For the first time in 12 years, Christian County will appear on the Trigg County boys basketball schedule.
TCHS athletic director Jim Perrin confirmed to me Thursday that Christian County will play at Trigg County on Jan. 27, 2012. It will be the first game between Trigg and Christian since the 1999-2000 season.
Christian County leads the all-time series with Trigg County 42-6. The Colonels won 28 straight games in the series from 1974 to 1997. Trigg beat Christian County in the 1997 Second Region title game and again the following year at Colonel Gym. However, Christian County returned the favor with a 108-60 win in 1999 and a 100-41 win in 2000. The teams haven't played since.
The last time Trigg County played a defending state champion was 1986 when the Wildcats lost to Hopkinsville 102-51.
The game with Christian County means Madisonville is now the Second Region opponent that Trigg has the longest regular season scheduling gap with. The Wildcats and Maroons met in the region tournament in 2007 and 2009 and in the Marshall County Christmas Tournament in 2003. But Trigg and Madisonville have not met in a regular season game since 1990.
