The Scribe Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 While most people south of Robards figured Henderson County was in for a long rebuilding season, those in the know knew the Colonels would be in the mix of things by the time the postseason rolled around. With a win over Madisonville and a close loss to Hopkinsville, the Colonels make the biggest jump in this week’s region poll. Both Christian County and Hopkinsville had globe-trotting wins this week, although Hoptown dropped a close game to Wayne County a day after beating Madison Central. Christian County held off an improving University Heights and beat First Region favorite Paducah Tilghman to remain atop the region standings. After a hiccup at Christmas, Trigg County has won six of seven games with two different players reaching 1,000 career points in the past three weeks. Webster County split a pair of games with First Region foes Mayfield and Graves County. Second Region Rankings 1. Christian County – The Colonels have done nothing to remove them from atop the rankings and have won despite playing without a player or two due to sickness 2. Hopkinsville – Tiger head coach Tim Haworth picked up career coaching win #150 last week. 3. Madisonville – The Maroons are wobbling a bit in the three-slot but still own wins over Webster County and UHA 4. University Heights (+1) – The Blazers are the overwhelming favorite to win the All-A Region and could make some noise in Frankfort. 5. Henderson County (+1) – The Colonels are starting to click. 6. Webster County (-2) – The Trojans almost knocked off First Region Top Three Graves County. 7. Trigg County – The Wildcats have a measuring stick game with Christian County Friday. 8. Caldwell County – The Tigers have dropped seven of nine games but don’t drop in the poll because they have beaten everyone below them 9. Union County – Bo Robison gets his 23 points a game, but an inconsistent supporting cast keeps the Braves from gaining ground in the region 10. Lyon County (+2) – The Lyons beat Hopkins Central in overtime to leapfrog the Storm into the Top Ten 11. Hopkins County Central (-1) – Even roller coasters get nauseous watching the Storm play 12. Dawson Springs (+2) – The Panthers are playing better of late 13. Livingston Central (-2) – Just when you thought the Cardinals were turning the corner, a pesky seven-game losing streak pops up 14. Fort Campbell (-1) – The Falcons have that Feb. 13 date with Crittenden County circled on their calendar 15. Crittenden County – See Fort Campbell above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cols Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Cols are starting to play better and have not had 6'4 junior stater Dawson who broke a finger at half vs hoptown, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKY Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I also heard that the really good sophomore they had is no longer on the team either. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrojanAlum36 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 If it's the Calloway kid you're referring to, he transferred to union county after he was dismissed from the team about mid December. Decent scorer but definitely a defensive liability. I don't think they miss him much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cols Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I trouble liability is the main reason they are not missing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenvilleky Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Pretty good list. I'd be interested to see Madisonville vs. uha on a neutral floor or at uha. That won't happen this year as UHA probably won't make it out of the district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scribe Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm curious to see the Bowling Green/Christian County match up Tuesday in Hopkinsville. Just 12 days until Christian County and Hopkinsville meet for the first time this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenvilleky Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Bowling Green Vs. County should be great. I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
