theguru Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 We had the 1st Region ranked like this near the end of the season last year. What does this year look like? 1. Marshall County (22-7) - this is a well-balanced team that is simply finding ways to win right now. 2. McCracken County (24-7) - the one/two punch of Senior Connor Miller and Sophomore Jackson Klope may be enough to lead them to Rupp Arena. 3. Murray (23-9) - a very narrow loss to the Marshals, and I think they led most of the way. This is a senior-led team that has a very good chance. 4 (tie). Mayfield (19-8) - this team just keeps getting better. They are capable of a big upset this week. 4 (tie). Paducah Tilghman (14-15) - they have some guys who are really playing well right now. My question for them is are they capable of strining together three wins in a row? 6. Graves County (20-10) - the Eagles have been on a slide the last part of the season, but this team also has several seniors who don't want their high school career to end. 7. Carlisle County (21-10) - Coach Oneil is crafty and he will have them ready to play this week. 8. Fulton County (6-23) - their mascot is the Pilots.

D Wolf Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 D Wolf’s Top 10 would be: 1. Calloway Co (can they get over the hump?) 2. Marshall Co. (don’t lose much from the Region 1 title team) 3. McCracken Co. (always towards the top of Region 1) 4. Tilghman (guards, guards and more guards. Do they have any size?) 5. St. Mary (return quite a trio but not much else) 6. Murray (lose 4 key seniors but lots of young talent) 7a. Graves Co (watch out for Waller) 7b. Mayfield (also has a lot of young talent) 9. Carlisle Co. (should win District 1 again) 10. Ballard Co (Jace Birney!) What would y’all change? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westernky Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Your rankings look very accurate to me. I think there will be a slight gap between 3.McCracken and 4. Tilghman and a bigger gap between 5. St. Mary and everybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet16 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Klope being out will be tough for McCracken. I think it is Calloway and then Marshall and then everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Wolf Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I had not heard anything about Klope. He would easily be a Top 5 player in 1st Region. Did he have a significant injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Wolf Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Man I really hate that for him. He’s a great player - really good size and handles the ball well for his size too! If he won’t be available next year then I still expect Klope to have a big senior year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Wolf Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I’m not sure if the loss of Klope flip flops PT and McCracken? PT has really struggled to beat the Mustangs over the past 5+ years. With Woodfork, Wilkins, Campbell, and I guess the Vikings transfer - Tilghman should be able to score the basketball. I still obviously think Calloway and Marshall are 1/2. Any other news out there from Region 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
