ReplyDeleteBoth 2015 finalists are now eliminated. Last year’s state runner-up, Allen County-Scottsville, was eliminated, 47-41, by Logan County on Sunday in the Fourth Region tournament, and then Highlands took out the reigning state champ, Covington Holy Cross, 52-44, in the Ninth Region yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOur girls from western Paducah, the McCracken County Lady Mustangs, eliminated Fulton County, 57-21, in the First Region first round Monday. Up next for McCracken County is the defending regional champion, Graves County, which pulled away from Marshall County in the second half and won, 44-33, last night. McCracken and Graves split their two meetings this regular season—with the Lady Mustangs winning by three and losing by five.
I’m always happy to see Hopkins County Central have success, and it did Monday—64-57 over Lyon County in the sSecond Region.
The Third Region will have a new champion, as Muhlenberg County went down, 78-44, against Owensboro Catholic.
I am excited about today’s 6 p.m. tilt between Madisonville-North Hopkins and Crittenden County in the Second Region tournament at Hopkinsville High. The head coach of the 22-4 Lady Maroons lives catty-corner to me, and our daughters sometimes play together!
The Lady Maroons won!
ReplyDeleteOther First and Second winners Tuesday night were Murray, Tilghman and Webster County.
Out in eastern Kentucky, Rowan County--basically playing at home, in Morehead--ripped Blazer, 61-42. Also, Rockcastle County went down, 68-47, to Mercer, the defending 12th Region champ. I root for the Rock in girls' hoops because their 2011 state championship was so much fun the HP.
The Louisville regions yesterday pared to finalists, and the survivors are all recent powers. Butler plays Mercy for the Sixth Region championship, and Male plays Manual for the Seventh--both Saturday at Valley.
ReplyDeleteNo girls' action tonight. Lots of regional semis Friday.
ReplyDeleteRats. Both McCracken County and Madisonville-North Hopkins were eliminated tonight.
