Scott County had Loudon’s number Friday. The two teams met
in the AA-District 4 tournament at Loudon High School but there was no
advantage for the Redskins being on their home court. The Highlanders took
control early and dominated throughout, cruising to a 52-44 victory. It could have been either team's victory to claim as the two teams had split home wins in their regular season contests.
At the first quarter horn the score was a respectable 11-7
in favor of the visitors, but Scott County turned up the heat in the second. At
the break the margin had jumped to 10, with the lights on the scoreboard
reading 24-14, Highlanders. The Redskins narrowed the gap back to seven after
three, but never could get close enough to mount a serious charge.

Jaden Bailey and Jordan Belvin matched one another as leaders
on the score sheet with an even dozen. Andrew Hendrix dropped in eight points and
the trio of Bryston Hardy, Ty Hairston and Jake Blankenship each scored four. With
the loss, Loudon is out of the tournament.
