6th Region: Week 8

It was a lighter week as some games Friday and almost all games Saturday were scrubbed due to weather. It has become clear that Jeffersontown tops a group of 4 teams at the top who can be considered the contenders for this region. The next 3 or 4 remain competitive but beyond that it is hard to imagine anyone else causing a whole lot of fuss down the stretch.

Rankings

1. Jeffersontown - JTown had the week off. They have a busy week scheduled with Highlands Latin, Whitefield Academy, Manual and Caverna.

2. Butler - The Bears defeated Male, Western and DeSales. WEB DuBois and Madison Central are on this week's schedule and both present intriguing challenges.

3. WEB DuBois - The Lions fell to the Atherton Ravens but got a bounce back blowout win over Fern Creek. They face Whitefield Academy and Butler this week. That Butler game should be very competitive and a DuBois win may signal their ability to make a run at the regional title.

4. Evangel Christian - The Eagles defeated Fern Creek before heading down to the All A State Tournament where they got bounced early by Clinton County. They face Moore this week.

5. Pleasure Ridge Park - The Panthers defeated LKY (homeschool) but fell to Fairdale. They face Doss, Waggener, and North Hardin this week.

6. DeSales - The Colts picked up wins over the Columbus Hawks (homeschool) and Shelby County before falling by 8 to Butler. They host Cooper out of the 9th region Wednesday and play Holy Cross on Friday.

7. Fairdale - The Bulldogs got two remarkable wins for two different reasons. First, they had a 41 point blowout victory over Western. Next, they defeated PRP by 9 in what is possibly their best win of the season so far. They face Newcomer Academy, Bullitt East, and Owensboro Knights Christian (homeschool) this week.

8. Moore - The Mustangs fell by over 50 points to Manual on the road but got the four point win over Bullitt Central. They had started the week off with a blowout win of their own over Shawnee.
