 How about we get this week started off right with some high school basketball action? We bring you two games tonight, one a girls 59th district match and the other a rematch of last year's 15th region championship as Johnson Central Gold Needles hosted Lawrence County. First up it was the Pikeville Lady Panthers and the Shelby Valley Ladycats, Kayla Newsom moving quickly for the Ladycats, taking the ball coast to coast and gets the easy lay in. Again Kayla Newsom on fire for Shelby Valley with the shot but this time she misses but Sadie Compton's there for the tip in. For the Panthers Grace Bartley gets inside and she shits it out to Kristen Cole who fights through some contact and gets the shot to finally fall. Valley's Cassidy Rowe gets the rebound for the Ladycats and she gets it up the floor quickly to Summer Rose who kicks it ahead to Kylie Tackett for two easy points. The Panthers back on the attack the Savannah Newton maker takes it herself, cuts to the defense and gets the lay up to fall. Leading scores all night tonight to Valley's Kayla Newsom, rocks up 24 points as Shelby Valley runs away with the lead. Final scores Shelby Valley 60, Pikeville 40. Now to the boys side of things like I said a rematch from last year's 15th region basketball championship and even the year before that it's Johnson Central and Lawrence County prior to the game Mason Blair made his way to center court to be recognized as Johnson Central's all-time leading scorer with 1895 points passing who was the current points holder Timbo Brannum. The accomplishment must have lit a fire tonight for Blair to get the game going from the right wing nothing but net and then same spot might be a sweet spot but once he gets his feet planted it's gold scoring the first eight points of the game as the Golden Eagles have a firm grasp on the lead. Lawrence County finally getting on the board Timmy Dalton assists down low to Trey Dodson two easy points but the lead would be too much for the Bulldogs to handle another name that stood out tonight for Johnson Central Cole Grace who now sits in the 1000 point club after this drive to the basket and as if it wasn't enough being the leading scorer in history Mason Blair surpassed another record tonight of most points in the game with 58 points. Lawrence County's Timmy Dalton who holds both of those records at Lawrence County put up some big numbers as well with 44 points. Mason Blair the Golden Eagles all-time leading scorer and the current holder for most points in the game will sign his letter of intent with the University of Pikeville tomorrow afternoon. Final score from Johnson County Central 97 Lawrence County 64.
