Four Thorobreds scored in double figures Tuesday night as Harrison County began to right the ship with an 83-66 victory over Frankfort’s Panthers in Frankfort.  
The Thorobreds started the game a little slow but then went on a 10-to-zero run and never surrendered the lead in the best shooting night that the Breds have had in two weeks.  
Coach Larry Kendall started his “new’ line up and again it worked well for the Thorobreds.  

This week for the first time since really early in the season, the University of Kentucky Wildcats are rated in the top 25 of college basketball.  
In the Associated Press poll, the Wildcats are seven points ahead of Tubby Smith’s Minnesota Golden Gophers for the 25th and last spot in the poll.  
The USA Today Coaches poll does not have the Wildcats in it but there is probably some bias among the coaches.  
I noticed that the coaches also had Indiana second to Duke instead of first like the Associated Press did in its poll.  

The Harrison County Fillies continued their late-season improvement as they defeated the Nicholas County Lady Jackets Wednesday evening, 39-28, in the first game of the girl/boy doubleheader on the Hilltop.  
On Saturday night the Lady Crusaders of St. Henry handed the Fillies a 56-51 defeat in a physical battle again in the Hilltop gym.

The drawing for the 38th District Tournament took place Monday in the cafeteria of Harrison County High School.  
Athletic Director Brad Allison was in charge of the proceedings which had an all too familiar theme.  
The meeting began with Pendleton County’s Athletic Director Keith Smith proposing a plan to seed and have revenue sharing.  
This plan was to allow Nicholas County and Robertson County to make more money on the tournament while Harrison County and Pendleton County would make significantly less.
