A new week is upon us, Holy Cross has another 9th Region All A Championship, SK beat Notre Dame up on the Hill, and Campbell County is clearly looking like the Top 4 team in the area we thought they'd be before the season.  The teams are really sorting themselves out, the "tiers" are clearly defining themselves, Coach Stamm's Lady 'Stangs continue their great start to the season (with a nice win over Highlands), and Ryle continues to play a terrific schedule to prepare them for the post-season.

I was a little shocked to see Walton Verona lose to Owen County in the 8th Region All A, so disappointed that we won't have three girls' teams make it to the State Tournament this year.  Brossart will face a solid Nicholas County team, assuming they beat Bracken County, so I like their chances at advancing out of the 10th.   With many of the tournaments around the state, both for the Holidays and the All A Tourneys, wrapping up, we will see more of our teams from the area playing each other -- which is always a lot of fun!  Notre Dame vs Frederick Douglass, Simon Kenton at Brossart, and Cooper at Ryle feel like the best games of the week, so get out and see some hoops!

1.  Simon Kenton (17-1 / 3-0 last week):  vs South Oldham, vs #9 Walton-Verona, and at #6 Bishop Brossart.

2.  Notre Dame (10-3 / 1-1):  at Seton (OH), and vs Frederick Douglass.

3.  Cooper (11-3 / 1-0):  at Scott and at #7 Ryle.

4.  Campbell County (9-2 / 3-0):  at Mason County and vs Scott.

5.  Holy Cross (12-2 / 3-0):  at Beechwood and at Conner (the Lady Cougars' gauntlet continues).

6.  Bishop Brossart (15-1 / 2-0):  at Bracken County and vs #1 Simon Kenton.

7.  Ryle (9-6 / 2-1):  vs #3 Cooper, and vs South Forsyth (GA) at Whitefield Academy.

8.  Highlands (9-3 / 2-1):  vs NewCath.

9.  Walton-Verona (10-4 / 2-1):  at Anderson County and at #1 Simon Kenton (tough week).

10. St. Henry (9-4 / 1-1):  at Ludlow and vs Dixie (a good seeding game for the 34th).
