Well, without question, the toughest opponent last week was Mother Nature.  Most people got very few games in last week, with the exception of our top team who went 4-0 and dodged winter's wrath.  The game of the week was the overtime thriller on the hill, with Notre Dame knocking off Holy Cross, in a game that I'm sure had both teams leaving wondering "what if".  We should all ink in the fact that the rematch in the District Tournament will be amazing!  

The most surprising outcome last week was Lloyd knocking off Scott, so again, big congrats to Coach Fish and the Juggs!

We have a slew of great games this week, and of course, the annual tradition of Holiday tournaments scattered all over the state.  If Mother Nature cooperates this week, and it looks like she will, we should learn a great deal about everyone over the next 7 days!  Get out into some warm gyms and support these hard-working young ladies!!  Here we go....

Sorry I did it see this earlier in the day. Hope you were able to catch some of the game on radio. Thanks!

I sure did, was a great radio broadcast!

Not so great of a Birds performance.

Thanks for listening. Highlands will always play hard they are so well coached. Losing Orme with the injury in the preseason was a tough blow for them. Best of luck to the Birds rest of the season. 

Girls' game of the night, tonight, is Campbell County at Ryle.  Not sure if it is accurate or not, I don't have confirmation, but I heard from a Ryle parent that Izzy Jayasuriya, for the Camels, will miss tonight's game.  Huge factor for the Camels, if accurate.  Obviously, I hope it isn't.

Regardless, #7 at #5 is a good way to spend a Tuesday.

Gallatin County is top 10 no doubt!

Based on which game?  The loss to a team that Ryle beat by 40?  Not sure I've seen it thus far, but we will keep an eye out.  

@The Double Deuce, I gathered that the scope of your NKY rankings was limited to Districts 32-37. Is that correct?

Typically, yes, but we have included Pendleton County when they were deserved (and probably should be this year).  But yes, traditionally our NKY Top 10 was 32-37.

Love the enthusiasm, fan-tastic!

Several good games around the area tonight, but none bigger than #3 Cooper visiting #2 Notre Dame on the hill!  Really looking forward to that one -- two new coaching staffs, facing an early-season stiff test.  Can't wait!

Well, we had NDA over Cooper correctly, and NewCath over Conner correctly.  Good start to the year!

Campbell County, I presume still without Izzy, travels to Simon Kenton tonight for the game of the night in NKY Girls' Hoops.
