BluegrassPreps.com 3rd Region Week 4 Rankings and Review

The Red Devils remain in the top spot this week.  They scored the regions best win of season so far by beating previously unbeaten Evansville Reitz.  Coach Drake is playing a relentless schedule that is helping mold this new look Owensboro team game by game.  They continue that pace this week by facing a surprising Mclean County team and a very good Castle, Indiana team.  Muhlenberg County continued their early season struggles this past week and will look to get their season on track in Illinois at the Centralia Holiday Tournament.  Owensboro Catholic is a team to watch as Ji Webb came back to the lineup this past week.  Brian Griffith is scheduled to return to the team sometime in the next few weeks which will completely change the look of the Aces.
