From county floods, to under the bright lights of Rupp Arena
BREATHITT COUNTY, Ky. (FOX 56) — The Breathitt County community is not taking for granted a drive down the court or highway 15. 'I don't think there is a soul in Breathitt County right now. I think about the whole town came up and supported us,' senior guard Austin Sperry said. The community has faced several floods in recent years, with the most recent one being last month, but the Bobcats did not let this stop them from fulfilling an achievement. The team was in the hunt for a Kentucky High School Athletics Association (KHSAA) Boys' Sweet 16 State Championship. What's causing beef prices to 'beef up' in Kentucky?

Andy Beshear 'We had three major disasters in the last five years, so any opportunity we have to kind of look the other direction, to kind of take our minds off things that are going on, we're still rebuilding; we're still creating housing for our community; we're still looking for opportunities to go back to where we were,' Stephen Bowling, lifelong Breathitt County resident, said. This team has excelled during the floods that have impacted so much of Jackson and Breathitt County, even the high school, but after all they have been through, this game was just the bright spot many needed. Preston Turner made the trip to support his classmates and especially one who has proven he is built for the moment. 'Everybody's just get out here, just taken their mind off things, and just watching this ball. Austin Sperry show out here,' Turner said.

However, the school lost a heartbreaker to North Laurel, 54-53. In the midst of holding back tears, the boys said they are thankful the community has rallied behind them, even when people have issues to be worried about. 'Everyone from Breathitt really just supports us, and it's amazing how they come out. Like, people we don't know, like personally, just come up to us and congratulate us and talk to us about who we are,' senior forward Canaan Gross said.

North Laurel High School looking for first Sweet 16 win
LONDON, Ky. (FOX 56) — The North Laurel High School boys are back in the KHSAA Sweet 16 state tournament and will take on Breathitt County at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday at Rupp Arena. 'We were really good defensively in the region tournament, you know, and that's one thing that you have to be,' head coach Nate Valentine said. 'You got to be able to get stops, and then you have to be able to rebound the ball at the same time when you do get them to miss.' North Laurel High School looking for first Sweet 16 win Great Crossing looks to finish the job this weekend in state tournament Danville Christian preparing for its first Sweet 16 appearance The Jaguars are no strangers to playing at Rupp. The boys have made it to the Sweet 16 in three of the past four seasons, thanks in large part to the play of former Kentucky and current Houston Rockets guard Reed Sheppard. But despite the star power in London, North Laurel has yet to win a game on the biggest stage in the Bluegrass state. 'I think this team didn't have a lot of expectations on them. You know, early in the season, a lot of people had them seventh or eighth in our own region, you know, and then kind of flew under the radar,' Valentine said. 'We played a really tough schedule. And, you know, our guys just kept fighting and kept getting better. And, you know, you look up and all of a sudden you're in the region finals with a shot to win.' North Laurel survived overtime games in the 13th region tournament semifinals against Harlan County and the championship game against arch-rival South Laurel, which should give them an edge if they find themselves in similar situations late in games. 'Our last two games in the region both went into overtime, and to be able to just fight it out and win those games is, you know, really important going into this tournament,' senior guard Kole Jervis said. 'We'll probably have games just like that where it's really close, and so to be able to finish those games off will be really good.'
