Zach Burden and Alex Hudnall were WLBQ co-players of the game; they are awaiting a post-game interview with Smokin' Joe Morris.

Butler County continued its winning ways last week with a pair of wins over Whitesville Trinity and Frederick Fraize, respectively. The Bears notched another 12th District win on Friday over Trinity, 73-42. On Saturday, Butler County cruised to a 87-46 win over Frederick Fraize High School (Cloverport) in the Touchstone Energy All "A" Tournament at Hancock County High School.

Neither game was ever in doubt as the Bears took control early on and put the game out of reach.

Against Trinity, senior Elijah Flener led Butler County in scoring with 22 points, while Trevor Jenkins added 14.
