One night after Graves beats Murray they get beat by the Vikings. Great job by Coach Denson and his team.

McCracken got up 18 early and stayed double digits all night. 13 straight wins over Marshall County

Marshall cancelled with McCracken on Friday.

Carlisle Senior Garrett Hayden scores 70 points.

Mayfield won the Region in 1978 also and 1992. They have had basketball success considering they are a small school.

Mayfield has athletes, Graves usually has skilled basketball players. Mayfield had a real good group of athletes that were skilled basketball players and won the region in 2019.

Can't go against Brower in the first. His teams just seem to get better and better each year and plays a very good out of region schedule. 2nd region Newton. Madisonville will be the hard to beat in the 2nd.

This is the third coach for McCracken in 9 season,

1st Region McCracken 2nd Region Lyon 3rd Region Owensboro Catholic, Owensboro 4th Region Greenwood, Warren Central

yes 2nd District Championship @ Paducah Tilghman. 5th straight District Championship for the Mustangs.

District Finals. Murray beat Marshall.

Fulton Co with the big win.

McCracken had the lead going into halftime. Ballard shot the ball extremely well from behind the three point line. McCracken showed why they are the best team in region 1 right now. McCracken is so disciplined and share the ball.

News said that was 11 straight wins for the Mustangs over Paducah Tilghman.

By giving kids a place to play. Out of state JUCO's take kids from KY (but out of state tuition for walk-ons/partial scholarships are out of some kids reach financially) if we had legit JUCO's giving scholarship to KY kids would be awesome even if some where partial scholarships. Illinois is full of JUCO's.

This hurts basketball in KY.

Region 1. Chris Voght Graves Co. NKU/Cincinnati Patrick Hubert St. Marys Bethel University Zion Harmon Marshall Co. Western KY Jackson Sivills McCracken Co. Murray State James Boone Murray High. Samford

Madisonville would have had a legitimate shot to win one this year. Paducah Tilghman has struggle since McCracken consolidated. ( lost something like 10 straight games to McCracken) Just for conversation who would be the best bet to win a State Championship out of these teams?

Region 1 All Purchase team comes out tomorrow. I say Jackson Sivills will be named player of the year.

What about Mcknight? He is already signed can't see both point guards getting enough playing time.

Will he reclassify?

I think Murray may be the favorite starting the year. I would say then Tilghman but they have to get over the mental part of beating McCracken. It has been something like 10 straight games they have lost to McCracken. McCracken seems to always be the team to beat. 5 out 7 years Mccracken has been in the Championship game. Eric Chumbler the voice of the Mustangs tweeted out the numbers after they won the regional championship and it was crazy what McCracken has done over the last few years. Calloway lost a bunch to graduation. Graves struggled this year and lost most everything again. Fulton Co. showed some promise in the regional tournament this year. Hard to say about what Marshall will be like. Too many question marks on if Harmon comes back or not.

Might as well spark up talk about future basketball. With graduation hitting some teams hard where do you see these schools headed. 4 semi-final teams. McCracken- Can they continue to dominate after Sivills? The Mustangs only lose two seniors. Heard will be missed on the inside and his rebounding and Sivills may be one of the best to have played in this area in a long time. McCracken brings back lots of young players who saw big minutes and played in lots of big games. Marshall- Stokes, Powell, Flatt are gone. These guys have started for a long time. Harmon rumors are alway flying around so if he is gone the Marshalls have a ton to replace. Mayfield- The cardinals new coach will have to replace 8 seniors again. Paducah Tilghman- Laster carried a big load both scoring and rebounding.

McCracken beats Marshall for the third time this season after losing their best defender. Jones was the one guy who could somewhat match-up with Harmon. Hats off the the Mustangs and their coaching staff.

McCracken vs Marshall.. This should be a good championship game. This will be McCracken 5th regional championship game in the 7 years they have been a school.
