1st round of the District Tournament
On Tuesday, Feb. 23rd we played Trinity High School in the first round of the 12th district tournament. We came away with a 67-55 win in Morgantown. The win set up a district championship game vs Edmonson Co. on Thursday, Feb. 25th at 7:00pm.
We came out very well offensively in the first half with Travis Johnston scoring 5 points in a row, but our defense was not very good and allowed a lot of easy points to Trinity. After our quick start offensively, Trinity switched to a zone defense and we couldn't make many 3's. We did manage to take a 17-14 lead at the end of the 1st quarter. The second quarter was pretty ugly and at the half we lead 25-21. Tyler Saltsman scored 7 points in the 1st half to lead us going to halftime. The big reason we were up at half was the offensive rebounding done by Aaron Deviney and Dustin Thomas. We had 12 offensive rebounds in the first half.
In the 3rd quarter we came out much better against the zone and made 4 3's in the period, led by sophomore guard Brady Clemons, who scored 10 points in the quarter. We led 47-36 going into the final quarter.
In the 4th quarter we traded baskets with Trinity and won by 12, 67-55.
For the game we shot a miserable 32% compared to Trinity's 58%. We forced 19 turnovers while only committing 8 ourselves. The big difference came at the foul line as we made 26-33 while Trinity only made 8-12 attempts.
Brady Clemons was chosen as the K105 Player of the Game. He scored all 15 of his points in the second half. Aaron Deviney led us with 10 rebounds and Travis Johnston led with 7 assists.

John Hardin, Taylor County and Bardstown
Over the last 2 weeks we have played 4 games. In those 4 games we have gone 2-2. We have beaten John Hardin High School, Bardstown High School and lost to Taylor County High School and Ohio County High School.
John Hardin game:
In a game that saw John Hardin play a box and 1 on Travis Johnston for the entire game it was a great win for us. In this game we had to have several players step up and make plays since Travis was being chased everywhere he went on the floor.
It took us a while to get going since we depend so heavily on Travis to get us into everything we do offensively. In the second quarter we got a huge lift when Trey Tinsley came off the bench to make 3 3's but we were still down by 10 at the half. In the second half Hunter Gary and Aaron Deviney carried us to the victory by scoring 18 and 14 points respectively. We won the game 68-64.
