Watch Reed Sheppard in the 13th Region Championship

In a rematch of last year’s 13th Region championship game, North Laurel and Knox Central will meet in Corbin Arena for the region’s trophy and spot in the Sweet 16. Knox Central is seeking its fourth consecutive Region 13 title, while North Laurel chases its second in school history.

For North Laurel, Kentucky commit Reed Sheppard leads the way as the Jaguars’ star guard. He’s fresh off a 36-point performance in the semifinal game in which he shot 13-of-16 from the field without a miss on three 3-point tries and nine free throws. North Laurel won by 28.

Knox Central is also coming off a large margin of victory. The Panthers defeated South Laurel by 30 in their semifinal game. Three-time Region 13 Player of the Year Jevonte Turner, Kentucky Football target Gavin Chadwell, and Isaac Mills lead the defending champs.

With so much hype around Sheppard, plus Knox Central aiming for 4-Peat, WYMT.com will air the entire game LIVE online. For Region 13 fans within WYMT’s viewing area, the game can be seen on the Heroes & Icons channel.
