Scott County utilized a stifling defense to defeat Lexington Catholic 56-44 in a very physical game that featured trainers trying to patch up Lexington Catholic’s Peter Whitman and Luke Johnson and attempting to clean the blood off the floor.  Whitman left first with a cut above the eye and minutes later Johnson left with a busted lip.  Both were able to return to the game.  Scott County led 39-21 late in the third quarter but Lexington Catholic fought back and cut the lead to eight points in the final quarter.
