3.Daviess County(15-5 SAME) - The Panthers got a win road win over Warren East this week. Stewart Currie was a monster.....again. He went for 35/15 in the win. DC 's big district tilt with OHS has been rescheduled for this Thursday. First however, they will host Henderson County on Tuesday.

4.Owensboro Catholic(11-6 SAME) - The Aces picked a good week to have a break, with the snow. OC didnt play last week after coming off a heart breaking, controversial loss vs Mclean County in the All-A. They will play Cloverport on Monday and host Breck County on Saturday.

5.Owensboro(7-6 UP 1) - The Devils pulled themselves above 500 for the first time this season, with a win over Grayson County.

They wrap up the week with a Saturday matinee at Mclean County.

6.Edmonson County(12-7 DOWN 1) - Edmonson had its 5 game winning streak snapped by red hot Mclean County in the semi finals of the All-A last week.

8.Mclean County(7-11 UP 5) - Mclean has reeled off 4 straight regional wins(Muhlenberg, Catholic, Edmonson and Trinity) enroute to the All-All regional championship. Dispite a slow start, Mclean has won almost every important game they have played this season. They are 1st place in the 10th district standings and have now won the All A regional title. They'll look to keep it going this week vs 9th district powers Apollo and Owensboro.

9.Trinity(11-9 UP 1) - Even with the loss against Mclean County in the All-A Championship game, the Raiders are trending upward. Big wins over regional opponents Grayson and Hancock have moved them up the rankings. They have a big district road game on Tuesday against Butler County before hosting Ohio County on Saturday.

10.Hancock County(9-9 DOWN 3) - The Hornets up and down season continues, as they dropped the semi final All-A matchup with Trinity on Tuesday. The Hornets have two games they should win this week vs Cloverport and an Indiana Community school.

11.Ohio County(9-11 DOWN 1) - Dispite two losses in a row, the Eagles are still headed in the right direction. Its hard to hold losses vs Daviess County and Barren County against this young team. They continue to get good production from their PG Conner Wilson and big men Travis Carter and Ross Tichenor. The Eagles postponed two games last week due to snow, one a district matchup vs Muhlenberg. They will make that one up on Thursday. Ohio plays Saturday at Trinity.

12.Muhlenberg County(6-11 DOWN 1) - The Mustangs are struggling to find wins, but you can see this is a young team that is growing. They have played one of the toughest schedules in all of the 3rd region. Its not going to get any easier this week, as they host Bowling Green on Tuesday and travel to Apollo on Friday.

13.Butler County(10-8 SAME) - The Bears split a pair of games early in the week with a win vs Cloverport and a loss at Hopkins Central. Butler sports a nice record but need more signature wins to move up the poll. They host Allen County & Trinity this week.
