Thoughts

- The 5^th Region is loaded with teams that can win the region this year. Any of the top 7 teams could be the #1 team at any point during the season, and I wouldn’t sleep on Green County or Caverna after watching them play this week.

- Washington County & Elizabethtown are as good as advertised.

- District play picks up this week with some key matchups in each district. 17^th District- Central Hardin at Etown, 18^th District- Caverna at Hart County, 19^th District- Bethlehem at Washington County & Bardstown at Nelson County. 20^th District- Taylor at Adair County, Campbellsville at Marion County

- I expect a lot of fluxations in the top 7 teams or so throughout the first few weeks as it's tough to tell with so much out of region play. 

-The games on Saturday, Dec. 9th at Bardstown High School will be fantastic and should really let us know how a few of the region teams stack up against each other and some of the other top teams in the state.
