The Breckinridge County High School baseball and softball teams are scheduled to play games this week, with the baseball team hosting North Hardin and the softball team traveling to Butler County. Meanwhile, the University of Kentucky men's basketball team was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament with an 82-63 loss to Iowa State.

Why it matters

High school sports are an important part of the local community, and these games provide opportunities for students to compete and represent their school. The UK basketball team's early tournament exit is a disappointment for the program and its fans, especially given the lopsided nature of the loss.

The details

The Breckinridge County High School baseball team, currently 2-1 on the season, will host North Hardin this afternoon at 5:30 pm. The Lady Tiger softball team will travel to Butler County on Monday evening. In the NCAA Tournament, the Kentucky Wildcats were defeated 82-63 by Iowa State, with Denzel Aberdeen scoring 20 points for UK and Otega Oweh leading Iowa State with 18 points. This was Kentucky's worst tournament defeat since 1972.
