Edmonson County must have been destined for wins last night for both the boys' and girls' basketball teams against the Trinity Raiders of Whitesville. Each team won with the exact same score, 73-56 for a couple of District 12 wins.

The Lady Cats got started a bit slow but were able to create a little more space as the game went on. 

Edmonson was led by Cariann Williams with 26 points and 11 rebounds. Shelby Sowders added 16 points and 5 rebounds, Addison Spainhoward had 12 points, Hayley Sanders had 10, Jocelyn Decker added 8, and Harper Davis had one point.

The Lady Cats improve to 13-6 on the season.

The boys took the court with hopes of spoiling yet another homecoming ceremony as they did against Butler County a couple weeks ago and had little trouble doing so. 

The game was another physical and sometimes testy match, with two technical fouls and an intentional foul called which resulted in the ejection of Trinity's guard Cale Boarman. Boarman was also assessed a technical foul at the end of the game earlier in the year at ECHS in the final seconds, blowing any chance for a Trinity comeback in Edmonson County's 76-71 win on January 8th.

The Wildcats fought through elbows and shoves to earn their 11th win of the season. They were led by Blayne Deweese's 20 points and 11 rebounds. Braden Wright had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Ty Wilson had 12 points, Jonah Massey added 10, Aiden Meredith had 9, while Owen Ruth and Daylen Cook added 3 points each.
