Thoughts:

-I was out of town last week, so I didn’t have a week 7 recap, so this week’s rankings are kind of a reset and where I see the teams in the region based on the entire season.

-Adair County has a big week as the #1 team. They are scheduled to host Evangel and then they travel to Taylor County. A win against Taylor on Friday night will lock up the #1 seed for the 20^th district.

-It’s a big week in the 17^th district with North Hardin playing 3 district games, Etown playing 2 games, Central Hardin with 1 game, Fort Knox plays 2 games and John Hardin plays 2 games. By the end of this week, we should have a pretty good idea what the 17^th district tournament is going to look like.

-Caverna heads to the All A State Tournament this week. They’ll play Pikeville in their first game on Thursday.  Admittedly, I don’t know much about the 15^th Region, but based on RPI, Pikeville should be the likely winner.

-Taylor County, who has lost 7 of its last 8 games, has a chance to get back on the winning side. They host district rivals in Campbellsville and #1 Adair County this week.

-Bardstown was able to get in 2 games this week. They lost both but one in overtime and the other in double overtime. They should end up being the #2 seed in the 19^th district tournament but don’t count them out when it comes to the district and region. Boo Brewer’s teams are never a team you want to play in late February or early March.

-Nelson County shows a record on KHSAA of 4-6. They do not have the games that they played in Illinois over Christmas break on there anymore. They went 1-3 in 4 games during that tournament. If anyone has any idea why these games aren’t showing up and not being counted, I’d love to know.

-John Hardin may have its best chance to get in the win column again this season this week. They travel to Atherton and Fort Knox. Fort Knox defeated John earlier in the season by 13 points, but it’s been a long layoff for Fort Knox. They’ve only played 1 game since the calendar turned to 2024. If John doesn’t get a win in either of those 2 games, I don’t think they’ll win another game the rest of the season.
