1st Region Week 9 Review

Week Nine Review:

Murray and Marshall County continue to improve, while McCracken has a 13 game winning streak, although the game against Graves was too close for comfort and is a reminder that teams have to play their best week in and week out. Here is week 9 review:

1. McCracken County – BGP #7

Season Record: 19-4

McCracken has now extended their winning streak to 13 games. They defeated Carlisle County and St Mary pretty easily, but Graves County gave them a serious fight. The Mustangs did come away with a 66-60 victory at home, but it shows that McCracken hasn’t wrapped things up yet, even though they have not lost a game in the region yet. They will play Massac County (IL), Cairo (IL), and then a very big game against Collins on Saturday.

2. Marshall County

Season Record: 15-9

Marshall extends their winning streak to 8 games as they easily defeated Caldwell County and Warren East and pulled out a close game against Paducah Tilghman. They seem to be back on track but do have some critical games coming up against Graves County, Murray, and Calloway County

3. Murray

Season Record: 19-4

The Tigers continue to impress as they won 2 games this week against St. Mary and more importantly Mayfield. They have won 8 of 9 and look to be a team that could pull the upset and win the region. They have a big game against Marshall County next week and then McCracken County on Feb 17.

4. Paducah Tilghman

Season Record: 14-8

The Blue Tornado won two of three games this week, defeating Mayfield and Union County. The one game they really wanted to win, they fell just short, losing to Marshall County 65-56. They will play Graves County and St. Mary this week hoping to hold on to that 4th position in the rankings.

5. Calloway County

Season Record: 14-9

The Lakers split games this week, losing to Graves County 58-36 in a surprise score, and then defeating a solid Lyon County team by 14. They will play Mayfield and Murray this next week. Two important games for the Lakers.

6. Mayfield

Season Record:14-6

Mayfield has hit their first tough patch this season, and have lost 3 of 5 including games to Paducah Tilghman and Murray this week. They were able to defeat Crittenden County pretty handily. They will play Calloway County and Ballard Memorial this week.

7. Carlisle County

Season Record: 12-9

The Comets lost big to McCracken County, but bounced back nicely against Ballard Memorial and Dongola (IL). They will play Fulton City, Fulton County, and Community Christian next, all possible wins.

8. St. Mary

Season Record: 12-10

The Vikings lost both games this week. They dropped games to both Murray and McCracken County, which was expected. They will try to get back on track with a winnable game at Dawson Springs before heading to Paducah Tilghman and then Lyon County

9. Graves County

Season Record:8-14

The Eagles pulled a fairly decent upset against Calloway County. Maybe more surprising was the score (58-36). They followed that up with a very close game against McCracken County where they only lost by 6. They will play Paducah Tilghman and Marshall County next…tough stretch for the Eagles here.

10. Fulton City

Season Record: 8-8

Fulton City split their games this week defeating Hickman County but dropping their game against South Fulton (TN) in overtime. They play Halls (TN) and Carlisle County this week.

11. Fulton County

Season Record: 9-11

The Pilots defeated both Ballard Memorial and Community Christian, but were unable to top Cairo (IL). They will be back on the floor against Lake County (TN), Carlisle County, and Hickman County this week.

12. Hickman County

Season Record: 6-13

The Falcons won 3 of their 4 games this week, defeating Community Christian, Ballard Memorial, and Livingston Central. The only game they lost was to Fulton City

13. Ballard Memorial

Season Record: 3-19

The Bombers lost all three games this week and their losing streak is now at 6. They will attempt to break that streak this week against Mayfield and Livingston Central.

14. Community Christian

Season Record: 1-21

The Warriors couldn’t get close to pulling out another victory this week, losing 4 more games. They will play Crittenden County and Carlisle County this week.

Christian Fellowship*

Season Record: 12-7

The Eagles winning streak was snapped by Livingston Central 54-49. They did win two games before that against Community Christian and Carroll Academy (TN). They play Fort Campbell and Evangel Christian this week.
