Here it is, feel free to chime in with thoughts, opinions, differing ideas, etc (appreciate my friend @DragonFire with the assist):

1. Sacred Heart
2. George Rogers Clark
3. Bethlehem
4. Cooper
5. McCracken County
6. Pikeville
7. Frederick Douglass
8. Owensboro Catholic
9. Butler
10. Franklin County
11. Ryle
12. Manual
13. Ashland Blazer
14. Meade County
15. Corbin
16. Mercy
17. Henderson County
18. Christian Academy
19. North Laurel
20. Boyd County
21. Montgomery County
22. Covington Holy Cross
23. Russell
24. Pulaski County
25. Southwestern

A couple of thoughts here:

*  I think NDA has to be one of the best 25 in the state.

*  Mercy seems high without Leah, but I guess time will tell.

*  Manual seems low, in spite of a few key losses, their style, tenacity, and togetherness just keeps them in games.  Plus, while she is a lot on the sidelines, they are VERY well coached.

*  Ryle will be interesting all year, two GREAT seniors and D1 recruits, but will be interesting to see how the rest of the roster develops and falls into their roles.

*  I loved the Bethlehem team last year, and Leah's game is so polished and mature, but 3 seems a bit lofty for the Banshees.

? We'll get a chance to see if NDA is worthy of ranking by the end of week two @The Double Deuce. Dec. 2 vs. #21 MoCo and Dec. 9 vs. #25 Southwestern. Seven more games are scheduled against Preseason Top 25 teams before seasons end. 

Throw in a few GGCL games, plus whoever they'll play in the Zaxby's tourney in Nashville, and a majority of everyone mentioned in your NKY thread - that's a pretty full slate to measure against.
