16th Region Week 6 Review
 
Ashland Blazer and Morgan County remain the only unbeaten teams against regional competition, both at 3-0. Russell is now 9-1 against the region. Ashland Blazer stays on top of the rankings despite more than expected losses. The Boyd County Lions remain at No. 2 even though they have cooled off from a hot start. Tough-scheduling Fleming County has moved into a tie at No. 3 with lesser-challenged but red-hot Russell. Surging Morgan County leapfrogs recently reeling Bath County into the No. 5 spot. Menifee County moves into the top 10. Menifee County's Brevon Ricker, Ashland Blazer's Zander Carter, Bath County's Zack Otis, Morgan County's Gatlin Griffith and Fleming County's Seth Hickerson continued to pour in the points.
 
Regional rankings:
 
1. Ashland Blazer (9-6): The Tomcats went 2-0 for the week with lopsided wins against Johnson Central and Pikeville. Zander Carter scored a team-high 33 points against Johnson Central. He's averaging 24.2 points per game. The four-time defending regional champions have won three of their last four games following a 5-5 stretch that included a nine-point road win against Boyd County.
 
2. Boyd County (11-3): The Lions lost their lone game of the week, dropping a 67-58 decision against 9-4 Pike County Central at the Kentucky 2A Championship Sectional Tournaments. Jacob Spurlock had 12 points and a team-high seven rebounds. They have dropped two of three after the 10-1 start.
 
3. Fleming County (9-7): The Panthers finished 1-1 for the week. They nabbed an easy win against Rose Hill Christian as Adam Hargett scored 30 points. But they took a second loss of the season against highly ranked Mason County despite 32 points from Seth Hickerson at a Kentucky 2A Section 6 contest. Hickerson is averaging 19 ppg. The Panthers are 5-2 against the region. Other previous results: Lost to once-beaten Owensboro Catholic by 13, beat Russell by 21 and lost to Bath County by one in overtime. Other losses have come against Butler, Highlands and Ashland Blazer. They've been tested.
 
3. Russell (13-3): Yet another winning week for the Red Devils, who went 2-0 with wins against East Carter and Lewis County. Damon Charles was the only double-digit scorer against East Carter with 17 points. The Red Devils have now won eight straight games. The lone regional loss was to Fleming County by 21 in December. Beat Bath County by nine Dec. 8 but has not played nearly as tough a schedule as Fleming County.
 
5. Morgan County (9-2): The Cougars absolutely destroyed Bath County, 81-54, behind 34 points from emerging star Gatlin Griffith, who hit nine 3-pointers. And they whacked West Carter, 69-55. Griffith, a transfer from Elliott County, had 19 points in that one. Third on the Cougars with 13.5 ppg, Griffith has led the team in scoring in three straight contests while averaging 26 ppg in that span, nearly double his season average. Morgan County, Ashland, Boyd County and Russell are the only teams in the region with fewer than two losses against other regional teams.
 
6. Bath County (9-4): The Wildcats snapped a three-game losing streak with a win at Elliott County, thanks in large part to Zack Otis' 17 points. They lost at Morgan County by 27 despite 26 from Otis, averaging 28.7 ppg. Lost to Russell by nine earlier in the season and beat Fleming County by one in OT. They are 5-2 against the region.
 
7. Rowan County (6-8): The Vikings have lost four straight after an 0-2 week which included losses to Mason County at the Kentucky 2A Championship Sectional Tournaments and Floyd Central. Still giving them the benefit of the doubt over Raceland because of their 46-20 win versus Raceland in last year's first round of the 16th Region tournament. Beat Menifee County by 21 earlier in the season.
 
8. Menifee County (6-9): The Wildcats finished 1-1 for the week with a win against Raceland and a loss to 9-7 Wolfe County. Brevon Ricker hit 17 of 18 free throws and went off for 40 points against Raceland. Ricker had 25 against Wolfe County and is averaging 25.5 ppg.
 
9. Raceland (7-5): The Rams lost to Menifee County and played Elliott County on Saturday at the 16th Region All "A" Classic at Menifee County. Raceland hasn't beaten a Kentucky team with a winning record.
 
10. East Carter (7-6): The Raiders lost to Russell and beat West Carter with 17 points from Evan Goodman.
 
11. Fairview (6-7): The Eagles went 2-1 with victories vs. Adams County Christian (OH) and Grace Christian (WV), and a loss to Calvary Baptist Academy (WV). They have lost to Raceland.
 
12. Lewis County (3-10): The Lions went 0-2 with a loss to Montgomery County and another to Russell.
 
13. West Carter (3-9): Had a 1-2 week with losses to Morgan County and East Carter and a win against Rose Hill Christian at the 16th Region All "A" Classic.
 
14. Greenup County (3-10): The Musketeers dropped their fourth in a row with a loss to Estill County at a Kentucky 2A Section 6 contest, their only game of the week.
 
15. Elliott County (2-10): The Lions lost to Bath County and played Raceland Saturday night at the 16th Region All "A" Classic while looking for their first win against another team from the region.
 
16. Rose Hill Christian (2-10): The Royals were 1-2 for the week with a win against Hannan (WV) and losses to Fleming County, and West Carter at the 16th Region All "A" Classic. They are 0-6 in regional play.
