2nd Region Week 2 Review and Rankings

2nd Region Week 2:

The headline of the week may come down to a coin toss between the #1 team in the region and a team sitting outside the top 10. Lyon County lost its first game of the year on the road to Father Tolton out of Columbia, MO in a game where they scored only 54 points.   The Dawson Springs Panthers went 2-0 this week with a road win over Apollo and a district win over Hopkins County Central.  They will not be outside the top 10 this week, however, as the Panthers have proven themselves a contender in the 7th district. 

Team Rankings

1. Lyon County- Though they dropped their first game of the season, it was on the road to a high-quality out-of-state opponent.  Lyon is still on top in Region 2. 

2. UHA- The Blazers dominated Murray at home and played McCracken to a two-possession game on the road.  UHA looks like the real deal and their performance this week bumps them up a spot in the rankings. 

3. Henderson County- The Colonels are the only undefeated team in the region but have only played 2 games so far.  Henderson County defeated Paducah Tilghman on the road this week however their light resume caused them to drop a spot in the rankings. They can solidify the second spot in the region on Tuesday however as they play UHA at home. 

4. Hopkinsville

The Tigers dropped a home game to McCracken and then rebounded with a big win over Caldwell.  They hold on to the 4 spot. No doubt the young Tigers are a legit contender in the 8th. 

5. Madisonville

The Maroons make the biggest jump in the rankings this week after getting a home win over region opponent Christian County and a convincing 39-point win over John Hardin. 

6. Christian County

Christian finished up the week with solid wins over Paducah Tilghman and Rowan County.  However, they dropped a spot in the rankings this week as they lost to region opponent Madisonville. 

7. Webster County

Webster County lost their first game of the season to South Warren.  Though 4-1, the Trojans don’t have any strong wins on their resume.   That could change this week as they face Calloway County in the 2A tournament. 

8. Dawson Springs

The Panthers jump into the top 10 this week with solid victories over Apollo on the road and Hopkins County Central at home. 

9. Hopkins County Central

After dropping both games this week, the Storm will look to right the ship with week on the road at Russellville. 

10. Caldwell County

The Tigers still sit at 3-2 but fell to Hopkinsville in a lopsided game this week. 

The Rest of the Region: 

Union County- (2-1) 

Trigg County- (1-3)

Crittenden County (0-4)

Heritage Christian (3-3)

Fort Campbell (1-3)
