NKY Girls Basketball Top 10 (Week of 2/17/25)

[The Double Deuce]

We have reached the last week of the regular season!!  Been a terrific year, and we are going to get several outstanding match-ups this week as teams finalize their preparations for the post-season, including Cooper with two Top 10 (in KY) road games, and Notre Dame also playing two Top 6 teams in Kentucky.  After the Sweet 16 draw on Friday, it is clear that our local teams are going to have their work cut out for them early down at Rupp with the 8th (Simon Kenton) drawing the 11th in the First Round (in my opinion, likely Franklin County, but there are several good teams there), and the 9th Winner will get the 7th (Sacred Heart, most assume) in the 2nd Round.  Important to be playing your absolute best over the next three weeks with District and Region play right around the corner.

Special mention this week to Simon Kenton who had the WIN OF THE YEAR ending Sacred Heart's 92 in-state winning streak by knocking off the Valkyries in Independence.  What a massive win for SKLP!  They'll remember that one forever.

I think I’m going to vote for SK to be number one. At least for this week seeing what they accomplished. What a cool thing!
