You'll need to access the app to see opponents and locations </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10am: Ballard vs Danville Christian Academy - I'll be seated in the auxiliary gym to watch DCA's [player_tooltip player_id='1513538' first='Lual' last='Ayiei'], [player_tooltip player_id='2323778' first='Titus' last='Boyd'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2357272' first='Geu' last='Ateny'] take on Ballard's [player_tooltip player_id='1864640' first='Sam' last='Frazier'], [player_tooltip player_id='2404178' first='Cash' last='Whitehead'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2055117' first='Blake' last='Russell']. Should be a good one to start the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>11am: LaRue County vs Campbell County - [player_tooltip player_id='1702596' first='Landon' last='Blakey'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1543598' first='Jagger' last='Mardis'] are a talented inside/out duo. [player_tooltip player_id='2694631' first='Garyn' last='Jackson'] leads a Campbell team that is good every single year. Should be a good game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>12pm: Boyd County vs WEB DuBois - This could be a barn burner. [player_tooltip player_id='1751495' first='Ja'Rye' last='Brown'] against [player_tooltip player_id='1359133' first='Jacob' last='Spurlock'] should be a great guard matchup and [player_tooltip player_id='1751496' first='Ferlandas' last='Wright'] will be a very hard player to guard for Boyd. Expect this one to be very high scoring!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>4pm: Woodford County vs Fern Creek - Size versus speed in this one. [player_tooltip player_id='1582396' first='Jaunte' last='Jenkins'], [player_tooltip player_id='2046738' first='Omari' last='Jointer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2046737' first='Thurman' last='Wade'] are a tough trio for Woodford while Fern Creek will county with 7'3 Bol Kuany, [player_tooltip player_id='2685074' first='Noah' last='Glover'] and Jordan Bender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5pm: West Clermont (OH) vs DuPont Manual - Coach Brandon Grammer was in Kentucky for several years and makes his return to take on a Manual team that will be rebuilding after losing 5 Seniors. [player_tooltip player_id='2115231' first='Justice' last='Decker'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1783054' first='Malachi' last='Coleman'] are two top players in the 6th while Rayshawn Hubbard is a force for West Clermont.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6pm: Daviess County vs Greenwood - [player_tooltip player_id='1359130' first='Jonathan' last='Moss'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1543352' first='DeAaron' last='Watkins'] both hold multiple D1 offers. Greenwood is a sleeper in the 4th with [player_tooltip player_id='1587720' first='Nick' last='Simpson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1824384' first='Garrett' last='Hatcher'] leading the way. Seeing a 3rd region team play a 4th region team in an 8th region gym will be a unique experience.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
