Thought I would provide a look at the 8th region after 1 week of action...

 

the updated 8 of 8.

 

1. Simon Kenton (2-0): Win(s)- Grant and George Rogers Clark. No Losses. Gotta love the win over GRC as they were either 1 or 2 in the 10th region coming into this season. Big game looming against Walton-Verona.

 

2. Anderson County (2-0): Win(s)- Lafayette and Ballard. No Losses. Nice start for a young lady bearcat team re-loading after the loss of so many quality players the last two years. Relatively light week with only a district game vs Spencer on saturday.

 

3. South Oldham (0-2): Win(s)- None Losses: CAL and Shelby County. Not off to an ideal start but a very respectable game against one of the states top teams to open the year. A stumble in Shelby drops them from the top spot in my rankings, but look for them to bounce back soon. Big out of region matchup with Highlands highlights the coming week.

 

4. Walton-Verona (4-0): Win(s)- Conner, Holy Cross, Dixie Heights, Gallatin. No Losses. Busy week for the lady bearcats. Great start although questions about the competition level are present. Big game against Carroll at Carroll this week.

 

5. Owen County (2-0): Win(s)- Grant and Williamstown. No Losses. A good start to the year but the question still has to remain, how does Owen stack up against some better competition? Games will Carroll and Trimble this week.

 

6. Shelby County (1-1): Win(s)- South Oldham. Loss- Carroll County. What a week for the Lady Rockets. A disapointing loss to Carroll County followed by an inspired win over the preseason pick to win the regoin. The jury is still out on a very interesting Shelby County team. Huge out of region games with Butler and Rockcastle this week.

 

7. Carroll County (2-0): Win(s)- Shelby and Trimble. No losses. Not sure what to think about Carroll just yet. Nice win over Shelby to open the year. Probably should have them a little higher but they'll have a chance this week with games against Walton and Owen.

 

8. Oldham County (2-2): Win(s)- Western Hills and Taylor County. Losses- Edmonson and Dunbar. A lot of action in the first week for the Lady Colonels. Non competitive in two losses drops them a little. Another busy week with 3 more games on the schedule

Good Post. Can't argue with what u have so far.

Looks really interesting. This week should tell us a lot.

obviously rankings are just my opinion. I felt Simon was a clear number one at this point, after that I really had to think about some of the other teams. Expect this to shuffle on a weekly basis.

The wins over Conner and Holy cross are big. They are both supposed to be good teams in the 9th region. Although SK is on top until someone in the 8th beats them, I think everyone in the 8th region is going to have a tough time beating Walton. It looks like Walton will not have any problem winning the 8th region All A.

You are probably right! WV has a lot of weapons.

I think Owen may have something to say about that.....althought I really like Walton. I think their game with Simon Kenton coming up is just HUGE for them.

Sounds like a strong team,

 

I haven't seen WV play yet this year what are their biggest strengths and possible weaknesses.

Great update. I think the 8th is going to be fun to watch.

Not a bad start, magicfan...

 

I'm interested to see what Oldham does once Lape is in the lineup full-time.

 

I actually wrote the 8th region preview for the BGP...but they still haven't posted the girls' previews yet... That'll provide a source of amusement for all, I'm sure, when it finally gets posted.

 

(when you're prepared to laugh at it, remember that I had to write in way back in October...) :lol:

wasn't aware Lape was out. Certainly think Oldham has the chance to be a factor before the year is out as well. Im sure adjusting to yet another coach is hard.
