Niece ended with 33 to lead all scorers. Per digital scout.

Great game start to finish. Grant was down 2 with 14 seconds left with the ball and a chance to tie or win it. Defensive pressure by SK allowed Niece to get a steal and then a open lane to the basket on the other end. Looked like a "and 1" opportunity but the foul was called on the floor. Niece goes to the line with 8 seconds remaining to shoot two. That gym was likely never as loud as it was with him at the line. "The Bucket" Niece drained both to put the game out of reach for Grant. Awesome atmosphere and the reason we all love basketball in KY.

I believe the 32nd District is the 24th and 25th. Grant tonight and Simon/WV Tuesday night.

Davis only had 8 3s last night vs Holmes. He should be on the 4th team all region.

That holds no water at all. South and North each played one more in region game and they received two players. Not diminishing those two players but numbers of games played does not warrant consideration. The top teams that played more in region games played many against smaller schools that SK and others do not want to schedule. Should SK schedule Eminence, Owen, Henry, Carroll and others? Heck add one more player, you already have 16. I'm not sure what makes that number the total to be used.

Absolute robbery that Davis of Simon Kenton was overlooked. Senior with the best 3pt percentage in the state, not the region. Multiple players of other teams made list and their team is ranked lower. Someone please justify.

This was never really a close game. Woodford big guy got 2nd foul early and they could not handle the onslaught of 3s from SK.

Congrats to KN. Kid is a Bucket!

Congrats SK. Just like the warm up T-shirts’ say.

Wow! It has to be a first. Congrats to the Cougars.

Simon Kenton got 13 points out of Kelly Niece on very limited playing time. He sat the whole second half excluding the first 45 seconds. Plus he only played about 12 minutes in the first half. Trying to not over use that knee. You keep him in the entire game say at year end this result could be different. Keep in mind SK dropped a close game with Madisonville NH on Saturday and Niece never touched the floor. This team will be tested and ready by tourney time.

Simon Kenton defeated Bardstown today in the Lexington Catholic tournament. Collins defeated Beechwood. Thereby setting up a matchup of SK and Collins tomorrow at 330.

All wins are good wins. However, this was a sloppy game from start to finish.

Anybody able to send updates on this one? Is Prepspin going to carry the game? Should be a great game.

Not going to play back to back games. Possibly to rest it up.

26-15 WV half.

He has been out ill from school last two days.

Looks like the Camels are too much for the Pioneers.

Anybody there for some updates?

SK lost this game on the defensive end. They gave up way too many layups out of the half court press. SK played right into their hands.

How long has Simon Kenton in the region?

Simon Kenton gets the district victory. They are now set in as the number 1 seed in the district. They also host the districts this year.

Yes they did stop the game, but not until the next dead ball. Grant kept the action going after his shot.

Congrats Kelly (Duece). Onto 2000!

Final from Dixie. SK in control most the whole game. Niece with 36.
