Week Eight Review:

 

Its all about Madisonville-North Hopkins and Webster County. Everyone else is far behind. Teams are getting closer, but not enough to pull down either team. Here are the week 8 rankings:

 

1. Madisonville North Hopkins – BGP #8

Season record: 18-3

The Maroons had an uncomfortable win at Lyon County 71-64, but easily defeated both Dawson Springs and Hopkins County Central to extend their winning streak to 7 games. They will have a tough matchup at Owensboro before heading to Union County to close out the week.

 

2. Webster County

Season Record: 18-2

 

Webster County breezed past both McLean County and Union County on their way to their 5 straight win and 8 of their last 9. They will play at home against Caldwell County and then Henderson County. The Henderson game should be very interesting.

 

3. University Heights

Season Record:10-9

 

The Blazers only had one game this past week, the first round of the All A State Tournament against region 1 foe Murray. It did not go well for anyone on the team. UHA only scored 33 points in a poor showing and a 27 point loss. The team will try to rebound as they travel to Tiger gym to face Hopkinsville next.

 

4. Lyon County

Season Record: 11-8

 

The Lyons gave Madisonville-North Hopkins all they could handle, but still fell short 71-64. They took the loss out on Ballard Memorial scoring 100 points since Dec of 2008 and beating the Bombers by 28. They will play Dawson Springs, Trigg County, Caldwell County, and Calloway County in a very busy week of play.

 

 

5. Henderson County

Season Record: 12-9

 

Henderson won both their games against Indiana teams this past week and that will set up a big game against Webster County on Friday. They also will play Daviess County this week as well.

Season Record: 9-12

 

The Wildcats had a very tough week losing 3 games, all of them less than 10 points and could have been won. Losses to Caldwell County, Dawson Springs, and Union County dropped them from their .500 record. They play Lyon County and Crittenden County next.

Not sure what to make of this Storm team. After losing their first 13 games, they have now won 4 of 6 and that includes a big upset of Union County in overtime, at Union. They did get waxed by Madisonville, but that was expected. They will play McLean County and Dawson Springs next.

 

14. Fort Campbell

Fort Campbell’s woes continue as they are going the opposite direction of Hopkins Central, they have lost 4 in a row and 11 of their last 12. They hope to stop the bleeding against Livingston Central this week.
