5th Region Notes:

No change in the top seven, despite losses by Bardstown and Marion County. I just can’t bring myself to move up a team who hasn’t stepped on the court yet. I will do my best to remain consistent on this throughout the season.

I have a feeling 8-13 or so will be jockeying for position all season. Hart County and Green County were the big movers this week in that range, each jumping two spots, with a case to be made for Green County to move another one or two. Taylor County and Washington County swapped the 11 and 12 rankings. 

The 5th Region All A Tournament tips off… or flips off perhaps(?) Monday with Bethlehem looking for their first win of the young season at Green County. Campbellsville awaits the winner of that one on Tuesday. Caverna and Washington County square off Wednesday night, and the Finals will be held Friday.
