Congratulations to Head Coach Derrick Akal on his selection as the 13th Region Boys Basketball Coach of The Year! Coach Akal will be honored at the 2023 KY Boys High School Sweet Sixteen held at Rupp Arena in March.
After nearly a decade of missing out on the 13th Region Tournament, under the leadership of Akal the Dragons are looking to make their sixth consecutive trip in as many years. He led the Dragons to a 52nd District title over the Black Bears in 2021 and has won five (5) All-A 13th Region Titles.
Harlan has spent the majority of the season sitting among the top of 13th Region teams while reeling off nine consecutive wins twice throughout the season. Harlan will look for win number 24 on Tuesday night at 7:30 when they take on the Bobcats from Bell County in opening round action of the 52nd District Tournament.
