Number 1 Cougars lose in district again
For the 18th time in the last 20 years, the Logan County Cougars are one and done in the 13th District Tournament. The number one seed in the tournament, the Cougars fell to bottom seed Franklin-Simpson 65-61 at LCHS Monday. The Wildcats have won only seven games this season, but three of their wins have been over the Cougars. In this game, like the other two, Logan missed a 3-pointer in the final seconds that would have tied the score.. Franklin led by 8 late in the third quarter, but the Cougars came back to within a point at 62-61 with a minute remaining on a four-point play by Kelby Epley on an assist by Third Bell. But Franklin continued to dominate the inside and the Cougars let a couple of steals get away before the missed trey. Sam Blackwell & Colin Thompson, who average 5 points per game between them, combined for 28 in this one. Dee Ragland added 11 and Dayveon Harris 10. Mykal Hampton & Epley each scored 12 for Logan and Bell 11. Logan still has not beaten Franklin in these two decades of tournament futility.

The first of Rayno's 10 fourth quarter points built his career total to 1,000 points. After hitting 7 of 8 free throws in the game, he now as 1,009 points. Coach Lonnie Mason's Cougars were all good at the line, hitting 13 of 16 in the fourth quarter and 23 of 30 for the game.

The Cougars (14-13) have won three straight games and seven of their last ten.

Down 19-0, Panthers storm back but Todd holds on
Todd Central roared out to a 19-0 lead on Senior Night at Russellville Friday, but the Panthers came back to cut the lead to five points at the end of the third quarter, led by juniors Jacob Naylor & Elijah Kemp late in that period. Todd had too much scoring from Nolan Barrow, too dominant an inside game from John Calvary and excellent overall floor play from Clayte Weathers in the end to defeat the Panthers 72-65. Barrow finished with 32 points while Calvary had 10 and Weathers and Tashawn Foster 9 each for the Rebels. Naylor scored 22 points and broke the 1000-point mark for his career in the process. Freshman Anthony Woodard added 19, D.J. Quarles 11 (hitting three treys), and Kemp 10. The same two teams will meet in the first round of the district tournament, probably Feb. 20.

Young Lady Panthers serve notice to district leaders
Following Todd Central's 48-35 win over the Russellville Lady Panthers Friday, two truths emerged. 1) The number one seed in the upcoming district tournament is undecided. 2) Whoever becomes the number two seed--Logan County or Todd Central--is going to have its hands full. Earlier this season, the Lady Rebels led RHS by 30 going into the fourth quarter. Friday, RHS led 28-26 after three quarters with seventh grader Amiyah Collier scoring seven points in the quarter. Having won their last two games, Coach Shannon Booth's Lady Panthers are much improved. Youngsters helped the cause in the persons of seventh graders Brinley Mason and Collier, eighth grader Anastasia Dowlen, and freshmen Chloe Whitescarver & Macaria Hines. The 3-point shooting of Lady Rebels Alexis O'Daniel & Amy Brumfeld proved to be too much for Russellville to overcome.
