BluegrassPreps.com 3rd Region Week 11 Review and Rankings

With one week to go in the regular season, there is a little shuffle at the top.  Muhlenberg County lost two overtime heartbreakers against Owensboro Catholic and Lyon Co.  Owensboro Catholic is playing their best basketball of the season right when you would expect a Tim Riley team to be peaking.  They battled Owensboro on Friday before coming up short in the end.  Kenyatta Carbon had a tremendous week for the Devils, as he scored 38 against the Aces and 32 against the Purples.  Owensboro is back in the top spot, as the Devils are rolling toward the post season.  Muhlenberg may have the most complete team in the region but Owensboro with Wales and Carbon, and Owensboro Catholic with Griffith and Webb, have the star power.  Ohio County continues to hang around and consistently win games and are a team to watch as they should be getting top scorer Elijah Decker back before tournament season begins next week.  With only one week to go in the regular season, the 3rd is a 3, 4 team region at best.
