==============================

Do you think Male repeats this year and takes home the 7th Region title?

Which teams do you forecast making it to the 7th Region tournament this season?

Who are some upcoming players around the region that we haven't gotten to see yet?

Which players will be competing to be the Mr. Basketball finalist from Region 7?

Are there any surprises you think we could see coming out of the 7th Region this upcoming season?

Trinity looks to be favorites in the 7th with transfers Jayden Johnson and Drae Vasser and both should be all region players. 
 

Manual should have good team with Damone King who is one of top players in the nation.

Male will be good with Jack and Cole Edelen and Demetrius White returning.

St. X has some good young talent but Nelson Williams is a sharp shooter that will lead them.

Ballard is always good and should be in the mix for 7th region title. Miles Franklin should be a top all region player for them.

Eastern has a good big man with Sosthene Kamba.

I'm sure there are other good players I'm leaving off and 7th Region will once again be a tough region.

I agree that Trinity returns to the position of being the Seventh Region favorite this season.  However, I think it is technically inaccurate to describe Jayden Johnson as a transfer.  While Jayden played for Male last year, he was an 8th grader and did not attend Male.  This is his freshman year and thus he did not transfer from one high school to another.

I think it is possible that the leading scorer in the Seventh Region will be Kentucky Country Day's Will Crockett.  He can fill it up, and I think the Bearcats will be looking for him to do just that.

Good point, since he played for Male I forgot he was 8th grader.

Chance Dillingham who is St. X's pg and sophomore now has made gains in weight room and improved his vertical. I expect him to have a good year. I was impressed with him as a freshman last year. He shot 42.9% from 3pt line last year.

I saw Crockett play last year against Valley in an early season game.

Didn’t do much (or so it seemed) and then scored 20 something in the 4th quarter!

When he gets it going it was fun to watch.

Bump.
