Coach Piper Lindsey’s club has gone 3-1 since losing sophomore Macy Lockhart to a torn ACL. Raven Ennis has led the club with 16.2 points per game. Barren plays three games this week – out-of-region dates with Pulaski County and Casey County preclude a district matchup with Glasgow.
2. Bowling Green 3-3 2
