NKY Week 4 Recap

I'm not sure what we learned about soccer in NKY this past week.  The week ended with a surprise win of St. Henry over Cov Cath 1-0.  This is the first win in 10 years for the Crusaders over the Colonels.  We saw Conner fall to Newport Central Catholic 4-2.  Cooper and Simon Kenton draw 2-2.  Dixie Heights laying the smack down to St. Henry 4-1.  Beechwood beat Boone County 1-0. Highlands and Brossart draw 0-0.  Then Ryle getting back in the win column with a 3-1.  

I'm not even sure how to rank the teams this week with injuries to key players, coaches perhaps playing deeper benches looking to see who can help them come district tournaments, and just overall craziness of no team standing out yet.  

1. Covington Catholic - I know they loss, but they have a good squad and will continue to be tough the beat verses NKY competition.

2. Ryle - Bounced back from one of their worse weeks in years to go 2-1-0 beating both NCC and Campbell County this week.

3. Cooper - They have a major piece of the scoring missing, played some tough team this week and went 0-2-1.  I have them here because of their success verses NKY competition.  

4. St. Henry - Go 1-1-0 this week with the district loss to Dixie Heights but the region win verses Covington Catholic

5. Conner - The Cougars were missing some key pieces and will get one back next week but will still be without Mason Ginn probably next week too.  When healthy the Cougars can challenge for the region, but they have yet to have all their Varsity players available this year.

6. Highlands - They are missing a player too and loss to Cooper and tied Bishop Brossart

7. Newport Central Catholic - Lose 3-1 to Ryle but turn around and surprise Conner 4-2.  

8. Dixie Heights - The Red Colonels are starting to put things together.

9. Beechwood - They are just a hard-nosed team.

10. Boone County - Went 2-2-0 on the week.

Simon Kenton may be figuring things out to...they go 1-0-1 on the week drawing Cooper and beating Beechwood.  Campbell County and Brossart drop out of my top 10 this week...but can be right back in next week depending on some outcomes of big games this week.
