🔵🦅 | A "Battle at the Villages" Consolation Bracket game slated to start at 1:00. Please share your predictions and updates here. Free audio livestream link below ~ colonel-athletic-network.mixlr.com I believe there's video streaming available as well, if someone could post a link. NFHS? Both teams have dropped in the most recent Massey Ratings: The Colonels' (7-4, KY #9) 49-54 loss to Florida State University HS is their second straight [the first back-to-back L's since December 2019 (h/t CWB)]. The Eagles (8-11, NC #51) are on a six game skid. They lost yesterday to Olympia (FL) 59-66. Link to their MaxPreps profile ~ maxpreps.com/Concord_Academy Cov Cath guard Athens McGillis became ill in the 3rd quarter of yesterday's game, returned to the bench, but did not reenter the game.

It was also the last time Cov Cath lost three out of four, as has just happened. They went on to win the 9th that season ...

😺 🐝 | Madisonville | Final at the "Tonya Wells Christmas Classic" via The Scoreboard. This surprised me, and I would have predicted a reversal in the score. But Coach Ashley Taylor's Lady Wildcats have been climbing the rankings in the last few weeks and they remain undefeated. Is F-S a legit 4th Region contender? We'll find out on 1/9 when they visit Bowling Green. Tomorrow's tourney matchups haven't been posted. The #21 Lady Wildcats are now 11-0; the #13 Yellowjackets 11-3.

🌪️ | Russellville | Final at Logan Co.'s "H & H Hoopfest" per The Scoreboard. The Blue Tornado (6-4) play Dawson Springs tomorrow at the Hoopfest. The Bulldogs (1-12) await results of another game for their matchup. • I asked in another thread last year about what has happened to former 5th Region power "John." One member answer was a redistricting of Hardin County schools. After a little digging, there seems to have been some roster churn over the last few years. But the team is 4-38 over the last season and a half. Hard to diagnose performance issues, as I haven't seen them play, and the team has submitted zero stats to the KHSAA. Anyone?

🐯 🐝 | Vanceburg | Final at Lewis Co.'s "Battle on the River" tourney via The Scoreboard. Both teams continue tourney play through Saturday. The Tigers are now 5-3, the Yellow Jackets 4-7.
