The season is winding down and its getting close to tournament time.  Here is my ranking and outlook for each team

Rankings:

1. Simon Kenton-  just had a big win versus Anderson recently.  They are the most talented team and they are well coached.  They are most peoples pick to win the Region

2. Anderson County- they have most likely the region player of the year in Laney Johnson.  Do they have enough to beat Simon?  It will be fun if they matched up in the championship game.

3. Grant County- I know they just lost to Walton badly but they are the only team with the firepower to beat Simon Kenton other than Anderson.  That is why I have them in the 3rd sport

4. Spencer County-  I am not sure how talented this team is top to bottom but they are very well coached.  They could give anyone a scare late in the tourney.

5.  Walton Verona-  same as Spencer.  They are a really good team that could beat anyone on any given nigh.

6. Woodford County-  they are the surprise of the year for me.  They have beaten some really good teams this year.  Will they be able to make it out of a tough district though?

7. South Oldham-  I feel like they have underachieved this season so far.  They are in the weakest district in the region so they will get a number 1 seed that will help but if they draw the wrong team , they might not get out of the first round of the region.

8. Owen County-  this team plays hard and attacks the basket.  Any time you have a great point guard you can win games and they have one.

9. Gallatin County-  a team that plays with alot of grit.  I think they will get to the region but their semi-final game of the district will be a battle.

10. Trimble County-  they don't have a ton of talent but they have a winning record which says a lot about their coach and how the kids play together.

11. Oldham County-  a program that has been below average all year..  They have some wins but have a lot of bad loses.

12. Collins-  they have a couple of great athletes but just don't have enough top to bottom to compete with good teams.

13. North Oldham- they are playing a lot of young kids. Almost beat Oldham County so they could possibly get to the region which would be a great accomplishment for them.

14. Carroll County-  they play hard and compete nightly.  don't see them going to the region this year.

15. Eminence - big win over Henry County .  Its always fun to win a rivalry game.

16. Henry County-  same as Carroll , they compete on a nightly basis.

17. Shelby County-  they have one kid that can get buckets but the rest of crew is working to get better.

18. Williamstown- 1 win this year.  They are working hard to pick up their second one.

19. Cornerstown Christian- still new to KHSAA.  They are working to get better.

Hard to see how the 8th Region is anything but the Simon Kenton Lady Pioneers' Invitational in a few weeks.

Especially after the one-way traffic for them at Anderson County this week.

Anything can happen during tourney time , but I would definitely agree it would be a shock if they don’t win it all and cut the nets down at Henry County
