Since this was posted in the boys forum, thought we could give the girls side a shot.

Any thoughts?

37th is my top pick because like the boys Campbell and Scott are very strong and return alot of talent from last season. Brossart is always competitive and have the bigs, but this season guard play will be questionable at seasons start. Calvary Christan will be the 4th place team with not very much to pull from it makes success in the 37th extremely difficult. Silver Grove may or may not have a team this year but it will not change the dynamic of the district.

39th

Mason and Bracken will be 1 and 2 all season. Mason will be the heavy favorite to repeat as district champs and probably the region as well. If I am Mason County I definitly would not sleep on Bracken County. They return one of the best players in the region and with the bigs they have for next season and strong guard play it not out of the realm of possibility that Bracken County upsets Mason for the district and makes a solid run in the region. Augusta lost Jerrica Kelsch to graduation and that will be a huge loss to fill but they have some good young guards coming up that will try to fill the void, and possibily win a few more games than most will expect. St. Pat will round out the 39th with not much to speak of last year was not the best for the Lady Saints and I dont expect this season to be much different.

40th

The 40th IMO is GRC's to loose. The other three teams will be in competition for 2nd place. The loss of Skinner will leave a big gap in their offense but with Anderson Hardiman and Flowers GRC will be a tough out for any team come the region tournament. MoCo will look to improve on their down year last season. Kennedy Igo will be their young go-to player. She played big minutes last season as an 8th grader. As for Bourbon, I look to have a down year in comparision to the last few with Asia Simms gone to graduation. Finally, Paris will also be in the mix this season as they will return several ladies from last years team names to watch will be Kailee Finch and Gloria Pounce and Kiara Garrard.

(2-4 could be in any order and i would agree)

 

38th

This will be the last place district im my opnion. Not very much star power in this district and much like the boys i see it has a PC HC showdown. Harrison looses 3-4 seniors and will look to some incoming freshmen Kellione, and Clements alongside Sr. Philpott to provide the offense. As for Pendleton they also lost 4-5 seniors Makela Manor and Bailey Wanstrath will be the biggest losses, but they will look to a couple seniors Makayla Bishop and Amberly Purdy to pick up the scoring along with Madison Wyatt. Robertson was probably the biggest loser from last season with Lacy Mitchell graduating and the transfer of Sainer. Robertson will have to find offense from some unheard of names this season. Breanna Hubbard, Breanna Hesler, and Cari Linville will have to pick up their production from last season for the Lady Devils to be sucessful. And finally Nicholas Co. the loss to graduation of Megan Bretz will loom large for the lady jackets but they will look to Abby Dorrset and Samantha Sowell to take up the slack.

Think it will be very interesting to see the impact that the various coaching changes around the region will have, as well.

This may have a factor in how teams perform this coming season.

I would only assume that there is an expectation that these changes affect how those teams perform.

Several new coaches indeed. Cox at Mason and Bradshaw at Bracken both inherited pretty good teams. Had lots of success last season with essentially the same teams coming back. Bray at Augusta come in as the well is starting to run dry. But there still a few decent guards down there to win some games against the bottom half of the regions teams. Kelsch at Robertson has to have gotten the shortest straw. Will definitely be a test to the veteran coach. Player development will definitely be a focus for him there. Maybe one area that he has not relied on while he was at Bracken, due to the talent he had while there, so we should see how well he can develop players because it will be vital to the success or lack of success he experiences at RCHS.

I'm trying to see who got the shorter end of the stick, Kelsch or Bracken.

And I'm trying to see your logic here? Bradshaw has a lot more talent to work with in his first year with at Bracken Co. than Kelsch has at Robertson Co. Not trying to sound negative here I really am wondering.

I'm talking about who got the short end of the stick in relation to the coaching change. Bradshaw will have a lot of expectations with that program. After all they won the All A when they weren't expected to win much after losing a class of 9 seniors. They still retained the best player, but I was surprised with them winning 18 games.

 

As for Kelsch, I'm sure he understood the ramifications of moving to Robertson County, but then again, they offered him a coaching job. I'm trying to find the logic of Bracken's move. Would've been glad for Mason to have hired him, but I think we still had a good hire with Coach Cox.

I guess one would have to know a lot of behind the scenes details, not just the wins and losses.

Thanks for the follow up and I agree with you assessment 100%

This.

Mason will win again! I just don't see Bracken winning. Plus, has the Cummins girl had anyone look at her? You think you would be hearing more about that.
