Updated rankings....

 

1. Simon Kenton (4-0) Big win over district rival Walton-Verona highlights the week. A curiously close game with Dixie Heights was cause for some concern but the Pioneers keep the top spot. Back to back 8th region foes this week before pre-christmas tournament play begins

 

2. South Oldham (1-3) Great win this week against Highlands moves the Dragons up one spot. The record isn't sparkling, but the competition level has been very difficult. One one game against Fern Creek before they begin play in their tournament.

 

3. Anderson County (3-0) The Lady Bearcats took care of business against a rebuilding Spencer County team on Saturday. Now they set their sights on a huge matchup with bitter rival Shelby County.

 

4. Shelby County (1-3) Another 1-3 team that looks dangerous. Nobody expected them to beat Butler or Rockcastle this week, but staying in the game with a Butler team expected to contend in the 6th says a lot. Wells continues to improve and the experienced guards are playing solid. Games with Dunbar and Anderson this week.

 

5. Walton-Verona (6-1) How close are 1-5 in the 8th? 6 points seperates 1 from 5 at this point. My biggest concern with Walton- They don't play enough good teams. A quick look at the schdules of the top teams and Walton is way behind in terms of quality of opponents. Games this week vs Henry and Dayton.

 

6. Owen County (4-0) Nice win at Carroll highlights the week. Much like Walton, Owens strength of schedule will continue to make ranking them within the region very difficult. Two games they should win against Gallatin and Henry this week.

 

7. Carroll County (3-2) Tough losses to Walton and Owen this week. Light week as Carroll gets ready for a busy Holiday season.

 

8. Oldham County (4-3) Two easy victories this past week. Oldham has a chance to make a statement this week vs top ranked Simon Kenton.

What a "nice" mess if you are a fan of the game and girls basketball !

 

You're right about WV. Can SK stay healthy and improve their team work? Which SO will show up? CC prowling around. SC rising? AC young and growing ! Owen ? Wow ! I will need a box of ROLAIDS to follow my team ! :confused:

I think this is a good list except I think that Shelby is too high. JMO but WV, CC and Owen are better teams than Shelby right now.

If you want one of the best tickets around this season, keep up with the girls' b-ball in the 8th this year. Lots of ups and downs, the region has a young and developing talent base, unpredictable plot lines and outcomes - yes, this may be the year of the fan! It has already been an exciting time, and it appears that there will be much more of the same week in and week out. Many:dancingpa possible and/or potential champs are dreaming the Diddle Arena dream and making plans to make it happen for their school. Stay tuned for further developments.
