The Braves welcomed Lloyd Memorial to the Grant County High gym for a showdown on Feb. 14.
The Braves sent the Juggernauts home with a 64 – 43 loss.

Coach Jim Hicks said that his team would have to come out and play good team defense, with Lloyd being a quick transitioning team and having some good and quick players. ”They have a four-year starter, Meco Carter,” said Hicks. ”He is lighting quick so we are going to have to do a good job of getting back in transition and protecting the ball.”

Cody Miskell, a senior at Grant County High School, spent two 16-hour days at the Alltech State Wrestling Tournament last weekend.

Both days, Feb. 15 and Feb. 16 began at 7 a.m. and lasted until 11:30 p.m. as Miskell competed against 32 other heavy weights from across Kentucky.

Miskell won all his matches the first day of the tournament. The second day he secured a spot in the top six by winning the two matches of the day. He then fell to Bobby Bryant in the third match.
Miskell did bring home a fourth place medal.

Cody Miskell wrestled his way to the state tournament last weekend with a win in the heavy weight division over Newport, Ryle and Dixie Heights.

Miskell, a senior at Grant County High School, had no losses in the regional tournament on Feb. 8 and Feb. 9. He’s the first Grant County wrestler to place number one at regionals.
He will be the only wrestler from GCHS to move on to state competition on Feb. 15 and Feb. 16 at the Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park.
