1st Region Week 4 Review

Some movement in the rankings this week.  McCracken and Murray remain the 1st Region favorites:

1. McCracken Co. (8-3) - W at Graves 57-53, W at St. Mary 69-36, W at Christian Co 55-42

Mon at Calloway, Tues at Carlisle, Fri at Tilghman, Sat at Henderson

The Mustangs are rolling with a five-game winning streak.  Key matchup with Tilghman on Friday, and a win will lock up the 2nd District top seed.

2. Murray (6-2) - L at Muhelenberg Co. 49-56

Tues vs Marshall Co., Thurs vs Hickman Co., Sat at Greenwood

A key game for the Tigers on Tuesday at home against Marshall, and with a win the Tigers will be in the driver's seat for the #1 seed in the 3rd district and a first-round bye in the district tourney.  Sophomore Grant Whitaker is their leading scorer at 22 points per game.

3. Paducah Tilghman (7-2) - W vs CCA 86-37, W at St. Mary 58-40, W vs Christian Co. 62-61, W vs Marshall Co. 68-55

Fri vs McCracken 

A shout-out to Senior Eli Brown for the driving layup against Christian Co. that won the game 62-61.  Brown also followed up with a 19-point game in a home win against the Marshalls.  The Tornado has 11 straight losses to the Mustangs - the last win against them was February 2017.  Can the Tornado pull the upset on Friday and get that monkey off their back?

4. Graves Co. (6-4) - L vs McCracken 53-57, W at Marshall 52-38, W vs Hickman 79-61

Tues at Ballard Mem., Fri vs Mayfield, Sat vs. Union Co.

The Eagles are playing well and only had a narrow loss against the Mustangs this past week.  They have a key district matchup against Mayfield this week.  This will be a very dangerous team come tourney time.

5. Calloway Co. (4-6) - L at Union Co. 55-66, W vs Mayfield 50-46, W vs Carlisle 81-44

Mon at McCracken, Fri @ Marshall

Two very good wins over Mayfield and Carlisle this week.  A tough week awaits - Monday at McCracken and then Friday at Marshall.  Can they get the regular season sweep over the Marshalls?

6. Marshall Co. (2-5) - L vs Graves 38-52, L at Tilghman 55-68

Tues at Murray, Fri vs Calloway

This is very likely a temporary drop in the rankings because both losses this week were without WKU commit Zion Harmon as he nurses an injury.  The Marshalls will be a threat to win the region with a healthy Harmon.

7. Mayfield (6-3) - L at Calloway 46-50, W vs St. Mary 64-51 (OT), W at Ballard Mem 78-41

Fri at Graves Co.

The Cardinals avenged an earlier loss to St. Mary with an overtime victory.  Can they pull the upset at Graves on Friday?

8. St. Mary (5-7) - L vs Tilghman 40-58, L at Mayfield 51-64 (OT), L vs McCracken 36-69

Mon at Hickman Co., Tues vs Dawson Springs, Fri at Critteden Co.

A tough week for the Vikings, and they took Mayfield to overtime before the Cardinals pulled away.  The Vikings very well could get three wins this week though.

9. Carlisle Co. (5-2) - L at Calloway 44-81

Mon at Livingston Co., Tues vs. McCracken, Fri at Ballard Mem.

The Comets have had some COVID cancellations that have interrupted their season.  However, they still remain the team to beat in the first district.

10. Christian Fellowship (8-4) - W vs Hickman 67-60, W at Foundation Christian 65-23, W vs CCA 80-57

Mon at Dawson Springs, Tues at Todd Co Central, Fri at Danville Christian

Andrew Allen is averaging 17 points per game for the Eagles.

11. Hickman Co. (4-6)

12. Community Christian Academy (2-10)

13. Fulton Co. (1-5)

14. Ballard Memorial (2-10)

15. Fulton City (0-7)
