Earlier in February, No. 4 Madison Central (27-3) held the number one spot in the rankings, only to lose it thanks to an upset loss to a then-unranked Woodford County squad. But on Friday night, the Indians did to No. 1 Covington Catholic (26-2) what Woodford did to them, stunning the top-ranked Colonels 70-60 in Richmond.
In a battle where both the 9th and 11th Region Players of the Year — Cov Cath’s Austin McGillis (20 points; 9th Region) and Madison Central’s Jake Feldhaus (19 points; 11th Region) — led their respective teams in scoring, it was the Indians’ supporting cast that was the X-factor.
