Trevor Setty hit a three-pointer with a half second to play to give the Mason County Royals a 57-55 win over June Buchanan tonight at Perry County Central. The Royals led 47-36 with 1:30 left in the third quarter. Darius Miller, who scored 28 points, fouled out with 1:28 to play with the Royals leading 54-52. Clark Stepp hit two free throws to tie the game. Mason County had turn over and June Buchanan was playing for the last shot. Stepp got fouled with 7.5 seconds and made one of two free throws to put the Crusaders up 55-54. Russ Middleton drove in to front court, pentrated the zone and kicked the ball out to Setty for the game winning basket.

Former Royals coach and current Pikeville College coach Kelly Wells was at the game tonight. I interviewed him at halftime. I interviewed 1980 Mr. Basketball Ervin Stepp on the postgame show. Ervin is Clark Stepp's uncle. Ervin was impressed by Miller. He also said he told his employees when Kentucky didn't sign Chris Lofton that Lofton would haunt the Wildcats.
