Thoughts:

-Washington County remains undefeated and in the number 1 spot. We should get a chance to see how good Washington County actually is over the next few days when they play at The King of The Bluegrass.

-Adair County had a very impressive win this week against Elizabethtown. Connor Loy dropped 30 in that game. They had 2 more games this week that they seemingly slept walked through and managed to drop 92 and 81 points in those two games. If they can continue that kind of offensive output in games that they don’t play very well, they will be very dangerous.

-Hart County had the best week of any team in the 5^th Region. They had two nice wins against Meade County and then a huge district win against Larue County. It was their first win against Larue County in 19 tries. Their last win against Larue was way back on Jan. 15, 2016.

-The 18^th district is absolute chaos right now. Larue County was the heavy favorite to walk through the 18^th this year and they sit at 0-2 in district play, dropping two straight to district rivals Caverna and Hart Co. Hart holds wins over Larue and Caverna. Green holds a win over Caverna. Caverna holds a win over Larue, and Larue is winless, but you can’t expect them to stay that way.

-John Hardin continues to struggle and honestly their schedule isn’t going to help them much. They are 0-8 and just looking ahead I don’t see a real winnable game on their schedule until January 20^th when they host Iroquois.

-The region continues to show it has depth. The top 10 teams in the region should all be competitive against one another. Bardstown, at 11 shouldn’t be counted out. Past those teams, the region drops off quite a bit, but this is by far the deepest the region has been in some time.
