It will be a battle for second place supremacy in the 49th district as the Tigers travel to Jackson County Friday night.
The Generals are 14-6 on the season with only one home loss, a 47-41 defeat to Barbourville on December 18th.
It’s always a battle when the two teams meet and coach Michael Jones expects this to be another one.
“It’s always tough in McKee as this is one of the best rivalries in the region,” he said. “The gym will be packed, and I know the Tiger Nation will be there in full force. We appreciate our fans and their tremendous support.
The Generals have four players averaging in double figures with Brennan Combs at 12 ppg., Wyatt Gray, Tansen Truett, and Joona Holm at 10 ppg. each.
“They have a very balanced scoring attack as you won’t see many teams with four players averaging in double figures,” Jones said.
Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
