tendon) would miss the Friday game, and also the Chargers' game against Cincinnati Roger Bacon at Lexington Catholic on Saturday.

Eastern, which lost to J-town 69-61 in the finals of the King of the Bluegrass the week before Christmas, won the rematch. Remy Abell led the Eagles (12-1) with 19 points and Lyonell Gaines had 17.

Desmond Dorsey had 24 points for J-town (13-1).

If I'm Coach Morrow, I'm feeling pretty good about the 7 point margin in a loss without 3 key players.

Same here.

Messed me up in the Louisville Regional contest, but this only reinforces my belief that Jtown is the better squad.

I picked Eastern to win, but also had Male to win as my 7 point game....:ohbrother:

Eastern now has four D1 commits........Remy Abell (Bradley), Lyonell Gaines (IUPUI), Kameron Woods (Butler) and Arman Marks (Jmaes Madison).
