Henry Clays boys basketball team went 11-0 in December, winning the Woodford County Invitational Tournament and Lexington Catholics Republic Bank Holiday Classic along the way.
But the No. 4 Blue Devils are 0-1 in January after losing to No. 5 and host Scott County 89-86 in overtime Friday night.
The game had 17 lead changes and 10 ties.
Scott Countys hero was Seth Crank, who it a three-pointer with one second left in regulation to tie it 79-79 and force the extra period. Crank then hit two free throws with 12 seconds left in OT for the final score.
Quin Richardson led the Cardinals with 26 points, and his backcourt running mate Trent Gilbert had 20.
Christen Cunninghams 23 points paced Henry Clay. Jordan Green had 22.
Last February, Henry Clay ended a six-year, 17-game losing streak to Scott County. The Blue Devils beat their district rivals again last month in the finals of the Woodford County Invitational. But Scott County avenged that loss with Friday nights victory.
The teams will meet again on Feb. 5 at Henry Clay.
