Thoughts:

-Adair County holds onto top spot despite losing to Larue Co in the 2A sectional finals.

-North Hardin moves up a spot, has a great week against 17^th district opponents and picks up big wins over Elizabethtown and Central Hardin.

-Larue County probably had the best week of any team in the region, going 3-0 through the 2A sectionals and winning their section. They dominated Taylor County from the tip, defeated Washington County by 8 and then held off Adair County to win the sectional. Larue has now won 8 of their last 10 games.

-Hart County stay in the top 5 didn’t last long. A 5 ranking was probably to high for the Raiders but they had won the games they should’ve won. This week they dropped 2 games including a district game to Green Co.

-Speaking of Green County, they are a team on the rise. They played well in all of their games this week, going 2-1. They kick off All A action on Tuesday night and should be the favorite to win the All A in the 5^th Region this year. I predict a Caverna/Green Co. final.

-Not much change in the bottom of the region this week and doesn’t look like much will change for several of those teams in the foreseeable future.

-As a region, they went 15-18 this week. Not a lot of games coming up this week, but games of note are: North Hardin at North Oldham, Washington County at Woodford County, Elizabethtown at Central Hardin, Hart County at Caverna, All A Finals which should be Caverna and Green County and then Larue vs Fleming County in the first round of the 2A state tournament.
