I'm stunned by that Marshall County result, even though the game was in Murray. I was at First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Benton Sunday morning, and part of my route there was on Joe Fulks Road, so I thought there was pretty much zero way that Marshall County wasn't going to complete the girls/boys regional double play.

ReplyDeleteSt. X wins the Seventh Region, beating Trinity 59 to 44. It is very rare for a team to win the Seventh Region with three blowouts, but that's what St. X did this year.
ReplyDeleteBARREN COUNTY DEFEATS WARREN CENTRAL 58 TO 44 IN THE FOURTH REGION QUARTERFINALS! THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2018 THAT BOTH FINALISTS IN REGION FOUR WILL NOT BE FROM DISTRICT 14.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry -- it's the first time since 2017, when Bowling Green beat Russellville in the Fourth Region final.
DeleteWow! That is huge. At the youth retreat in Marshall County this past weekend, I spent a lot of times with people from Barren County. I'm very happy for them.
DeleteIn another upset, Breathitt Co. stuns Hazard 61 to 59 to win the 14th Region. Hazard was 29-2 going into this game.
