Who wins and why? Oldham goes into the 29th District tournament next Tuesday in Bedford (Trimble County HS) as the #1 seed; this game obviously has no bearing on that. No need to risk injuries, etc.

On the other hand, Oldham is coming off an upset 5 point loss to Anderson County in its last game, ending a 15 game winning streak. How important is it that the Colonels bounce back in solid fashion before the District Tourney?

BC comes in with a losing record, and some youth that is building for the future. A win over old rival Oldham County - especially with the Colonels ranked in the Top 15 - would be huge.
