The 2017-18 high school basketball season came to an abrupt end for the Trimble County Raiders who fell to eventual 29th District Champion Oldham County by a score of 83-46 in the opening round of postseason play.

The Raiders fell behind 24-11 after the first eight minutes of play and trailed 39-22 at halftime. The defensive effort of Oldham’s Colonels held Trimble to only 7 points in the third frame and the contest was all but decided after three quarters of play with Oldham fronting by 26 points, 55-29, with eight minutes left to play.
