I think the 1st Region will be very good next year!  There will be a few very strong Senior classes.  If you don’t mind I’d like to start with PTown Dad’s Way Too Early Top 10:

1. Marshall County - Matthew Langhi.  With apologies to Braxton Butnham - I am just going to stop there.

2. McCracken County - the losses of Woodfork and Klope are big, but this team just reloads.  Garrett Miller will hopefully have a healthy season and he can score.  Aaron Adams is a matchup problem.  Don’t forget about PG Jay Martin.

3. Tilghman - Avery Thompson averaged almost 20 ppg the last five games of the year.  Eli Dabney returns and he does a lot of damage around the rim.  Hopefully we will see Carruthers back

4. Graves Co. - they don’t really lose anything and they will get Raygon Mathis back from injury.  I’ve been hearing about this rising Senior class for awhile.

5. Carlisle Co - 6-10 Wyatt Rickard will once again be an all-region player.  The senior guards will be solid too.

6. Murray - Coach Doss did an outstanding job in his first year.  They’ll miss Maddox Mitchell a bunch but this team had a ton of depth this season. 

7. St. Mary - this team is definitely a wild card as their roster has changed some each summer.  Mayes will definitely be a top guard in the region.  Jack Griffith was on fire late in the season. 

8. Calloway Co. - Armstrong will definitely be a top first region player and he will have some shooting around him.

9.Mayfield - this team will always have athletes.

10 Ballard Mem. - they’ll miss Ike Miller but some good guards return.

What do you think about this Top 10?  And what topics are worth talking about for next year?

Ok - I’ve got a question.  Is there any chance Langhi would choose to go the Prep School route for his senior year?  I honestly don’t see it and don’t know his benefit to doing that.

But what do you think?

There are rumors but don't really see him leaving Marshall County.

What kind of offers are Langhi getting?

I also don't think he will either. I was told he thought about it but has since decided to stay. Hopefully with the exposure he gets in AAU will keep him home.

He has an official offer from Indiana State. Miami Ohio, EKU, and other mid majors have shown interest. Crazy that the local university has shown none that I know of.

I have to believe after year he'll be a higher level.

Agree and another summer of AAU. 

I can confirm that St. Mary has added 2 guards for next season.  I believe that both will be Seniors next year.  Jude Harmon is 6-3 and scored 21 ppg for Massac Co last season.   Silas Kreuter is 6-1 and scored 18 ppg for Vienna last season.

Combine those two with rising Sophomore Mayes, who may be the best PG in the 1st Region next year.  And don’t forget about Griffith, who went on a scoring tear late last season.  There are others too - Puckett, Nichols.  
 

I still think Langhi & Co are the clear favorites but the Vikings are in a group close behind.  

Bump.

Bump.

That should be a good fit.
