Tiger Baskeball makes its first appearance in the Top 10 in the state in the Lexington Herald’s poll this week after demolishing Male last Friday. That win clinched the top seed in the 26th District for the 5th straight year and also made the state’s heads towards Coach Klein’s squad.

The Tigers take on Holy Cross tonight in the second to last home game of the season and face Fern Creek on the road Friday evening. Two more wins this week look on the horizon which would bring the Tigers very close to another 20 win season that is appearing very possible once again this season.
