? ? | Two of Kentucky's leading teams will hit the hardwood tonight at Park Hills.

? The defending 9th Region champion Lady Jaguars (3-0) are ranked No. 3 in the state in this week's Massey Ratings. Last year's Region runner-up PaNDAs (3-0) are ranked No. 5.

❓️Who wins this early season tussle? What does each team need to do to win?

Due to a cancelled game at Sacred Heart, Cooper last played ten days ago, a 49-39 win at highly regarded Dublin Coffman (OH).

Notre Dame has had a week off since their 43-41 OT home win over District rival, No. 11 Holy Cross.

? This will be my first "look" at both teams. Expecting big things from Cooper's Haylee Noel and Addison Brissey, along with Notre Dame's Emma Holtzapfel and Sarah Young. 

⚖️ Notre Dame leads the series 11-8, but Cooper is now on a five game win streak. 

✅️ All are welcome to post updates and insights. I'll check in with quarterly and final scores as well. I believe this is a triple header. Varsity tip off is scheduled for 7:30.

Tremendous game between two evenly matched teams. Thank you ladies!

First year HC's Prohaska and Stoll will likely see each other again before season's end.

Lady Jags clawed back slowly bur surely in the final 24 minutes, but had to foul to stay in the game near the end. Bonus FTs kept Notre Dame afloat. PaNDAs' 19 point lead after the first just too much to overcome.

Player of the Game: Emma Holtzapfel, 20 1st quarter points including six 3s. ? 

? Up next ~

? NDA: Friday vs. Central at Bullitt East's Queen of the Commonwealth tournament.

? RKC: Friday vs. Hopkins County Central at the Queen of the Commonwealth.
