Despite the No. 13 Wildcats' 11-10 first-quarter lead over No. 4 Jackson, the Indians cruised to a comfortable opening-round win.

Falling behind after one quarter and playing with second-string players, Jackson (8-1) scored the first 14 points of the second quarter and outscored Leopold 18-2 in the period to lead 28-13.

Scott County Central 73, Kelly 51

Chris Pullen may not have been able to match Bell City's Dominitrix Johnson and his 47 points, but Pullen's 33 points along with countless rebounds and blocked shots helped propel the No. 7 Braves to a lopsided first-round win.
