The 3rd continued to struggle against teams outside the region this week.  Owensboro remains in the top spot this week and continues to adjust to their smaller lineup.  Kenyatta Carbon stayed hot and has been the most consistent player in the region through the first 3 weeks.  Muhlenberg is getting back on the court this week after the storms forced some cancelations on their schedule.  Mclean County had another strong week.  Coach Lynam keeps finding ways to win at a program that hasn't had a ton of basketball success traditionally.  Grayson County again struggled against teams outside the region and needs to find more consistency if they want to be considered among contenders to win the region.  Finally, Owensboro Catholic got Ji Webb back in the lineup on Saturday as the Aces narrowly defeated Butler County.  The Bears are also off to an impressive start.  With Webb back in the lineup, the Aces should see a big lift.
