Coaches name All-11th Region boys’ basketball team
Lexington Catholic’s Reece Potter and Frederick Douglass Coach Wes Scarberry took top honors as the 11th Region’s boys’ high school basketball coaches named their all-region team and coach of the year.
Potter, a 7-foot senior center committed to Miami (Ohio), earned player of the year honors as the top vote-getter among all-region players. He’s averaging 18 points and nine rebounds per game for No. 2 Lexington Catholic.
Potter was recently named co-player of the year by the larger Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches and, as such, is a candidate for this year’s Mr. Basketball, the state’s highest individual honor for a senior player.
This is the second 11th Region Coach of the Year award for Scarberry, who has led Douglass to a 26-2 record and a No. 9 rating in the final media poll of the season. Also honored as such by the KABC, he’s in his first season with the Broncos after taking the job as interim head coach in October.
