RHS wins 3rd straight district title
|
|
Russsellville hit seven straight free throws in the final 83 seconds of the 13th District finals Friday at Logan County High School on the way to a 55-48 win over Franklin-Simpson for their third straight championship. Senior Barrett Croslin,who had struggled through much of the game, got fouled on a key offensive rebound, missed his first free throw, and then hit five straight. Freshman Pedro Rivera followed with a pair of three throws with 10.8 to seal the win. Early in the game it appeared that Franklin’s super freshman, Tavin Lovan, would duplicate his role in the Wildcats’ one-point of LCHS four days early. He scored 40 in that one, and began the championship game with Franklin’s first eight points. But Coach Phil Todd’s defense began frustrating him with double team quickness, led by newcomer Tremon Morris and versatile athlete Coco Darden, who fouled out early. Lovan finished with 24 points, but no other Wildcat was in double figures. Croslin scored 14 while Rivera and Lee McMurry finished with 13 each. Christian Naylor, Croslin and McMurry were named all-district for the season, as were Franklin’s Demaris Payne and Lovan, Todd Central’s Jon Michael Brown & Tyler Harris, and four players from top-seeded Logan County—Taylor Blakemore, Clint Knight, Landon Stratton & Ben Wright. The draw for the regional tournament, which will be played at Barren County, will be held Saturday night.

Champion Lady Cougars beat F-S
|
|
Winless in their first eight games this season, the Logan County Lady Cougars made their 13th win in their last 19 starts one to remember Thursday by beating heavily favored Franklin-Simpson 47-38 for the 13thDistrict Tournament championship. Coach Finley Woodard got her team to believe they could win despite having lost to the Lady Cats by an average of 14.5 points in the regular season. Maegann Hardison led the Lady Cougars with 16 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals & 2 assists. Brooke Barnes came off the bench to record 8 each of rebounds and points, and she helped hold Lady Cat star Sydney Gooch to 12 points. Cierra Johnson, Madison Alvis & Taleia Mason made big contributions in the absence of the injured Kapreshia Powell and foul troubled seniors Laura Hunt & Katelynn Jones suffered. Megan Lindsey played strong throughout. Eighth grader Keely Morrow led Coach Josh Matthews’ Lady Cats with 16 points, but they got only nine points that weren’t by Morrow or Gooch. Canaysh Ervin, Megan Krantz & Tiara Gamble all fouled out early in the 4th quarter and Gooch joined them in the final 30 seconds, but Franklin missed enough free throws to have won the game. Both teams go to next week’s regional in Scottsville.

Not even the threat of a tornado could stop the Logan County Lady Cougars from winning at Greenwood Thursday. Greenwood’s Lauren Maupin had hit a bucket with 23 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the game at 59-59 to bring her total to 23 points. Logan coach Finley Woodard called time out to set up a play with 16.8 seconds. That’s when officials stopped play for about 10 minutes because of the stormy weather. When the Lady Cougars inbounded the ball, they looked for Maegann Hardison, who had hit six 3-pointers, but she found Megan Lindsey, who hit a 10-footer along the baseline to put Logan up with 10 seconds. Logan forced a turnover, and Lindsey hit a pair of free throws to seal the 63-59 win. Lindsey finished with 9 points with Logan getting 7 points each from Kapreshia Powell & Deja Thompson, who hit a pair of 3-pointers. Samantha Jackson scored 14 and Rose Mary Jackson 12 for Coach Todd Tolbert’s Lady Cougars.

L.J. Northern & Jack Hancock
|
|
Two men who have played key roles in Russellville/Logan County have died early this week. Jack Hancock worked at Hancock’s furniture and hardware store for over half a century. The business, which anchored the northwest corner of the downtown shopping area, was started by his parents, the late Pete and Katie Hancock. He and his wife Peggy later purchased the store and were at one time joined by their sons, Kenny and Gary, in its operation. He also was involved in many civic and economic development activities… L.J. Northern served as conservationist for the Logan County Soil Conservation Districts for decades. He led the construction of 23 watershed lakes in four counties, including Lake Malone and Lake Herndon. He was also an enthusiastic supporter of Boy Scouts activities and was one of the people most responsible for the creation of the Wildcat Hollow Boy Scout Camp in Logan County. A World War II veteran, he also led Explorer Post 352 on legendary canoe trips to Canada and New Orleans as well as an extended camping trip in Europe. Among his survivors are his wife Roberta, who is a retired Russellville school teacher, son Keith and daughter Nelda Marren.

No Clashes in district openers
|
|
The pairings are complete for the 13th District basketball tournaments at Logan County High School in a few days. Coach Phil Todd’s Russellville Panthers completed a three-game sweep of Todd Central Friday 88-77 to secure the number two seed. Those same two teams will meet again in the tournament Tuesday, Feb. 25. The loss dropped Todd into a third place tie with Franklin-Simpson, but the Rebels came out of a tie-breaking session Saturday with the three seed. That means number one Logan County will play F-S Monday, Feb. 24. They split wins on the season. Todd’s girls beat Russellville 52-32 at RHS Friday. That drops Coach Justin McClellan’s Lady Panthers into fourth place, and they must play powerful Franklin (20-3) in the opening game on Monday. Coach Finley Woodard’s Lady Cougars will meet Todd in the third place game on that Tuesday. The championship game for the girls will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27 and for the boys the following evening. Monday and Tuesday sessions begin at 6:30 p.m.
