The chaos continues in the 12th but the picture may have gotten a tad bit clearer. I think the region can now be organized into several tiers:

Clear Front Runner - DCA

Most Likely to Contend as Well - Pulaski & Mercer 

Flawed but Have a Puncher’s Chance - Lincoln County, Wayne County, Southwestern, West Jessamine, Garrard County, Somerset, and Boyle

And then everybody else (though that could also probably be broken in to tiers as well).

That third tier is going to get broken up as we progress with some teams rising up into contention and some falling off. There is a host of talent still in that group so it will be fun to see who can thrive down the stretch. 
 

Rankings

1. Danville Christian - The Warriors played just one last week, a win over rival Danville. Evangel Christian, Somerset, and Madison Southern are on their schedule this week though those first two games are in serious doubt due to weather. Somerset is the opening game of the All A Tournament so if not payed Tuesday, expect it to be played shortly after.

2. Pulaski County - They had to travel to Dayton, Florida to do it, but the Maroons defeated South Laurel. They face face Rockcastle, Casey, and Corbin this week (and DCA is waiting for them the next week).

3. Mercer County - The Titans fell to Harlan County last week though Hagan Preston impressed with 22 points. They have Garrard County and West Jessamine on the schedule this week.

4. Lincoln County - A tough LaRue County team got the best of Lincoln last week. The Patriots look to bounce back host Rockcastle, Boyle, and McCreary this week, all three games they should win if they want to present themselves as a contender.

5. Wayne County - Ryder Bell and Kendall Phillips both got 18 points and 11 rebounds in a one point win over Boyle. They are on the road twice this week as they travel to Southwestern and then East Jessamine.

6. Southwestern - Antajuan Dumphord had 20 in a Warriors’ win over West Jessamine. They are set to host Wayne County before visiting Somerset this week. 
7. West Jessamine - The Colts blew out Scott County before this loss to Southwestern. This week they are set to play Burgin and Mercer County, two district games.

8. Garrard County - The Golden Lions were off last week. They are scheduled to play Mercer County and Bryan Station this week.

9. Somerset - The Jumpers fell to Rockcastle by 5. They have to try and pick themselves back up as they have DCA and Southwestern scheduled this week, DCA being their first game in this year’s 12th Region All A Tournament.

10. Boyle County - The Rebels fell by one point to Wayne County. Henry Clay, Lincoln County and East Jessamine are all on their schedule this week.

11. McCreary Central - The Raiders have won five in a row. They have two really tough road games this week against Lincoln County and Harlan County.

12. East Jessamine - The Jags blew out district opponent Trinity Christian last week. Russell County, Wayne County and Boyle County await them this week.

13. Danville - The Ads fell to rival DCA. They start All A play this week.

14. Rockcastle County - The Rockets defeated Somerset and fell to Scott County by 2. They face Lincoln, Pulaski and Warren East this week.

15. Somerset Christian - The Cougars loss to Wolfe County last week. They play in the All A this week.

16. Trinity Christian - The Titans lost to East Jessamine and Paris. They open up

with Burgin in the All A.

17. Burgin - The Bulldogs continue to struggle but hope to compete in that opening round of the All as against Trinity Christian.

18. Casey County - The Rebels play Pulaksi County and June Buchanan this week.

19. Kentucky School for the Deaf - The Colonels have Iroquois and Covington Latin on the schedule this week.

The game with Mercer County is a semifinal in the 2A Sectional. Lexington Catholic plays Bourbon County in the other semifinal, with both games scheduled to be at Garrard on Tuesday and the finals on Thursday. Obviously that could all be affected by weather.

I like your tiers and agree with them. While I think in January we will see some in that third tier separate from others, I do think there’s clearly a “top 10.”

Garrard County better hope it snows when they play Bryan Station and that game gets canceled. 

Garrard steps up competition this week. Be interesting to see how the Lions respond.

Is that even possible in the middle of the season?

I didn’t mean that to read like I doubted you, I was curious about eligibility.

Will likely have to wait on eligibility if I was guessing. Best case scenario eligible in a month or so. Worst case will be back this time his junior year. 
 

Turner and Hager who both left Boyle were eligible and able to play within a month.

Are you certain that’s the case?

Yes. 

I hope this weather doesn’t take away some great games. I’m looking at you DCA vs Pulaski 

West Jessamine is a team I’ve watched several times. Biggest wildcard in the region.

I want to see this one.  They were supposed to play last season, and the weather took it away.  Very interested in the potential result.  I would lean Maroons right now.

Would really like to see this one as well. I’d have a hard time not going with the home team in this matchup, but I do think DCA is the better team at this point.

At this point what is going on with Boyle County and the Coaches? 3 Kids in the same class all tranfer out. All 3 great players at that.
