The Kentucky prep girls basketball playoffs continue with the 6th and 7th region semifinals.
One game pits old rivals Sacred Heart and Assumption.
Sacred Heart, is our High School Playbook School of the Week!
The trophies stand as a silent testimony to the tradition of success at Sacred Heart Academy.
The school has come to help define a standard of excellence in girls prep sports in the Bluegrass.
The Valkyries have won multiple state championships in just about anything you want to talk about, but its basketball team remains the front page news.
This season Sacred Heart is back in the conversation for the Sweet 16 after a rare brief moment out of the spotlight in the pre-season.
Few expected Sacred Heart to get this far after losing so many valuable players to graduation last year.
By making the regional semifinals, the Valkyries have proven the critics wrong.
Sacred Heart made the most of their rare and brief time off the radar early this season, the young team grew up fast.
They have 24 wins in 28 games and are one of the few remaining girls teams playing in Kentucky.
The Valkyries' standards are high, reminded daily practicing under championship banners in the gym.
The athletic benchmark of success here at this school is, "Have you cut down the nets?"
