Cougars' hold on for district title
Plagued by unforced turnovers and being overwhelmed on their defensive board, the Logan County Cougars used their relentless defense and their refusal to fold on the offensive end to win the 13th District championship Friday at home. Coach Josh Frick’s team withstood eight ties, repeated runs by Franklin-Simpson, and plenty of chances to fold to win the title 56-51. Despite Franklin sometimes getting four shots or more on one trip to its goal, Logan didn’t trail on the scoreboard except for about 10 seconds of the final 28 minutes of the game. The Wildcats took that lead at 48-46 on one of those four-rebound trips on a goal by big sophomore Donovan Dudley. But Logan’s Jeramiah Washington immediately hit a 3-pointer, and Logan never trailed again. A three-point play by Davis Switzer, a goal by Jaxon Tichenor on a Maliq Ford assist and a free throw each by Silas Bernier and Tichenor sealed the win. Switzer scored 22, JB Mctire 10 and Tichenor 8 for the champs. Jakai Partinger scored 12 and Brody McAliister 10 for the Wildcats. The teams will play in region late next week.

Franklin girls dominate 13th District finals
Franklin-Simpson had sunk two 3-pointers before the Logan County Lady Cougars ever touched the basketball to start the 13th District Tournament championship game, thanks to an excessive blocking out foul while the first trey was going through the goal. It was that kind of game for the homestanding Lady Cougars, who lost 63-42. The Lady Cats led 17-6 after the first quarter. Coach Dedra Adler’s team cut the margin to 21-19 two-thirds of the way in the second quarter, and the Lady Cats’ lead was only 28-22 at the half. Franklin’s Tiffany Harrigan outscored Logan 7-2 to start the second half, and Logan was never in position to win again. F-S took the second half 35-20. Reese Wetton led the Lady Cougars in scoring with 17 points. Harrington led the champs with 22. Both teams advance to next week’s regional tournament at WKU.

Lady Cougars hold on to win district Clash
By hitting just enough free throws to win, the Logan County Lady Cougars (17-14) withstood an impressive comeback by the Russellville Lady Panthers to claw their way to a 53-48 victory in the 13th District Clash of the Lady Cats. Coach Dedra Adler’s team led 31-20 at halftime and seemed on the verge of a runaway when Lady Cougar freshman Anslee Buchanan scored 5 points in the first few seconds of the third quarter to put Logan up by 16. Then everything turned around: Coach Jermaine Savage’s Lady Panthers went on a 14-0 run and outscored the Lady Cougars 18-4 during the last seven minutes of the quarter. The RHS run continued and the visitors went up 47-45 on Mariyah Merriweather’s three-pointer with four minutes remaining. RHS didn’t score again until the last few seconds. Reece Wetton hit a shot to tie it at 47-47, and the Lady Cougars hit 6 of 8 free throws to seal the win. Logan’s Brenley Adler scored 17 of her 24 points in the first half. Wetton added 10, Buchanan 9 and Addison Holloway 7. For RHS (8-11) DeMyiah Allen scored 13, Ja’eda Poindexter 10, Merriweather 8 and Saniyah McCoy 6.

Panthers want to go 3-0 against Franklin
In tonight's semifinals of the 13th District Tournament, Coach Trey Tinsley’s Russellville Panthers will be shooting for a perfect sweep of three games against defending district champion Franklin-Simpson. RHS beat the Wildcats 61-51 at home Jan. 16 and 61-58 at Franklin on Feb. 6. Coach Dee Spencer’s Cats are in the rare position of the number three seed after having been swept by the Panthers and Logan County, which awaits tonight’s winner Friday. These two teams have met in the last two tournaments. RHS beat the favored Cats in the 2024 opening round, but lost to them last year. Senior Jerius Coleman and junior Jamarion Gardner played big roles both of those years and certainly do so this year. Labryan Nourse and JaCoveon Temple-Dickerson, who played in last year’s tournament, is are key players for the Panthers this year. The game will follow the Lady Panthers vs. the Lady Cougars in the 6 p.m. opener. WRUS will air both games.
