Rank Team (Overall Record; Region Record)

1. Henderson County (6-1; 0-0)

No one has played a tougher schedule than the Lady Colonels. They have claimed victories over state powers Bullitt East and Campbell County, and their lone loss came at the hands of Mater Dei (Evansville, IN). Alisha Owens is playing at a high level and they have found some shooters to surround her with. It didn't take long for Henderson County to remind everyone how dominant they can be.

2. Hopkinsville (6-2; 5-0)

Their size will give you nightmares and makes for a tough night on offense. They are undefeated in region play, including a win over preseason favorite Webster County. The only losses on their record have came from state champion contender Murray and 1st region power Graves County. They look to be the most likely candidate to take down current favorite Henderson County.

3. Webster County (3-3; 1-1)

The Lady Trojans dropped a tough one in the season opener to #2 Hopkinsville on the road. You may be able to credit their early season struggles to adjusting to a new coach (their 3rd in 4 years). I wouldn't panic just yet. Webster County is notorious for playing their best basketball at the end of the season. They still have plenty of time to work out the kinks before they face #1 Henderson County on January 10th.

4. Christian County (4-3; 3-0)

The Lady Colonels have shown they are a contender with convincing wins over #5 Madisonville-North Hopkins and #6 Hopkins County Central, and their 3 losses have came at the hands of some really good teams. The once young team with potential is coming to fruition and expect fireworks on January 13th when they face #2 Hopkinsville.

5. Madisonville-North Hopkins (5-2; 3-1)

The Lady Maroons may have the best post combo in the region with Molly Stone and Kalveonna Pepper. However, guard play and bench depth may be backbreaking in the postseason. They defended their home court against #6 Hopkins County Central earlier this week to show they are still the team to beat in the 7th district. Their lone region loss was to Christian County in a game that was much more lopsided than the final score looks.

6. Hopkins County Central (3-3; 2-3)

We have heard this song before. The Lady Storm are stumbling out of the gate and hoping to turn it around before tournament time. All 3 losses have been in region play: #2 Hopkinsville, #4 Christian County and #5 Madisonville-North Hopkins.

7. 4 Way Tie (too close to call this early in the season)

Caldwell County (5-3; 4-2)

Crittenden County (6-1; 4-1)

Lyon County (5-2; 4-2)

University Heights (5-3; 3-2)

Any one of these teams could beat the other on any given night. We've already seen Caldwell County take down Lyon County and University Heights but lose a close one to Crittenden County. Crittenden County has beat Caldwell County but lost in convincing fashion to Lyon County. Lyon County ran away with the game against Crittenden County but lost to both Caldwell County and University Heights. University Heights beat Lyon County but couldn't prevail over Caldwell County. It is evident that the 5th district will come down to Crittenden County and Lyon County, and Caldwell County may challenge Madisonville-North Hopkins and Hopkins County Central for a seat at the region table. Unfortunately, it looks like University Heights will be the team in this group on the outside looking in, as they most likely will not be able to contend with Hopkinsville or Christian County.

11. Union County (3-5; 1-3)

The Bill Price era is off to a slow start with a team that is facing another rebuilding year. Their lone region win is an 11 point victory over #13 Dawson Springs.

12. Livingston Central (2-6; 1-4)

There may not be a team with a more disappointing start than the Lady Cardinals. They returned everyone from a year ago and looked to be in the driver's seat in the 5th district. They barely escaped #14 Trigg County with a 1 point win.

13. Dawson Springs (3-6; 2-5)

The Lady Panthers are surprisingly playing some decent basketball, capturing region wins over #14 Trigg County in overtime and #15 Fort Campbell in convincing fashion.

14. Trigg County (1-7; 1-5)

It looks to be another long year in Cadiz. The Lady Cats got their only win of the season this week against #15 Fort Campbell.

15. Fort Campbell (0-7; 0-5)

Going into last night, it looked like the only team that Fort Campbell could compete with and potentially get a win would be #14 Trigg County. After a 12 point loss that looks less likely. It could be a winless season for the struggling Lady Falcons.
