Meade County is starting to get healthy. Cooper Crump has returned to the team from an injury after having a solid season last year as an 8th grader. Looks like Armstead is starting to pick things up after suffering a pre-season injury and missing a few games (don't think he's all the way back yet, though). Going back to the win against Breckinridge, I believe that the Waves are 6-2 over that period. They will only get better over time, especially if Armstead can return to the level of play he showed in AAU ball and in the pre-season. I firmly believe that a healthy Meade County is better than Ohio County (lost a close one to Ohio Co. without Armstead and Crump) and should be contending for your #4 spot in the rankings before long. I also throw out the loss against O Cath since it was without Armstead. Hard to tell how that game would have gone if he had played, but the lopsided loss was due to a massive number of turnovers that he certainly would have helped with. I'm combining all of that with a win against your #1 team to make an argument that this team is potentially better than your current ranking shows.

After a full slate of games last night and some losses by a few key teams, I feel strongly that Meade Co. is worthy of being higher up in the rankings. Meade's only two losses in the region were its first two games without a very key player. I'm not explaining those losses away entirely, but I do think that Meade is probably worthy of at least being in your #4 slot in the rankings.

Since Muhlenberg county's very successful holiday tourneys (5-1) against some very good teams, the Mustangs seem to have had zero consistency. Offensive plan of attack, defensive strategy, and starting line ups/rotations are a crap shoot. Not real sure what the young coach Kyle Eades is attempting to accomplish however his timing is odd to make such drastic changes to a team that has proven they can win once the bridle comes off.

I've said all along you can really throw a blanket over 10-11 teams in this region. The rankings are really fluid. Grayson County started well, hit a rough patch and now have reeled off some impressive wins in a row. A team like Meade, who hasn't been fully healthy for much of the season, is really hard to get a read on as well. I would bet they will be in the mix come tournament time. A lot of teams in the middle of the pack have solid talent up and down the lineup but very little varsity experience that has returned. I think that's contributed to the inconsistency. From what i've seen thus far, Owensboro, Breckenridge County and Owensboro Catholic are the most talented teams in the region but not by a lot. This could easily be a season someone comes from no where to make the trip to Rupp.
