Maci Brown broke her wrist at the LIT last game also.

Really terrible for Henderson! I got to see them play twice in the LIT and was hoping that it would be a Henderson vs. E-Town Championship game. I saw the Brown girl hurt her wrist......sucks for them, she is a really good shooter. I was really impressed with their PG #23. She is a very composed floor general. Wondering how much of a "foreshadowing" the LIT provided for us to see the things to come in the State Tourney!

I think Holmes overall body of work warrants the higher ranking overall! Only loss coming to the #6 team while HC lost to #11 and unranked Brossart and an out of state opponent.

 

 

Some valid points here dg21, but Holy Cross lost to Brossart with starting big Ally Mayhouse out and starting point guard Mclendon out after an ankle injury around the second half two key parts to the Indians team the East Carter loss came while playing that game with again Mclendon playing with a bummed ankle and Deja Turner not playing one second in that game due to injury, there out of state loss to a team which I would put the money on the table would beat majority of this top 20 pretty handily maybe not E-Town but it would be a good game so that loss doesn't hurt the Indians at all! All this being said Holmes has taken care of business with there schedule they have put in front of them but head to head has to be a factor in these rankings and after the past few weeks HC has played there tails off and also taken care of business which I think puts them in the top 5 ahead of Holmes!

It's a matter of opinion and all teams will have a player or two out here or there and Holmes is no exception to that! Holmes lost a contested rivalry to a very good team and although I hear your head to head has to count opinion I just don't think that game was a true representation of either team because of the ties and rivalry! And aside from the loss to cross the Lady Dawgs have not slipped up full squad or not!??

I think East Carter could be a little higher. They defeated #6 Cov. Holy Cross by 11 on a neutral floor. they have split 1 point games Ashland lost by 4 to #17 Franklin Co.

Number 23# had about 20 mins of playing time until the LIT is really coming on strong. Last night she had a great game and got the start.

This might end a lot of arguments on these rankings everyone is harping on who lost to who and who beat who and saying Holy Cross should be low like they are because of who they lost to which is a valid point in ranking teams, BUT if that's the case then Holmes should not be in the top 5 because they lost to HC which lost to those teams that are keeping them out of the top 5 and Highlands might as well not be ranked if that's the case because they also lost to HC! Not taking anything away from Holmes or Highlands Both fantastic ball clubs love watching both play, but HEAD TO HEAD is very important when it comes to rankings it cannot be left out when making these things!

Also another point that needs to be made strength of schedule is always a factor in making these rankings Holmes has played two teams on this list and won one of those games by 2 and lost one by 4 yet they are ranked above both teams HC has played 6 of these teams and lost 1? Pretty sure a 6-1 record against the states top 20 is better then a 1-1 record against these teams!

I think Holmes overall body of work warrants the higher ranking overall! Only loss coming to the #6 team while HC lost to #11 and unranked Brossart and an out of state opponent.

 

HC out of state opponent is ranked 18th in the country and that's an ESPN ranking can't say that loss really hurts them!

So you're saying Holmes (21-1) shouldn't be in the top 5 bc they lost to the #6 team in the state and played a bad (offensive) game?

First...it was a joke because it's been the first question asked everytime the poll comes out. Second, last I checked, OC is one of the favorites to win their region. Third, never said a word about Highlands. But I'm glad they are on your mind!

 

Not sure where your comment came from.

 

Just yanking your chain a little RCC9, no harm intended. You know OC is a Class A school that just played in that ALL A State tourney that some here dont like......just having some fun with you.

21-1!!! Peroiod

Great record but against top 20 in the state competition 1-1!!!!! Period!

I think they are a very good team should be ranked top 5 but the way everyone is basing there opinions of HC because of there losses should be ranked where they are and not ahead of Holmes, so if that's the case Holnes has a bad loss on there record because of losing to HC with the losses they have!

HC deserves to be where they are at if not possibly top 5. But HC is the number one team in NKY right now with wins over both of the HHS's

 

Holmes is definitely where they should be. 21-1 with their lone loss coming from a rival team.
