The Last Tuesday

Yeah, this is the last week of the regular season. Sorta hard to believe, isn't it?

From last night...

--Christian County continued its dominance over all in Western Kentucky with a solid 73-58 win over Marshall County.

--Henry Clay picked off a nice win for the 11th region as the Blue Devils defeated the Boone County Rebels in a tight battle, 69-66.

--Franklin-Simpson has now lost six of eight, but the dagger came last night with a surprising loss at home to Monroe County 52-45. What many believed to be Warren Central's chief threat in the 4th region doesn't look to be a lock for the regional tournament these days.

And tonight's action...

--All eyes in the 4th region will be on Scottsville tonight, as the Patriots welcome region kingpin Warren Central for senior night. A little perspective: two years ago, ACS was trounced by Central at home, only to come within three points of defeating them at region two-and-a-half weeks later.

--Don't look now, but Bell County has the best record in the 13th region. The Bobcats head to Barbourville tonight for a stiff regional test.

--The 8th and 9th region collide tonight as Simon Kenton heads to Covington Catholic for a huge Northern Kentucky battle. Catholic is on an absolute roll, as the Colonels have won 13 of 14 (the lone loss: a five-pointer to Scott County).

--Two 7th region sleepers battle tonight on the east side, as Trinity invades Eastern. The Rocks are coming off a nice win over Jeffersontown.

--Two city schools from Western Kentucky take the court tonight in Hoptown, as the Tigers welcome Owensboro to town. A Hoptown win only emphasizes the absurd advantage the 2nd region has over the first and the third.

--Well Lafayette looked alive with a win over George Rogers Clark...the vitals will really be pumping with a win tonight over Mason County.

--Lincoln County has made waves in the 12th region here in the later parts of the season. Can the Patriots really define themselves legit with a road win at Dunbar?

--Arguably the two best teams in the 16th region will play each other tonight, as Elliott County looks to topple the Red Devils of Russell. A win by Russell makes them the predominant favorite for postseason play in the sixteenth.
