With Kentucky officially in dire need of a starting point guard, all attention has been shifted towards Class of 2021 guard TyTy Washington to potentially fill the void.
Washington will officially announce his college decision on May 15th, but yesterday told KSR’s Jack Pilgrim that he has again cut down his list to four.

Muhlenberg County High School is your 2021 KHSAA bass fishing champion. Fishing on Lake Barkley the past two days, the team of Lane Tooley and Camden Harris were crowned state champions with a two-day weight of 30 lbs., 8 oz.
