🔵🔴 | 🏆 At historic David Evans Fieldhouse on the Holmes campus. Please join in on posting your updates here. 📻 Audio livestream link below ~ 🔗 colonel-athletic-network.mixlr.com ⛹️ CCH's Caden Miller, back from a hand injury, started the game. 🎉 Brady Hussey has joined the Colonels 1000 point club. 1:53 1st Quarter ~ Harney makes 2 FT Colonels lead 17-10.

Colonels ran a lot of plays for him, before Coach subbed him out. Maybe 0/5 within a few minutes. Uncharacteristic 1/9 for the game. I thought he was due, but they just wouldn't drop. Tonight ...

🏆DH ⚔️ | Final at Villa Hills per The Scoreboard. Colonels hold the Crusaders to a season scoring low. Since the 2008/09 realignment, one of these two have won the title. Dixie though has now won ten in a row. On to the 9th Region ~ Dixie (18-14, R9 9-6, D34 6-0) St. Henry (15-14, R9 8-7, D34 4-2)

🏆♣️ 😈 | Final at Apollo HS via The Scoreboard. Fourth ranked Lady Aces pick up their eleventh straight win on the way to a District three-peat. OC won by 37 three weeks ago. This one was closer. Lady Aces only Region/District loss was on the road to the Lady Devils in January. 🤔 Both teams advance to the 3rd Region tourney. O'boro Cath (KY #4, 27-4, R3 13-1, D9 7-1) Owensboro (KY #46, 18-11, R 3 9-4, D9 5-3)

Congrats St. Xavier and @Tigerpride94! Tigers crushed it. Professor Massey sends his regards. 😎

📝 127 down and 1 to go. Tonight's 31st District semifinal winner - Gallatin County vs. Trimble County will complete the Regional fields. Changes noted for all the Regions in the edited OP below. 🏆 17 District championship games played. 36 more to go tonight, and the remaining 11 on Friday. Link to the Riherds-KHSAA Scoreboard: 🔗 scoreboard/khsaa/kygbk23

He coached there. Originally from Mayfield. Played at Murray State.

R BC | Final at Hebron from The Scoreboard. Thought this one would be a toss-up, and Ryle's play has surpassed Boone down the stretch. What a great turnaround season for both teams. The Raiders (19-10) finished 10-18 last year, the Rebels (18-10) were 5-20. Especially enjoyed Boone putting up some dubs. This was a tough, tough loss. Ryle advances to the title game vs. Cooper Friday at Conner. Best of luck to the nine Rebel seniors who made almost all of the significant contributions on the court this season.

Top notch win Broncos, congrats! 42nd District = District of Death.

Great job on the mic; you got game man! Congrats Bluebirds on a hard fought win!

🔵🔴 | Final from Evans Fieldhouse via the Colonel Athletic Network livestream. Tuned in late for this one. Heard the Colonels were not sharp in the first half. Brady Hussey, the Colonels "Wah Wah" Jones Award winner, left early in Q4 with 997 career points.

Thank you. Six girls teams and nine boys teams. Yes, I could see that might make sense. "off the reservation" was poorly stated; "something different" is more appropriate. I'm absolutely in favor of local solutions to best meet the needs of Region members. The 14th went the more traditional District/Region route with the same number of teams. Girls: 53rd - 4 teams; 54th - 2 teams. Boys: 53rd - 5 teams; 54th - 4 teams.
