Week 1 Rankings

1. Covington Catholic 1-0

Cov Cath takes over the #1 spot this week. The Colonels take down Lex Cath while shooting 63%. 3 Colonels scored 20 or more point (McGillis, Harney, and Bradshaw.) I under its only one game but if these 3 can stay consistent this team will be very scary come Region.

Cats took their first loss of the season against a tough Princeton team. Cats were down as much as 17. Newport Sweeps at Hoopfest in Marshall County.  All 5 Newport starters are closing in on averaging 10 points per game 4 games into the season. Yamil Rondon has yet to make his season start but be prepared for him to come out hot. Starks and and Turner will be a problem for all teams Newport Face. both Lowe's and Anderson will be key's on both sides of the floor.
