This Week’s Games: Etown, North Hardin, Thomas Nelson, at Green Co.Thoughts:
- First and foremost, prayers to the John Hardin family, as they deal with the loss of their coach. The Bulldogs have not had the kind of year that they had hoped to have, but obviously the death of a coach far outweighs wins and losses.
- Adair County hangs on to top spot in the region with a very gritty win against Taylor County on Friday night. That game had a great atmosphere and don’t be surprised to see those 2 teams play again at Taylor County for the 20th district championship.
- Central Hardin got a big win in the district against North Hardin. Brett Decker had 37 points in that game.
- North’s loss to Central was the only loss for any of the top 6 teams in the region this week and it came to the #6 team. Early on in the season, I thought there were about 8 or 9 teams that could compete for the regional title. I believe we are down to these 6 teams and one of them is guaranteed to not make the regional tournament as Etown, Central and North are all in the 17th district.
- Bethlehem had a nice week winning 3 games. They carry a 5-game winning streak into their district game with Bardstown on Tuesday night.
- If the season ended today here’s how the districts would seed:
17th District:
North Hardin (#1 seed clinched)
Central Hardin
Elizabethtown
John Hardin
Fort Knox
18th District:
Green Co
Hart Co

Some very difficult and sad news out of John Hardin this morning that goes way beyond wins and losses. I'll update a little later once more information is public, but the coaching staff, players, parents of players and administration could certainly use your prayers.

Games This Week: at Atherton, at Fort Knox, at North HardinThoughts:
-I was out of town last week, so I didn’t have a week 7 recap, so this week’s rankings are kind of a reset and where I see the teams in the region based on the entire season.
-Adair County has a big week as the #1 team. They are scheduled to host Evangel and then they travel to Taylor County. A win against Taylor on Friday night will lock up the #1 seed for the 20th district.
-It’s a big week in the 17th district with North Hardin playing 3 district games, Etown playing 2 games, Central Hardin with 1 game, Fort Knox plays 2 games and John Hardin plays 2 games. By the end of this week, we should have a pretty good idea what the 17th district tournament is going to look like.
-Caverna heads to the All A State Tournament this week. They’ll play Pikeville in their first game on Thursday. Admittedly, I don’t know much about the 15th Region, but based on RPI, Pikeville should be the likely winner.
-Taylor County, who has lost 7 of its last 8 games, has a chance to get back on the winning side. They host district rivals in Campbellsville and #1 Adair County this week.
-Bardstown was able to get in 2 games this week. They lost both but one in overtime and the other in double overtime. They should end up being the #2 seed in the 19th district tournament but don’t count them out when it comes to the district and region. Boo Brewer’s teams are never a team you want to play in late February or early March.
-Nelson County shows a record on KHSAA of 4-6. They do not have the games that they played in Illinois over Christmas break on there anymore. They went 1-3 in 4 games during that tournament. If anyone has any idea why these games aren’t showing up and not being counted, I’d love to know.
-John Hardin may have its best chance to get in the win column again this season this week. They travel to Atherton and Fort Knox. Fort Knox defeated John earlier in the season by 13 points, but it’s been a long layoff for Fort Knox. They’ve only played 1 game since the calendar turned to 2024. If John doesn’t get a win in either of those 2 games, I don’t think they’ll win another game the rest of the season.

The All A Classic gets going tonight with a quarterfinal game between Caverna and Bethlehem at Bethlehem. I think Caverna wins this one by about 20. Semifinals are Tuesday and Wednesday with Green County hosting. Green will play Campbellsville on Tuesday night and the winner of Caverna/Bethlehem plays Fort Knox on Wednesday. The finals will be on Friday night, which should feature Caverna and Green County. I think Green County wins it, but I wouldn't count Caverna out.
Who do you think goes to Corbin to represent the 5th Region?

This Week’s Games: at Meade Co.Thoughts:
-Adair County holds onto top spot despite losing to Larue Co in the 2A sectional finals.
-North Hardin moves up a spot, has a great week against 17th district opponents and picks up big wins over Elizabethtown and Central Hardin.
-Larue County probably had the best week of any team in the region, going 3-0 through the 2A sectionals and winning their section. They dominated Taylor County from the tip, defeated Washington County by 8 and then held off Adair County to win the sectional. Larue has now won 8 of their last 10 games.
-Hart County stay in the top 5 didn’t last long. A 5 ranking was probably to high for the Raiders but they had won the games they should’ve won. This week they dropped 2 games including a district game to Green Co.
-Speaking of Green County, they are a team on the rise. They played well in all of their games this week, going 2-1. They kick off All A action on Tuesday night and should be the favorite to win the All A in the 5th Region this year. I predict a Caverna/Green Co. final.
-Not much change in the bottom of the region this week and doesn’t look like much will change for several of those teams in the foreseeable future.
-As a region, they went 15-18 this week. Not a lot of games coming up this week, but games of note are: North Hardin at North Oldham, Washington County at Woodford County, Elizabethtown at Central Hardin, Hart County at Caverna, All A Finals which should be Caverna and Green County and then Larue vs Fleming County in the first round of the 2A state tournament.

-Overall, not a great post-Christmas break for teams in the 5th Region. Combined teams went 17-31
-Adair County moves into the top spot after Washington County drops 2 out of 3 in Lexington at the White, Maggard, Greer Holiday Classic. Washington County, after starting out 6-0 has now dropped 4 of their last 6 games.
-Bardstown had the best week of any team in the region, going 3-0 at the Campbellsville Holiday Classic. Their win over Barren County was a nice win for the Tigers.
-Taylor County falls out of the top 10, seemingly for the first time since I’ve been doing these rankings. I have no doubt that they will get it back together, but they have dropped 5 of their last 6. Granted those 6 games were at the King of the Bluegrass and the White, Maggard, Greer Holiday Classic, but I would venture to say that Coach Irvin was expecting more from his team. The road doesn’t get any easier anytime soon as they play Larue County this week in the 2A tournament. Should they win, they’ll get Washington County and the finals will pit the winner of that game and likely Adair County on January 6th. A difficult 3 game stretch for sure, but could really do wonders for them if they were able to win all 3.
-As mentioned above the 2A sectionals get going this week. The 5th Region is actually represented in 3 different sectionals. In Section 2, Hart County has already been eliminated. I believe that is the only sectional completed to date. Section 3 will see Bardstown face the winner of CAL/Desales and in the other semi-final game Nelson and John Hardin. Those games will be played on Jan. 4th with the finals on Jan. 6th at Nelson Co. In Section 4, Marion host Adair County and Larue host Taylor on Jan. 2nd. The winner of Marion/Adair will face Russell Co. in the semi-finals and Washington Co. awaits the winner of Larue/Taylor. Semifinals will be on Jan. 4th and finals on the 6th, both taking place at Russell County.
-Happy New Year!!

- The King of the Bluegrass didn’t go very well for the 2 5th Region Teams. Washington County went 1-2 with their only win coming against regional opponent Taylor County. Meanwhile Taylor County went 0-3
- With Washington County losing and Adair County surprisingly slipping to Glasgow, there are zero undefeated teams left in the region. Had Adair won that game against Glasgow, they would have been the #1 ranked team this week.
- Larue County wins its own tournament, the Magnolia Bank Holiday Classic. That tournament featured four 5th Region teams but by most standards was a pretty weak field. Regardless, it’s a good momentum builder for the Hawks as they head to the White, Greer & Maggard Holiday Classic at Lexington Catholic this week.
- Campbellsville wins 3 out of 4 games this week to get them in the win column. They are hosting the only games in the region this week with their post-Christmas tournament, The Campbellsville High School Holiday Classic. That tournament will feature, Campbellsville, Edmonson Co, Bardstown, Cumberland Co, Metcalfe Co, Barren Co, Casey Co, & East Jessamine.
- There was not a lot of movement in the rankings this week and I don’t expect much after this week either, but once the New Year gets here, teams will be playing a lot more region teams and district play will really start taking shape.
- Merry Christmas!

Games This Week: Magnolia Bank Holiday ClassicThoughts:
-Washington County remains undefeated and in the number 1 spot. We should get a chance to see how good Washington County actually is over the next few days when they play at The King of The Bluegrass.
-Adair County had a very impressive win this week against Elizabethtown. Connor Loy dropped 30 in that game. They had 2 more games this week that they seemingly slept walked through and managed to drop 92 and 81 points in those two games. If they can continue that kind of offensive output in games that they don’t play very well, they will be very dangerous.
-Hart County had the best week of any team in the 5th Region. They had two nice wins against Meade County and then a huge district win against Larue County. It was their first win against Larue County in 19 tries. Their last win against Larue was way back on Jan. 15, 2016.
-The 18th district is absolute chaos right now. Larue County was the heavy favorite to walk through the 18th this year and they sit at 0-2 in district play, dropping two straight to district rivals Caverna and Hart Co. Hart holds wins over Larue and Caverna. Green holds a win over Caverna. Caverna holds a win over Larue, and Larue is winless, but you can’t expect them to stay that way.
-John Hardin continues to struggle and honestly their schedule isn’t going to help them much. They are 0-8 and just looking ahead I don’t see a real winnable game on their schedule until January 20th when they host Iroquois.
-The region continues to show it has depth. The top 10 teams in the region should all be competitive against one another. Bardstown, at 11 shouldn’t be counted out. Past those teams, the region drops off quite a bit, but this is by far the deepest the region has been in some time.
-
North Hardin beat Ft. Knox last week 94-3. No starter for North played past halftime (maybe not much in 2nd quarter either) and I specifically heard North coach tell players to run through their offensive play x amount of times before they took a shot and it had to be a layup. Score looks awful, but they didn't run it up on them.

This one will be fun!! The Cochran/Evans matchup will be fun to watch. Whoever wins that battle, I think their team wins. Should be a good atmosphere for a Tuesday night in Columbia.
-
It depends on the Macy injury. She hasn't played in Bethlehem's last 2 games. I haven't mentioned it here just because everything I've heard has been purely rumor. If she's not injured very badily and can heal quickly and get back on the court, I don't see anyone touching Bethlehem. If the injury is serious, I still think Bethlehem is the favorite but I like Taylor, Hart and North Hardin's chances a lot better.

Games This Week: AT John Hardin, Burgin AT Highlands LatinThoughts:
-The top 5 teams are all still the same, but a little bit different. Washington County solidified their spot at the top this week with a win over Bowling Green on Saturday.
-Adair County is rolling to start the season. A big district win against Taylor County on Friday night gets their district season off to a good start. They’ll be tested early this week when they host Elizabethtown.
-Elizabethtown drops a spot after a rough loss to Lexington Catholic. Prior to that game last week though E-town had 2 really strong wins, one against Bowling Green and an overtime win against district rival Central Hardin.
-Central Hardin had a good week going 2-1 with that loss being the OT loss to E-town. They travel to Taylor County for a top 5 matchup.
-Taylor ended the week dropping 2 in a row. One to Adair and then a 22-point loss to Male.
-Larue Co. and North Hardin swapped spots after North pulled out a 1-point victory against Larue, at Larue. Larue has 2 district games this week that could give them a big edge early in the season.
-The 18th district right now seems to be pretty even, with all four teams in the top 10, holding spots 7-10. Hart picked up a big district win against Caverna. I still think Caverna is a slightly better team, but if Hart can keep producing wins, it will be hard to keep them from moving up. Green County dropped two very close games to top 10th region teams in Mason Co and Augusta. Don’t sleep on Green County.
-After the top 10, things really drop off for the 5th Region. Campbellsville is off to a terrible start, and it won’t get any better this week. Things don’t look much better for Thomas Nelson. John Hardin or Ft. Knox will get their first win of the season on Monday, when they play each other.

Should be a good day of basketball. I don't know a ton about the out of region teams. So I'd say my only lock prediction would be Evangel over Bardstown. The Washington County/Bowling Green game should give us an idea of how good WC really is.

Could it be that Lexington is the home of the KHSAA office and for administration they would be closer to home? Years ago potential host sites submitted a bid to host the games. I would assume that is still the case.
This right here is the reason it's at UK. It's also the same reason that just about every other state championship has moved to within 30 minutes of Lexington. KHSAA is not interested in traveling very far out of Lexington.

Hearing that they are going with an in-house hire. Although the job has drawn quite a bit of interest.

- The 5th Region is loaded with teams that can win the region this year. Any of the top 7 teams could be the #1 team at any point during the season, and I wouldn’t sleep on Green County or Caverna after watching them play this week.
- Washington County & Elizabethtown are as good as advertised.
- District play picks up this week with some key matchups in each district. 17th District- Central Hardin at Etown, 18th District- Caverna at Hart County, 19th District- Bethlehem at Washington County & Bardstown at Nelson County. 20th District- Taylor at Adair County, Campbellsville at Marion County
- I expect a lot of fluxations in the top 7 teams or so throughout the first few weeks as it's tough to tell with so much out of region play.
-The games on Saturday, Dec. 9th at Bardstown High School will be fantastic and should really let us know how a few of the region teams stack up against each other and some of the other top teams in the state.
-
Excellent official, even better guy! Congrats to 50 years Chap!!

I know college changed the charge rule so that there shouldn't be as many charges as in the past. Are they doing the same in High school?
There has been no change to the charge/blocking fouls in high school.

Thoughts
·Adair County continues to impress. 2 wins against top competition this week in Larue County and Woodford County and locking up the district’s top seed with a win over Campbellsville.
·North Hardin also continues to play well and have secured the 17th district #1 seed. They take a 5 game winning streak into their game against Taylor County on Tuesday night.
·The top 4 teams in the region (Adair, North Hardin, Etown & Washington County) all have 5-game winning streaks going into their games this week.
·Elizabethtown absolutely dominated Bardstown in the 2nd half of their game this past week. They capped off the week with an impressive win against Warren Central
·By the end of this week, district play will be wrapped up. The only district that is still undecided in terms of #1 seeds is the 18th district. If Larue wins against Green, Larue will be the #1 seed. Green can capture the #1 seed by winning out this week and Hart Co. could capture the #1 seed if they win out and Larue loses to Green. Expect the Green/Larue game to be very physical and emotional as last week’s game had some extracurricular activities after the game.
·Taylor County had a very good week, winning all 3 of their games. That gets them back to .500 on the season and back in the top 10 at the number 10 spot.
·Bardstown had maybe the worst week they’ve had all season, dropping all 3 of their games and in their first game they had several players ejected for coming off the bench during a little bit of a scrum. They have 2 winnable games this week that should get them back on the right track as they head toward the postseason.
·Lastly, continued thoughts and prayers to the John Hardin Bulldog family as they continue to deal with the untimely death of their coach, Austin Jones. The Bulldogs forfeited their first 2 games of the week but then played a very emotional game on Friday night. They played with great heart and intensity and were able to pick up the W. Congrats to them.
