3rd Region: Week 5

[ApolloFan98]

Most of the region had a light week following the holiday tournament schedule the past few weeks.  With the winter storm over the weekend, you can expect the midweek games to be canceled or postponed.  The weather looks bad for Friday, so there is a decent chance there are no games played this week.  While wins and losses have to mean something in the rankings, Butler County still looks like the team to beat in the region.  They battled Great Crossing on Friday before giving away in the final few minutes.  The Bears can score a lot of points in a short period of time, making them the most explosive team in the region.  They remain second this week but until someone in the region challenges them, they are the early favorite to return to Rupp.
