6th Region Boys week 7 review

[Chopper6]

6th Region after week 7

We are starting to see some movement in the rankings now that all the teams have a few weeks under their belts - let's see what's happening!

(season averages in parenthesis)

1. DeSales (10-5)   The Colts continue to take on a brutal schedule.  With Covid changing the schedules for many teams - DeSales picked up two opponents this week - #2 in state Ballard (88-83 loss) and #8 in state Oldham Co. (77-72 loss)  While they lost both games, it did little to knock them out of their #1 in region ranking.  Senior Devin Perry has cemented himself as the likely player of the year in the region, putting up 40 vs. Male and raising his season average to 20.1p a game.  Sekou Kalle continues to be a force (19.3p/11r) inside to give DeSales possibly the best 1-2 punch in the Louisville area.  The Colts return to the court on 2/22 - traveling to Collins

2. Fern Creek (5-4)  The Tigers are another team that has played an extremely tough schedule.  They sandwiched a good win over a tough Doss squad (73-63) between losses to juggernauts Ballard (74-71) and Bowling Green (70-54)   Jr Darian Lewis is pacing the Tigers (14.6p) in scoring, and sr. guard Jaden Rodgers has returned from injury to play some minutes the last couple of games.  FC also got news that FL transfer TJ Toney will be eligible this week - which will give their backcourt a boost.  They return to the court on 2/26 vs. Manual.

3. PRP (6-2)  The Panthers had very solid week - defeating district foe Holy Cross 89-61 and then beating Doss 86-73. Soph Zee McCown leads the Panthers in scoring(18.1) and assist, but they are starting to get help from jr. Vic Lado (11p/7r) and after a slow start, sr. G Nevin White is rounding into form (21p/8r vs. Doss).  They next host Evangel on 2/22.

4. Doss (5-2)  The Dragons have raced out to a 5-0 record, but lost this week to tough opponents Fern Creek (73-63) and PRP (86-73).   Senior Tony Moss (17.7p/ 8r) is leading the team, but sharpshooters jr.
