Sayre?

Henry Clay, say it isn't so...

Besides that titanic upset, here's a bit more that we learned from Tuesday night...

--Allen County-Scottsville held off Russellville 73-62 in a matchup of 4th region powers. Russellville, however, is seeing their star power quickly fade. The Panthers have been unable in the past few years to make any sort of run at the region's elite, including ACS. As for the Patriots, an interesting matchup with John Hardin looms on Saturday.

--After being picked by many to win the 9th region, Holmes hasn't exactly lived up to expectations, and a road loss to a solid Covington Catholic last night 46-42 won't help their cause. Many believe the 9th region hasn't been this bad in quite some time, and Holmes's disappointing season (10-7, 1-4) may be the reason why.

--Like Holmes, Johnson Central has failed to live up to preseason expectations. Rival Paintsville dusted off the Golden Eagles last night by a score of 56-44. Johnson Central now stands at a woeful 5-10 with a marginal 3-4 regional record.

--Mason County has stolen all the headlines in the 10th region, but George Rogers Clark continues to prove themselves capable in the region as well, as the Cardinals defeated 16th region contender Rowan County 68-46.

--The second region proves its strength in Western Kentucky, as Henderson County narrowly beat Apollo 61-54.

--Good, solid win for South Laurel last night. The Cardinals beat Madison Central 68-63 in a matchup of state tournament contenders. The Cardinals shouldn't have much problem rolling through the 13th region, but the Indians, though regarded by many as a top ten state team, will have its work cut out for it to make the state tournament once more.

And for tonight, not much, but there is some substance...

Another chance for the Bruins to flex their muscle in the 7th region.

--Iroquois @ Male
The 6th region's Cinderella team has a chance to raise some eyebrows in Bulldog Country.
