Coaches name All-11th Region boys’ basketball team. LexCath sweeps top honors.
Lexington Catholic swept 11th Region boys’ basketball player and coach of the year honors as voted on by coaches who have announced the All-11th Region Team for the 2021 season.
LexCath senior, Ben Johnson, already named a Mr. Basketball finalist by the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches, topped the list of all-region players in voting that included 17 of the 11th Region’s 19 teams. His coach, Brandon Salsman, earned his second accolade as region coach of the year after also receiving that distinction from the KABC.
The honorees will be recognized at next week’s 11th Region Tournament at Eastern Kentucky’s McBrayer Arena.
