A win against the Indians would put GRC at 5-0 in district play, guaranteeing at least a share of the regular-season district title.

Jerone Morton was the star of the night in the earlier matchup, scoring a game-high 23 points, including nine in the fourth quarter, to help give GRC the win.

Rickey Lovette was Montgomery County’s best player earlier this year, picking up a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double against the Cardinals.

Since they met Jan. 17, both teams have gone 3-0 with one overtime win. GRC has picked up wins against Breathitt County, Bourbon County and Scott while Montgomery County beat Madison Southern, Bath County and Franklin County.
