The Lady Colonels lost to Webster 61-40 Feb. 12 in Hopkinsville in their lone regular season matchup. Webster also ended Christian County’s season last year with a 45-32 victory in the region championship game.

In the 6pm opener, Madisonville (23-7) meets Henderson County (16-8). Madisonville, who lost to Henderson 73-37 on Jan. 12, has lost 41 straight games to the Lady Colonels dating back to 1987.
