Kentucky high school basketball showing out on national stage

Saturday saw three of Kentucky’s biggest basketball programs face off against three different national powerhouses—and all of them held their own.

GRC (6-0) def. No. 22 Lake Highland Prep (FL) (6-1) 76-60

Kentucky’s No. 4 team in George Rogers Clark dominated the No. 22 team in the nation in Lake Highland Prep (FL) Saturday afternoon.

It was Jerone Morton’s 30 points that made the difference in their showcase at the King of the Bluegrass tournament. He was followed up by teammates Trent Edwards and Tanner Walton’s combined 29—add Morton’s nine rebounds to the mix and you have all the makings of a blowout with national consequences on your hands.
