Oldham County 60 Trinity 59

Per radio announcers after the game, St X had 15 made FG's to Trinity's 12 made FG's but Trinity was 32/37 from FT line. Jacob King did play some in his 1st game of the season. On his way back

6'2 PG/SG

He had 6 DII offers. Thought he was leaning toward Ky Wesleyan, but he really liked everything about Rollins.

It lists Carson Williams as the first 8th region player to win Mr. Basketball in over 40 years, but they actually had back to back winners in 1999 and 2000.

You're right, Scott County was in the 8th region then and Rick Jones was Mr Basketball in 1999 and Scott Hundley in 2000. Hard to keep up with years and changes.

"Lots of complaints about lack of Louisville representation on All-State teams. Folks, it's all about who turns in ballots."

The CJ should post the names of coaches/schools that did not submit ballots. Four regions that did not even have 1 honorable mention?

Per the Courier Journal today the Kentucky All-Stars aren’t scheduled to release their complete rosters for their boys and girls basketball teams until next week, but a few players already have announced their selections via social media.

Per Jason Frakes today partial list announced of players-

No dog here either....loved the back and forth between the students. But you have to admit there was some classless X chants as well. I was sitting with an X dad who told his son to tell them to stop the Newman chants. The dad was embarrassed by a few of the X and I am certain the same could have been said for Trinity. No need to say one was the 'leader' because they were both being kids at a big game in a major rivalry.

I think what upset people was that during handshakes by teams after the game was over as McKim neared Trinity student stands while still shaking hands, Trinity students started the chant again, "You let your whole team down" some one from Trinity finally made them quit.

Per official stats, McKim went 10/24 FG for 41.7% and 9/12 FT. The rest of the team went 4/19 FG for 21%.

McKim played the full 36 min, never out of the game.

Championship game between Trinity and St X Tuesday 7:00 pm at Valley HS

Many thanks for the story and link of a great player from Ky

I've had lots of weeks with two Wednesday in it.

12th Region refs officiating, didn't I see a few weeks ago on a thread that these refs hardly allow hand checking?

Exact same drawing as last year. Any one of these teams capable of winning it all.

Caleb Williams hits 2 more FTs for Eastern, stretching the lead over Ballard to 56-53. 1:51 left
