Looks pretty good. I am not sure Morgan should be that high, but close. I don't think Russell has played much of a schedule compared to other top teams so maybe they should be a little lower., but all in all it is pretty good.

East hasn't really beaten any provens and they lost to Ashland and Rowan by a combined 45...they may need to be a little lower, especially with the loss of Sargent. Morgan's recent loss to Elliott has to bring them down a bit as well. Gotta love the way Elliott plays...what a scrappy bunch of girls!!!

East has played a lot of quality teams in the Lex. Cath Tourney, and the Queen of the Bluegrass. They do lack a real quality win, but are better than the teams below them with or without Sargent. Anyone can run up a big record playing cupcake city all year!

Looks pretty good. I am not sure Morgan should be that high, but close. I don't think Russell has played much of a schedule compared to other top teams so maybe they should be a little lower., but all in all it is pretty good.

Overall Record of Teams Beaten: 39 - 46, .460

Based on the info I have provided here is how I rank the Top 7:

 

1. Rowan Co. - 2nd best winning percentage of teams played (.560) behind Russell and East (.570) and BEST winning percentage of teams beaten (.530). I just think they are a little better than everyone else and have played the toughest schedule.

 

2. Ashland - #4 in overall winning percentage of teams played (.530) behind the 3 mentioned above and tied with Elliott for 3rd highest winning percentage (.460) of teams beaten behind Rowan (.530) & Russell (.480). However, they own wins over Russell & East so I place them at #2.

 

3. Russell - Tied with East for best overall winning percentage of teams played (.570) & 2nd behind Rowan in overall winning percentage of teams beaten (.480) but suffered a tough loss at home to Ashland so I have them at a solid #3 right now.

 

4. East Carter - Nipping at Russell's heels at this point in the season for #3 spot but just a little below due to overall winning percentage of teams beaten (.410) and still recovering from loss of Sargent. Also, lost big to Ashland (21 points) compared to Russell's 6 point loss. Obviously able to make a move up the ladder as the season goes on but settling in at #4 right now.

 

5. Elliott Co. - This team scraps the entire 32 mins and they have no conscience about shooting from anywhere on the court. Fun team to watch and their style makes them dangerous in any game. A little better overall winning percentage of the teams they have beaten but East beat them by 4 at Elliott so I have them settling solidly into the #5 spot.

 

6. Morgan Co. - In my opinion they are the most overrated of the Top 7 in this thread based on their schedule and they have been beaten by East & Elliott in head to head competition. Yes, I know they beat Elliott but Elliott beat them this week so based on the most recent game I have to place them below Elliott.

 

7. Raceland - The biggest unknown of the Top 7 with probably the biggest upside due to them never being 100% healthy so far this season. When Keeton gets back to full strength and Clark returns from her injury, don't be surprised to see them challenge the teams above them. However, at this time based on head to head performances against all the teams above them except Ashland & East and their best quality win coming against Menifee Co this is where they fall right now.

 

Well, that's how I see it right now with, in my opinion, the only 7 teams with any chance of winning the region. Rowan & Ashland are the clear frontrunners but any of the other 5 are capable on a given night. I did my best to use the #'s to rank my teams with a little help from head to head competition. I don't expect everyone to totally agree and the bottom line is, like all polls, this is just one man's opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. All games are won & lost on the court.

 

Enjoy!!!

Good analysis - at this point the numbers really don't lie. Also I like the way you looked at strength of schedule to make your selections. I agree that Rowan is still the front runner in the 16th. Too bad Rowan and Ashland don't play in the regular season - I think it would be a heck of a game!

WOW-------------Youcetainly put several hours into this. You should be paid to be a 16th region analyst. I`m not sure ESPN comes up with this much detail. NICE JOB 85

Too bad Rowan and Ashland don't play in the regular season - I think it would be a heck of a game!

 

Yes, it would. I think Ashland's convincing loss tonight to Mason County is a good barometer, although I'm hearing that Ashland may have been without a key player. Rowan defeated Mason just a couple of weeks ago.
