Tip off is imminent.

Crowd starting to fill in. Going to be packed house. IMG_5178.mov

St. X and Trinity meet again at Bellarmine University at 7:00 pm. Last game went into OT with St. X winning on a controversial bucket at buzzer that video showed shouldn't have counted so the Shamrocks will be looking for revenge and the Tigers want to show they can win with no controversy. The game sold out the morning tickets went on sale. I will be in attendance and will provide frequent updates since won't be video streamed. Game will be streamed on the schools radio networks. This should be another battle between one of the top offensive teams with St. X and Trinity maybe the best defensive team in the state. 🐅🐅🐅 vs. ☘️☘️☘️

WEB Dubois doesn't have any seniors and have played well. Beat Butler last night.

Max preps Top 25.

Prayers to Coach Szabo that he gets well soon! 🙏

Trinity's next game is against St. X this Friday at Bellarmine University.

Next game for St. X is against Trinity Friday at Bellarmine University.

The 7th Region schedule was light this past week due to weather cancelations. There was one great game which was played by Male and Great Crossing at Scott County, and Male went toe-to-toe with them losing 65-63 behind the sharp shooting of Cole Edelen who hit 5-11 three pointers and finished with 28 points. Another notable game was Eastern beating their rival Ballard 73-57 and snapping a 12-game losing streak to the Bruins that stretched back to 2016. A big game is coming this Friday when Saint Xavier and Trinity battle again at Bellarmine University. 1. Trinity (15-4) 2. Saint Xavier (16-2) 3. Manual (14-2) 4. Male (12-6) 5. Eastern (12-6) 6. Christian Academy-Louisville (10-7) 7. Ballard (5-10) 8. KY Country Day (9-4) 9. Seneca (7-6) 10. Central (3-8) 11. Highlands Latin (11-5) 12. Atherton (5-11) 13. Shawnee (10-6) 14. Waggener (5-8) 15. Collegiate (7-10) 16. Portland Christian (3-10) 17. Brown (4-11) 18. Francis Parker (4-8)

Cards outscored UNC and Kentucky by 1 in 2nd half. Both games were down big at halftime so most likely because those teams coasted in 2nd half since had big lead. Until Louisville improves defensively they aren't going to win many games.

In Maxpreps ratings, 7th Region has 3 teams in top 10 and 4 in top 15.

I guess to eliminate teams going for two to get to 36.

Rematch with Male next for the Tigers on Friday.

It was a great week for the 7th region as Saint Xavier defeated 6th Region Butler 83-76 to capture their first LIT Championship since 1965 and Guard Chance Dillingham was named tournament MVP and has proven he is one of the best guards in the 7th Region. Trinity lost to Saint Xavier in the semifinals 59-58 in OT on a controversial buzzer beater put back by St. X but video review showed the basket should have not counted, but Kentucky HS rules don't allow for video review so the basket counted. The game was an exciting back and forth game as neither team could put either away. Trinity's Julius Edmonds gave St. X trouble down low scoring 17 pts and getting 7 rebounds. Andrae Vasser also contributed 11 pts and 9 rebounds. St. X's Jermaine "Chief" Cameron led the Tigers with 14 pts and 6 rebounds. Connor Klein came off the bench for the Tigers and hit 4-6 threes and had 12 pts. This should set up a big rematch between St. X and Trinity on 1/26 at Bellarmine University in a packed house environment. Male lost to St. X 79-71 in the LIT. Manual lost to Butler 55-49 in the semifinals of the LIT. Eastern lost to Trinity 55-43 in the LIT. 1. Trinity (15-4) 2. Saint Xavier (15-2) 3. Manual (14-2) 4. Male (12-5) 5. Eastern (11-6) 6. Christian Academy - Louisville (10-6) 7. Ballard (5-9) 8. Kentucky Country Day (9-4) 9. Seneca (6-6) 10. Central (3-8) 11. Highlands Latin (10-5) 12. Atherton (5-11) 13. Shawnee (10-6) 14. Waggener (5-8) 15. Collegiate (6-9) 16. Portland Christian (3-9) 17. Brown (4-11) 18. Francis Parker (4-7)

He's not listed on their roster on KHSAA website.

1st time in my life they won LIT. 59 year losing streak broke.

Looks like bad call but was heck of game. They will play again on 1/26 and I would think would be good game. Trinity is definitely very good defensively. Julius Edmonds was good down low as he got several baskets in the paint.

Wow! What a game.
