The two were tied at 38 after three quarter of play, the Lady Saints holding the Lady Cats to two fourth quarter points as they pulled away for the victory to improve to 11-9 on the season.

ROWAN COUNY 69, FLEMING COUNTY 46 (BOYS)
Fleming County dropped a 61st District road contest to Rowan County Friday night in Morehead, 69-46.
Headed into the fourth leading 47-42, the Vikings outscored the Panthers 22-4 to pull away for the victory, getting 35 points and 10 rebounds from Mason Moore.
The Panthers got 18 points from Landen Lutz, knocking down four 3-pointers. Kaleb Flanery added 14 points as the Panthers dropped to 7-15 on the season and close out district play with a 1-5 record. They’ll now await their fate as either the three or four seed, Menifee County currently with a 1-4 record in district play with a game still left against the Vikings. If Rowan County wins that one, the two would then have a coin flip for the three-seed and a matchup currently against Bath County, depending on what the Wildcats and Vikings outcome is in their final matchup. Bath County is 4-1 in district play, Rowan County is 4-0.
Fleming County’s next contest comes quickly, hosting Estill County on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
