  • Heavy Hitters Head to Hardin County Sectional Gallatin County, Goreville, Meridian, Steeleville Combined for 95-Wins
    Heavy hitters head to Hardin County Sectional Gallatin County, Goreville, Meridian, Steeleville combined for 95-wins 02-26-13 BY JACK BULLOCK EDITOR/WEB PUBLISHER www.abaselineview.com ELIZABETHTOWN - The Hardin County 1A Sectional is provocative to say the least. Three of the schools involved are familiar foes while one outsider is hoping that its long journey across the state from west to east results in a trip to SIU Arena next Tuesday. The Gallatin County Hawks are the champs of their own regional, taking care of business with a 64- 42 win over Norris City-Omaha-Enfield in the title game to secure a spot in the sectional for the third consecutive season. In their mission this season, which stands at 25-3 at this moment, they have taken care of two of the three teams left to deal with. Coach Radar Patton's ground troops have a 50-49 win over Goreville at SIU Arena back in December and a 55-44 victory over Mounds Meridian in the semifinals of the Eldorado Holiday Tournament. Led by 7-foot senior center Andrew Drone (32-points and 14-rebounds a game) the Hawks have tasted defeat just three times, twice to 2A powerhouse Harrisburg and a road loss at the Nashville Shootout against the host Hornets, 35-28, a game in which Nashville scored the game's final eight points to pick up the win. Gallatin County is far from a one-man band, having 6-foot-5 senior Patrick Lowe running the floor and averaging 16-points a game.
