20th Annual “Preseason Hoopfest”
Hosted by Scott County Lady Cards Basketball
Scott County High School
November 20, 2021
This year’s Hoopfest will consist of 12 varsity and junior varsity teams. This event is sponsored by 10th Planet, Bree’s Kitchen, MLS Motor Sports, Southern States, & Shawnee Run Farm & Greenhouse with a special thanks to “Sports Connection for their support and loyalty to the Lady Cardinals, Scott County Schools, and our community. The scoreboard will be erased at the end of each quarter so the scores mentioned here are just the totals of all four quarters and the stats were reported by me personally except the Scott County game which was reported by their excellent stats crew. Since this was a scrimmage some players were missing and the coaches were working on various rotations and preparing for the regular season. The games mentioned in this report were all varsity games.

This was an excellent day of basketball with several good teams and some very talented players. Some teams especially with a lot of returning players appeared to be in mid-season form while others were experimenting with rotations and strategies for the upcoming season. A special thanks to Coach Steve Helton and the Scott County staff for the hospitality extended me during the event. This event was well run and the teams definitely got the opportunity to get in a good work out to prepare for the season.
