I have a source who has said Adkins has accepted the job. We will see if they are right but that's what I am hearing.

Adkins has been very good at 1A school Campbellsville winning 2 district championships in 3 seasons with a talent pool that pales in the comparison of what Mercer County would give. He has had to play a slower pace and win games in the 40's/50's with Campbellsville due to the talent but in college his teams played much faster.

Johnson is a Bardstown High School alumni and played 4 years at Brescia from 2014-2018. He has been an assistant coach for Bardstown the past few seasons and also helps coach with the Moss Elite AAU program.

Thomas is a 2004 graduate of Marion County and was previously the head coach at Lebanon Middle School and longtime assistant coach for the boys high school team.

Cooper takes over after 2 separate stints at his hometown school Garrard County

Word is Russell County has their coach just has not been officially announced yet.

One big downside to Russell County job now is the addition to Monroe County in that district last year making it a 5 team district. Now you have Cumberland Co. who is up and down, Metcalfe who has been very solid the last 4-5 years, Clinton is down from normal but always solid, and then now Monroe who joined the district last year and was runner up.

Heard longtime Marion assistant Matthew Thomas, and former UK player and high school head coach Dale Brown as names for this one.

Any word on candidates for this job? Been around a month since it became open.

Any news on this job? Been around 2 weeks since it was posted.

So the 12th region name is the one you are hearing too?

Have heard a couple possible candidates. Last years freshman coach Eric Bennett who also was the former middle school coach. Also possibly a current 12th region head coach.

Believe admin played a role more so in this one.

Jordan Cooper-Livers is out as coach after 4 seasons finishing with a 48-61 record.

Yes hes helping with one of the younger Griffin Elite programs 14 or 15U I believe

Agreed. Also believe the girls coach Blankenship could be a possible candidate as well.

Heard former longtime Clinton County coach Todd Messer as a possible name for this one

Larue holds off Central Hardin in a tight game the whole way. They will meet Washington County in Sunday's semifinal.

Washington County avenges their early season loss to Taylor County and advances to the semifinals for the second time in in three years. They will meet Larue County on Sunday afternoon.

Expect a really nice crowd for tomorrows first session especially the Adair and Etown game. Adair will need to keep the game in the 50's to win and they showed against Taylor in the district final they can do it. Should be a very good game.

Adair gets the Campbellsville monkey off their back after losing first round to them 3 years straight. Indians controlled this one from the start and played a very good defensive and efficient game despite being a team who averages 68 ppg.

When the 5th Region is played at the Roby Dome at Marion County it has some crazy atmospheres. Lighting is dim everywhere besides the court and just it being a dome makes for a unique experience

Big road win for the Indians tonight as they win on a steal and game winning layup by sophomore Connor Loy who led the way with 31 points.

Indians head into Christmas on a 3 game win streak with a win over a solid Monroe County team. Sophomore point guard Connor Loy led the way for the Indians recording a triple double with 21 points 10 rebounds and 10 assist.
