Monday news and notes

 Here are a few Monday news and notes:

• Two Mason County soccer players received All-Region honors. Noah Gardner was named to the First Team and Juan Carlos was named to the Second Team;

• St. Patrick junior cross country runner Gabe Sammons finished 10th in the Greenup County Invitational on Saturday with a time of 19:21.58;

• With the Maysville Miners winning their opening game on Sunday, I did some more research on the unique rules in the American Basketball Association. A half-court shot is worth four points; teams have only seven seconds to get the ball across the timeline; if a team committs a turnover in the backcourt, the 3D light comes on and an extra point is added to any basket scored off that turnover; players foul out when they committ their seventh foul; and players who foul out in regulation are allowed to play in overtime.
