CORBIN \u2014 Harlan County is two wins away from repeating as 13th Region champions after securing a 61-49 victory over Knox Central during first round action of Wednesday\u2019s 13th Region Boys\u2019 Tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maddox Huff turned in a 28-point scoring effort in the win for the Black Bears (24-8) while Trenton Cole added 18 points and Jaycee Carter finished with six points and three assists. Reggie Cottrell finished with four points, 11 rebounds and three assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harlan County took a 5-0 lead, and held the Panthers without a field goal until the 3:48 mark of the first quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two 3-pointers by Cole and a long distance 3-pointer by Huff pushed the Black Bears\u2019 lead to 15-6 entering the second quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harlan County\u2019s lead grew to 24-10 after 3-pointers by Brody Napier and Cole but Knox Central closed out the first half with an 8-2 run that included a buzzer beating 3-pointer by Burton to cut the Panthers\u2019 deficit to 26-18 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huff led Harlan County with nine points in the first half while Cole and Carter had six points apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burton led Knox Central with nine points while Nathan Dunn had four points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huff caught the hot hand in the third quarter, scoring 11 points while helping the Black Bears increase their lead to 45-34 entering the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Panthers pulled to within six points (50-44) of Harlan County\u2019s lead with 3:40 remaining after 3-pointers by Summers and Austin Bargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Black Bears pulled away down the stretch to secure the win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
