Seth Hunt hit four threes to go with his game-high 16 points as the Hornets fell to Breckinridge County 64-52 in the 11th District Tournament.

Muhlenberg County 71, McLean County 64
Layden Bozarth exploded for 36 points, and Jaelin Groves added 10 points as the Cougars dropped a heartbreaker to Muhlenberg County 71-64 in the 10th District Tournament.
“We gave a valiant effort, but came up short,’ McLean County Head Coach Darren Lynam said. “We had a bad end to the first half and start of the third quarter, which did us in. Our four seniors have had a fine career. They have won 49 games over the last three seasons and were the driving force in us making the 3rd Region Tournament last year. It just didn’t work out this year.”

“This was a tremendous team effort. I can’t say enough about how everyone stepped up tonight,” Trinity (Whitesville) Head Coach Nathan West said. “Mason Smith hit some huge threes in the third quarter to blow the game open, and Cale Boarman, who had been struggling from the line this season, knocked down big free throw after free throw. …I’m excited for the players, coaches, students, and the city of Whitesville.”
