This should be a fun little clash in the Crossroads League tonight. Huntington, under new head coach Kory Alford, is off to a 5-0 start to the season. There first Crossroads League matchup however is against a tough Spring Arbor team, who despite being 2-3 on the season, have good talent, and are well coached!ย
1 Georgetown @ 15 Cumberlands (KY) 7:00pm ETย Live Video
We haven’t seen either one of these teams much this season and neither has played a game in nearly a month. Nothing like a Top 15 matchup that also is a Mid-South opener for each. There is a battle here between two really good guards in Jake Ohmer and Tevin Olison to watch. Both are big time scorers who can take over a game!
Pikeville @ Martin Methodist 9:00pm ETย Live Video
Another fun matchup in the Mid-South tonight as Martin Methodist plays it’s first Mid-South game since switching leagues for this season. This will also be Pikeville Head Coach Tigh Compton’s first game as a Head Coach in the Mid-South. This game should be a fun game and a good measure of where both of these teams are!ย

Five Players To Watch
Jake Ohmer 6’1 G Georgetown – 23.5ppg/3.0rpg
ย Jake shot onto the scene last year for #1 Georgetown after transferring from D1 Western Kentucky. The dynamic guard is smart and crafty and can score in a variety of ways.ย
Tevin Olison 6’4 G Cumberlands (KY) – 18.4ppg/3.6rpg/3.2apg
ย A NAIA DI 2nd Team All-American from last season. Olison is a big guard who is a tough matchup. He can score from all over the court and is capable of completely taking over a game.ย
Zach Goodline 6’1 G Huntington – 16ppg/5.6apg/2.2spg
ย Zach is just a Sophomore, but he has played really well this season. The youngster leads Huntington in both assists per game and steals per game, while also showing that he can score the rock as well.ย
Tavion Mason 5’10 G Campbellsville – 18.7ppg./3.0rpg./3.7apg
ย Another great guard from the Mid-South Conference. Tavion is really fun to watch and when he catches fire he is nearly impossible to stop. He has a great knack for how to get shots off and doesn’t shy away from big moments!
Desean Hampton 6’5 F IU Kokomo – 14.7ppg/12rpg/2.7apg/2.0bpg
A NAIA DII All-American from last season. Desean is a stud who can really fill up the stat sheet. He is a walking double-double and is mismatch with no matter who you decide to guard him with! He has a big motor and is a lot of fun to watch play!
