It is 72.3 miles from Bowling Green H.S., in the Fourth Region, to Adair County H.S., in the Fifth Region. The fastest route takes the Cumberland Parkway for most of the way.
With 9 seconds left, Deuce Bailey drives through the Adair County defense and banks in a layup to win it for Bowling Green. The Purples prevail over the Indians, 52 to 51.
J-Town's colors are claret and light blue. That's a common color scheme in England (see Aston Villa and West Ham United), but not in the United States.
The J-Town Chargers are in white uniforms with light blue numerals and claret and light blue trim. The Tigers are in gold uniforms with green numerals and trim.
In the last 10:07 of game time, J-Town outscored St. X 30-15. As a result, the Chargers turned a 10-point deficit into a five-point win. Jeffersontown knocks off the Number One Team in the State by the score of 64 to 59. This is one of the biggest upsets in the history of the State Tournament.
The next game starts at 5 PM Central. It will feature South Oldham H.S., from the Eighth Region, and Danville Christian Academy, from the Twelfth Region. It is 75.9 miles from Danville Christian to SOHS. The fastest way is to take U.S. 127 until you hit I-64.
The South Oldham Dragons are the home team -- they are wearing white uniforms with green numerals. The Danville Christian Warriors are wearing dark blue uniforms with white numerals and gold trim.
Last game of the night: The Ashland Blazer Tomcats from the Sixteenth Region against the Calloway County Lakers from the First Region. Ashland is wearing white uniforms with maroon numerals and trim. Calloway County is wearing red uniforms with sky blue numerals and trim.
It is 373 miles from Calloway Co. H.S. to Ashland Blazer H.S. To put that figure in perspective, it is only 325 miles from Ashland Blazer H.S. to Windsor, Ontario.
In the last four minutes of this game, Zander Carter, a 6' 6" guard for Ashland, showed Calloway why he is going to play at Liberty University next year. With 55 seconds left in the game, Carter has 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists, and Ashland leads 81-64. If he keeps playing like this, Ashland will be tough to beat.
Next up we have Lawrence Co. (from the Fifteenth Region) and Montgomery Co. (from the Tenth Region). It is 107 miles from Lawrence Co. H.S. to Montgomery Co. H.S. Basically, you have to go northeast until you hit I-64 just outside of Ashland, and then you take that all the way to Mount Sterling.
It's Opening Day for the Washington Nationals. Here is the 2025 Opening Day Lineup for Natstown, with 2024 stats:

According to VegasInsider, the over-under on wins for the Nationals is set at 72.5. That would be an improvement over the last two years, in both of which they finished 71-91.
Since coming back to Washington in 2005, the Nats have an all-time regular season record of 1,510 wins and 1,626 losses, for a winning percentage of 0.482. In all seasons where Washington has fielded a Major League Team going back to 1901, Washington has a record of 6,473 wins and 7,522 losses, for a winning percentage of 0.463.
If all three Washington franchises were treated as a single franchise, they would be number 28 in all-time MLB winning percentage, just ahead of Colorado (0.462) and Miami (0.459). Here's the rest of the NL East:
