Breaking down the CBC Kenton Trail boys hoops race
The boys basketball race in the Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division is going to come down to the wire.
But from this point forward, every game is meaningful.
On Friday, Jan. 29, Tecumseh took over sole possession of first place with a 56-41 win at Stebbins. The Arrows are 9-2 and 8-4 in the league.
Tippecanoe (10-3, 7-3) and Shawnee (7-4, 7-3) are tied for second place, one game back of the Arrows. Both teams, however, lost to Kenton Trail Division rivals Bellefontaine (9-5, 7-4) and Kenton Ridge (9-4, 6-4), respectively, on Friday.
Kenton Ridge travels to Tippecanoe tonight, Saturday, Jan. 27.
“It doesn’t get any better,” said Cougars coach Kris Spriggs. “We’ve had a tough stretch in January. Hopefully we can start peaking down the stretch to make a run at the league title and tournament time.”
Here’s a look at each team’s remaining schedule:
Tecumseh has two crossover division games, Northwestern and Graham. They also face Bellefontaine, Kenton Ridge and two games with Shawnee inside the division.
Bellefontaine travels to both Graham and Tecumseh next week. They also face a crossover division game with Urbana, as well as games against Stebbins and Shawnee.
Kenton Ridge is at Tipp tonight, and also faces Stebbins, Tippecanoe and Tecumseh inside the Division. They also have two crossover division games with Indian Lake and Greenon.
Tippecanoe faces Kenton Ridge twice, and has to play Shawnee and Stebbins in the Kenton Trail. They also face Urbana and Indian Lake in crossover games.
Shawnee is at the halfway point having played just 11 games. They got off to a late start thanks to a long run in the Division II football playoffs. They have four straight road games (at Greenon, at Tippecanoe, at Butler, at Southeastern) and still face Tecumseh twice, Bellefontaine and Ben Logan in CBC games.
One thing is certain. If you want to win a league title, you better show up every night.
“In our division, you have to go out and play a complete game,” Spriggs said.
