CAMPBELLSVILLE — With a few minutes still left to play, the Campbellsville bench started clapping and jumping up and down in celebration. The moment the final buzzer sounded, the Campbellsville bench and student section spilled onto the court to celebrate.
Finally, to wrap up a stellar night for the Lady Eagles, Campbellsville Athletic Director Tim Davis presented the district championship trophy to the Lady Eagles after they defeated Marion County 51-41 Friday night, setting off one last celebration before the district champions cut down the nets.

Grand finale indeed.
On Senior Night Thursday, Marion County sent its senior out in the best way possible, crushing the Beth Haven Bearcats 83-31.
Next stop? Adair County in the district tournament. Win and you live. Lose and you’re done.
Senior Lez Means scored 17 points and hit 3-6 threes. Senior Luke Thomas had 10 points and tied a career-high with five steals and fellow senior Connor Higdon had four points and rebounds.

In 2005, the NBA had a problem on its hands.
A steady stream of high school players were jumping into the NBA, only to flame out and become a bust. This was bad for the game. Players with potential were spoiling their chance at stardom and the league was losing talented players who just weren’t ready for the pro game.

Forty years ago Kentucky had a dominating basketball season that ended with UK beating Duke in the national championship game behind  an unbelievable 41-point performance by Jack “Goose” Givens.
He was 18-for-27 from the field but also had eight rebounds — second best on the team — and two assists in the 94-88 win. But what many forget is that Rick Robey also had a fantastic game with 20 points on 8-for-11 shooting and 11 rebounds.
