Last Night's Boys' Basketball Scores

Here are the scores from Friday Night in Western Kentucky. After seeing Fulton City and Hoptown get crushed in so many football games last fall, it's nice to see their basketball teams do well. Meanwhile, I would love to know what has happened to the dozens of Second District trophies that Tilghman has collected down the years:

1st District Championship (at Hickman Co.):

Fulton City 68, Carlisle Co. 41

2d District Championship (at Paducah Tilghman):

Paducah Tilghman 73, Lone Oak 70

4th District Championship (at Murray):

Marshall Co. 57, Calloway Co. 52

8th District Championship (at Christian Co.):

Hopkinsville 75, Christian Co. 58

Once again, the folks in the 54th District have not posted their score in a timely manner, so I don't know what happened in the District final between Buckhorn and Hazard. And there are only District Title games being played, so no one else was eliminated. Still, here were some results of interest:

In the 13th District, pesky Russellville beat Logan Co. 83-79

In the 15th District, Barren Co. (20-12) upset Glasgow (22-7) in overtime, 70-67.

In the 24th District, number 5 Bullitt East crushed number 8 Jeffersontown, 68-47.

In the 28th District, number 18 Eastern stunned number 4 Ballard, 79-76. This means that Ballard and Trinity -- widely regarded as the two best teams in the Seventh Region -- could meet as soon as the Regional Quarter-Finals.

In the 29th District, number 16 Oldham Co. beat number 20 South Oldham, 58-43.

In the 34th District, Lloyd Memorial (15-15) shocked number 13 Dixie Heights, 59-57. Given that the only other ranked team in the Ninth Region -- Covington Holy Cross -- has already been eliminated, that region appears to be wide open.

And in the 43d District, Lexington Catholic (24-7) survived a real scare from Lafayette (13-18), finally winning 40-37.
