Final from the 10th Region Championship. Certainly anti-climactic in comparison to these two's match ups in the past. Congrats to the Cardinals on returning to Rupp Arena.

Keep the updates coming in the second half if you can.

Stick a fork in em. Mason County is done. They can't hit anything, and keep turning the ball over. Not sure if Clark County has missed since the First Quarter.

GRC-46 Mason County-21 Bopper Stenzel is outscoring Mason County. He has 22.

Clark County pulling away. Bopper Stenzel came out on fire in the second half. GRC-32 Mason County-15

Halftime GRC-19 Mason County-12 Bopper Stenzel leads GRC with 11 points. Sloppy first half.

End Of the First Quarter Mason County- 8 GRC- 5 Clark County jacking up Threes early.

Some fun facts about the 10th Region from the 2001-2002 season to now: GRC and Mason County have met in 6 out of the 10 Regional Title games, and 4 out of the last 5. Regional Championships Mason County-6 GRC-2 Pendleton County-1 Region Title Game Appearances Mason County-8 GRC-6 Montgomery County-3 Pendleton County-2 Bourbon County-1 20-win Seasons Mason County-9 GRC- 9 Montgomery County-5 Bishop Brossart-4 Pendleton County-2 No Doubt that Mason County and GRC have been the class of the 10th Region for as long as I've been watching the 10th Region (I'm a young one ). Not as much star-power on either side as years past, but will be a good game nonetheless. GRC by 5.

What about the technical on Josh Harris for throwing up the "3 goggles"? I've seen players at all levels do that this year, and never seen someone get hit with a T. Interesting time for the first one.

Augusta and Deming always bring nice crowds as well, especially for the small size of their towns.

CovCath has the best student section easily. But as far as raw fan numbers, I'm going with Pendleton County. They had more fans AT Montgomery County Tuesday than Montgomery did, and it's an hour and a half drive from Falmouth to Mt. Sterling.

Called Woodford County my dark horse team all year. They are legit. My question- if Woodford were to beat Scott County, and win a game or two at Rupp, does Jay Johnson get consideration for Mr. Basketball, despite missing about half the season? He is the best player in the state IMO.

Good effort from Augusta. Led for most of the first half. Clark County was just too much.

It's been thrown around. We'll have to see. I'd say it's a possibility.

Pendleton scores a total of 84 points in two games against the Indians on the year.

Prewitt led Montgomery County with 27 points. Pendleton Scoring Jared Rering 9 pts Ethan Moore 7 pts Gabe Antrobus 7 pts Garrett Appleman 4 pts Mason Monroe 9 pts Bryan Woods 2 pts

Not the season most people expected out of Falmouth, but it is what it is. The kids never stopped working hard, even when times got tough. There were some outside influences (unhappy parents and things of that nature) that great teams simply don't have. I hated to see it. They return 4 of their top 7, including Mason Monroe next year.

Congrats to the Indians. They hit free throws down the stretch to extend the lead. It was between 6-10 points most of the game. Prewitt showed tonight why he is the best player in the Region. He finished with around 30. Waiting on stats now. Pendleton's fan turnout was outstanding. They outnumbered Montgomery County in both the student section and overall fan numbers Congrats to Pendleton County seniors Jared Rering, Gabe Antrobus, Bryan Woods, and Erik Singleton. They won 3 straight district titles, went to the Regional Semi-finals twice, and Regional finals once. Nothing to hang their heads about. Proud of all of them, and they'll all move on and do well in life. I believe Antrobus has an offer from Thomas More to continue his basketball career at the next level.

MoCo up 11. Senior All-Region Honorable Mention Jared Rering fouls out with under 2 minutes to play.

Rering commits his 4th foul with 4 minutes left.

Prewitt with five straight points to push the Montgomery lead to 10.

Jones guarded Monroe in their earlier matchup earlier this year. Jones' length gave him problems.

Prewitt has 14 for Montgomery. Rering has 8 for Pendleton. Monroe with 7, and Moore with 7.

I don't have Montgomery's stats, but Pendleton's scoring at the half is: Ethan Moore 1 pt Jared Rering 6 pts Gabe Antrobus 3 pts Garrett Appleman 4 pts Mason Monroe 3 pts Bryan Woods 2 pts

Prewitt has 9 for Montgomery. Rering has 6 for Pendleton. If they give him enough touches, they'll put themselves in a good position to move on.
