11th Region Week 5 Review

At the halfway point in the season, things in the 11th region haven’t changed much from where we started in November.  There is a ton of parody in teams from 6-15 and right now it looks like any of the top 5 could beat each other on a given night.  Looking back at Week 5, GRC came out on top in a stacked field at Lexington Catholic in their WGM Classic which included 4 of the top teams in the 11th region. Lexington Catholic finished in 4th place in this event, with 2 respectable losses to Ballard and North Laurel.  The Blue Devils picked up their first two losses of the season to Woodford County and Dunbar. Dunbar also defeated Great Crossing, but lost to PRP and Trinity.  Madison Central also picked up two more losses to Ballard and Woodford County. McCracken County came out on top of LCA’s Central Bank Classic.  Check out the other results around the 11th region this week below and take a look at the team rankings to see the top teams so far in the 11th region. Happy New Year!

How is PLD 5-6, aren’t they favorite in the 11th region from what/ to all coming back from last season? I get it that one of their better player transferred out, but I thought they had everyone back. 

The loss of Tim Hall definitely changed the ceiling for the Bulldogs. They are still a solid team that has played a challenging schedule with a new coach. We should learn a lot about PLD over the next few weeks with games against Madison Central, GRC, and Lexington Catholic. 

Great Crossing probably should be a bit lower.  No really good wins and lost to Dunbar.  

You're right.  Should've had them behind Dunbar because of the head-to-head.  I'd move them to 6, just ahead of Tates Creek.
