Royals to host Defending State Champions
The biggest high school game in the state will be played Friday Night at The Fieldhouse when the #1 Mason County Royals take on the Scott County Cardinals (Georgetown, Ky) in a battle of top five teams.
Scott County is 9-7 on the season, ranked 5th in the Litkenhous Ratings, and is #4 on Bluegrasspreps.com top twenty.
The Cardinals have played a tough schedule and many of their losses are to top rated out of state teams. They are 2-0 in their League.
Last Year, on their way to winning the State Title, Scott County was 30 -0 against in state teams and finished the year ranked #15 in the nation by USA Today.
This year Scott County has endured controversy over their fomer superstar guard Bud Mackey. The 2007 State Tournament MVP and Former Indiana Recruit was arrested in September, dismissed from the team and subsequently left the school.
Mackey is currently enrolled at Harmony Community School in Cincinnati, Oh. Harmony is 9-1 and ranked ninth in the nation according to HoopsUSA.com. Mackey will likely see his first action of the year this week.
The Cardinals have retooled and even without Mackey are loaded with talent and present a formidable matchup for the Royals. Scott County still boasts some potent players including Seniors Jordan Lee (6'7" Center) and Cameron Hundley (6'3" Forward) and highly touted Junior Richie Phares (6"7" Center/Forward).
Scott County defeated Henry Clay on Tuesday night 81-77 at Henry Clay High School.
