Stephen A. Turner and Brandon Ward have the call of McLean County vs Breckinridge County in the Owensboro Health boys 3rd region basketball tournament at the Owensboro Sportscenter courtesy of Aleris Rolled Product.
McLean County shocked the region as the Cougars continued their roll of eliminating regional championship favorites. In the first round of the 10th district tournament, McLean County eliminated Ohio County, who was considered one of the teams that could win the regional crown. Not many gave the Cougars a chance against Breck County who had defeated the Cougars by 7 back on February 1st. Seniors Trey Inglehardt led the Cougars with 13, and Logan Patterson added 12 along with several rebounds. Senior Zach Mimms only scored 4 points but his defense on Breck County star Kaeveon Mitchell was crucial in the outcome. McLean advances to Saturday night’s semifinals.
Breckinridge County saw their season end with a solid 20-10 record. Kaeveon Mitchell, who is the 102.7 The Game/Homers 3rd region player of the year poured in 21 points in his final basketball game as a Breck County Tiger. Senior 6-7 big man Justin Shrewsberry scored 14. Brock Lucas (5) and Trey Irwin (5) join their senior teammates in playing in their final basketball game.
McLean County will move on to take on Owensboro Catholic in the 3rd region semifinals this Saturday night at 6pm on 102.7 The Game.
