Thoughts:

-The top 5 teams are all still the same, but a little bit different. Washington County solidified their spot at the top this week with a win over Bowling Green on Saturday.

-Adair County is rolling to start the season. A big district win against Taylor County on Friday night gets their district season off to a good start. They’ll be tested early this week when they host Elizabethtown.

-Elizabethtown drops a spot after a rough loss to Lexington Catholic. Prior to that game last week though E-town had 2 really strong wins, one against Bowling Green and an overtime win against district rival Central Hardin.

-Central Hardin had a good week going 2-1 with that loss being the OT loss to E-town. They travel to Taylor County for a top 5 matchup.

-Taylor ended the week dropping 2 in a row. One to Adair and then a 22-point loss to Male.

-Larue Co. and North Hardin swapped spots after North pulled out a 1-point victory against Larue, at Larue. Larue has 2 district games this week that could give them a big edge early in the season.

-The 18^th district right now seems to be pretty even, with all four teams in the top 10, holding spots 7-10. Hart picked up a big district win against Caverna. I still think Caverna is a slightly better team, but if Hart can keep producing wins, it will be hard to keep them from moving up. Green County dropped two very close games to top 10^th region teams in Mason Co and Augusta. Don’t sleep on Green County.

-After the top 10, things really drop off for the 5^th Region. Campbellsville is off to a terrible start, and it won’t get any better this week. Things don’t look much better for Thomas Nelson. John Hardin or Ft. Knox will get their first win of the season on Monday, when they play each other.
