Sources provided separately cover All “A” Classic play in the 14th Region and should not be conflated with the March 3 KHSAA quarterfinal result. Wtcwam reported that "The girls 14th Region All “A” Classic Basketball Tournament semifinals were played last night at Lee County High School in Beattyville" and listed All-A semifinal results including Knott Central 54-50 Hazard and Breathitt County 59-51 Owsley, with a championship scheduled at Lee County with tipoff at 7:00 p.m. WYMT’s All-A coverage offers different scores and play-by-play; for example WYMT reports "Hazard went on a 5-0 run to start the game, courtesy of a three-pointer by Maddi Frohnapfel" and records a Hazard final of 63-45 over Knott in its write-up, while also scheduling a semifinal at Alice Lloyd College for Jan. 9 at 8:00 p.m. Those competing All-A Classic lines and venue references differ across Wtcwam and WYMT and are listed here as separate, explicit reports.

What is verifiable from the assembled materials is the March 3 KHSAA region outcome and the season records shown in the Facebook fragment; box score details, the March 3 game location, and postgame comments were not supplied in the material provided. County athletic officials or KHSAA/14th Region offices can confirm official box scores, the game site, and whether the March 3 quarterfinal is administratively distinct from the All “A” Classic listings that appear in the other coverage.
