 MUNFORDVILLE — Kelton “Putt-Putt” Ford’s surge ended Tuesday night, but Dustin Coulter’s recent upswing didn’t.

Facing a 2-2 box defense with a chaser specifically on him, Ford’s couldn’t extend his streak of games with at least 17 points. However, Coulter picked up the slack as the top-seeded LaRue County Hawks pulled away from the fourth-seeded Hart County Raiders, 50-28, in the Boys’ 18th District Basketball Tournament’s opening semifinal at Hart County High School.

The Lady Hawks advance to district championship after a commanding 54-11 victory Tuesday over Hart County. Ivy Brown outscored Hart on her own with 22 points. Alexis Brewer had 18.

They are also guaranteed a slot in the 5th Region Tournament.

 If the LaRue County Lady Hawks need any extra motivation heading into their postseason debut tonight in Munfordville, all they need to do is take a glimpse at their past.

 Playing in her final home game, LaRue County senior Alisha Durbin posted a double-double with a career-high 20 points and 10 rebounds as the Lady Hawks cruised by the Lady Eagles Friday, 70-24.

Junior wing Ivy Brown added 17 points, eight assists, eight rebounds and four steals for the Lady Hawks.


Sophomore guard Alexis Brewer chipped in with 11 points, eight assists and five steals. Junior post Alley Evans had 11 points, five rebounds and four steals and senior forward Haley Holt had seven points and eight rebounds.
