NKY Girls Basketball Top 10 (Week of 2/10/25)

[The Double Deuce]

Was a terrific week in NKY, with a slew of great games, and a lot of clarity on who and what as we end the season.  For the 9th, at least for me, it looks like two contenders, three "could win it with a bounce or two", and then likely 3 "happy to make it to NKU" (although NewCath is playing much better, and after yesterday, I guess you never know).  SKLP would be #1 if not for that OT home loss to Cooper, but they look like they are the clear favorites in the 8th Region.  

Notre Dame settled the debate in the 35th, at least for now, and if Sophia stays healthy they look like the best threat to Cooper to win the 9th.  She is such a difference-maker this year!  Holy Cross comes off the narrow road win at NewCath yesterday with three BRUTAL games this week, so if nothing else, they'll be "battled tested" as they enter the post-season.  Dixie dropped two games to Ohio teams before picking up a win yesterday.  Brossart and NewCath appear to be coming together, Scott appears to be sliding back a little, and Campbell County is impossible to predict from one day to the next (as is often the case with a team is so perimeter-oriented).  In Ryle's case below, I'm factoring in the sad news that they have lost Jaelyn Jones for a few games.

This week has some interesting games, beyond Holy Cross' gauntlet, with Cooper playing Dixie, SK getting Sacred Heart in Independence, Notre Dame getting state #2 GRC, and Campbell County and Dixie tangling in Edgewood.  Should make for a great week!
