East Ridge Boys Basketball Breaks Streak(s), Makes History!

On Tuesday January 18, 2011 the East Ridge High School Warriors Basketball team broke a streak dating back to 2002, by being the first 15th region team to beat, the Shelby Valley Wildcats on their home court since Paintsville on Dec 20, 2002.  East Ridge is also the first Pike County team to beat Shelby Valley on their home court since Pikeville in the 2000 59th District Tournament Championship game and since Pike County Central during the 1999 regular season.  East Ridge is only the second team to beat Shelby Valley on their home court since the 2004/2005 season.  This also makes the first home court loss for Shelby Valley since winning their State Championship title last year.  This East Ridge team also made school history with this win by being the first ever East Ridge team to beat Shelby Valley on their home court since the establishment of East Ridge.  Adding the fact that Shelby Valley and East Ridge have been arch rivals since the debut of East Ridge, and that Shelby Valley is the defending State Champions, makes this win even greater for Warrior fans.
