The Greenwood Gators were too much for the Wildcats to handle on Friday, February 15, 2019 on the final regular season game of the year, also senior night for two seniors: Griffin Spainhoward and Nick Johnson. Edmonson County fell 73-48 to Greenwood.

The Wildcats struggled to get open shots against Greenwood and had trouble knocking them down once they did. The Gators were effective behind the arc, in transition, and in dribble-drives. 

Head Coach Mike McClintic returned to the team after illness this week; although he took more of an assistant's role on the bench behind Assistant Coach Joe Wells. He is hoping to be back in action on Tuesday when Edmonson County will host the District 12 Tournament, where they're scheduled to take on Butler County at 7:45pm in the first round.

Dalton Decker led the way for the Cats with 11 points. Chaz Wilson had 10, Nick Clemmons had 8, Mason Pierce had 7, Eli Booker had 5, seniors Griffin Spainhoward and Nick Johnson each had 3, and Gavin Rose had 2. 

Edmonson County is now 11-16 on the season. You can listen to the audio stream of the District 12 Tournament on WildcatsLive, only on EdmonsonVoice.com. Video is not available due to District 12 tournament rules.

The Edmonson County Lady Cats extended their winning streak to 10 with a 42-24 win over Greenwood at home Friday on senior night. 

Fittingly, Edmonson County was led by lone senior Chanley Logsdon with 12 points, all from three-pointers. A strong start by the Lady Cats and consistent defense against the Lady Gators were the keys in the win.

Edmonson County was 15/34 from the field for 44% shooting, while making 7 of 8 from the free throw line. Other offensive contributors for the Lady Cats were: Lauren Ballance with 10 points and 8 rebounds, Emma Vincent with 6 points and 6 rebounds, Madison Harrison and Mia Goad had 5 each, while Katie Lindsey and Macie McCombs added 2 apiece.

Edmonson County now puts the focus on hosting the District 12 Tournament, which begins Monday night at ECHS at 6pm against Butler County, where the Lady Cats are the number one seed. They have an opportunity to be the first repeating girls' district champs since the '94 and '95 seasons under Coach Kevin Jackson. A loss on Monday night would be a devastating end to a successful season. 

Edmonson County improves to 22-7 on the year.

Sports teams sometimes have nights where things just don't go according to the plan and on Tuesday night against McLean County, that was certainly one of those nights for the Wildcats as they fell 84-72 to the Cougars.

Head Coach Mike McClintic, who was suffering from the flu, was unable to attend the game, so the routine was already shifted for the Wildcats. Routines can have a major impact in sports, specifically in high school.

Edmonson County shot poorly, was out-rebounded, and struggled at times with turnovers in the hard fought contest on the road.

The first quarter saw two teams battling back-and-forth as the Cougars clung to a one-point lead as the clock wound down, but a 35 footer at the buzzer for McLean lit everyone up on their side as they took a 22-18 lead going into the second. While the Wildcat effort was there, as it is night after night, the momentum never seemed to shift back their way as McLean went on to win.

Dalton Decker led the Cats in scoring with 20 points on 5 three-pointers. Chaz Wilson finished with 18 despite only having two points at the half. 

Also scoring for the Cats: Nick Clemmons 10, Griffin Spainhoward 8, Eli Booker 7, Mason Pierce 6, and Trent Taylor 2. 

The Wildcats fall to 11-15 on the season. They have one regular season game remaining, which is scheduled for this Friday against Greenwood. It will also be senior night at ECHS. Both audio and video streams will be available on the Edmonson Voice beginning at 5:50pm for the girls match. Senior night festivities will also be live streamed.

​Coach Mac is hoping to be back with the team on Friday.

With only one more regular season game left, the Lady Cats have their eyes on the District 12 Tournament, which will be hosted at Edmonson County next week. Nothing helps the morale of a team more than a winning streak, and Edmonson County is officially right in the middle of one; which is currently at 9 with last night's win over McLean County on the road.

The Lady Cats started things off the right way by attacking McLean's offense. The Lady Cougars struggled to get open shots and Edmonson County was there to rebound. The Lady Cats also attacked in transition and thanks to a hot hand from Emma Rose Vincent (22 points-7 rebounds-3 blocks) who had 16 points in the first half on 8/9 shooting from the field, the Lady Cats created a deficit that McLean County couldn't overcome.

Edmonson County held McLean County to only 8 points at halftime (27-8) and even though the Lady Cougars outscored the Lady Cats in the second half (27-21) it wasn't enough to derail EC in their effort to earn their 21st win of the season.

Senior Chanley Logsdon had 12 points--all on three pointers, Lauren Ballance added 4 points and 10 rebounds, Madison Harrison had 4 points and 6 rebounds, Mia Goad had 3 points and 3 rebounds, and Katie Lindsey and Josi Morrison each had 2.

Edmonson County is scheduled to take on Greenwood this Friday night at home at 6pm in a G/B doubleheader, which will be the final regular game of the year. It will also be senior night at ECHS. You can listen to the audio broadcast and watch the video stream, including the senior night festivities, beginning at 5:50pm.

It was a tough night for the Wildcats as they faltered in their game plan and fell to the Ohio County Eagles on the road, 78-59.

In a game where Edmonson County needed to out-rebound the Eagles while keeping a hand in the face of three-point shooters, they did neither and as a result, were easily beaten by Ohio County.

The Wildcats gave OC all they could handle during the first quarter with a 14-12 lead; however, Ohio County began crashing the offensive boards and getting 2, 3, sometimes even more extra shots on one possession. 

The Eagles outscored the Wildcats 26-13 in the second quarter, took a 38-27 lead at the half, and they were never in danger of losing the lead again. 

Dalton Decker led the Wildcats with 16 points and 7 rebounds, Chaz Wilson notched 15 points and 10 rebounds (right at his season average), Griffin Spainhoward added 10 points, Nick Clemmons scored 8, and both Eli Booker and Isaiah Johnson scored 3 each. 

Edmonson County is now 11-14 on the season and is scheduled to take on McLean County on the road on Tuesday night. You can listen and watch both the girls and boys games here on the Edmonson Voice.
