Talk about your murderer's row of opponents...check out NewCath's schedule this week. I thought the Indians had it bad later this month into February with Jan 31 home vs Campbell Co., Feb 3 home vs CovCath and Feb 4 @Dixie...Wow!! At least we get two home games.

Amazingly again this week no Montgomery.

4 9th Region Teams; 0 8th Region Teams. Explains why 9th has been fun to watch this year and why the 8th is so open.

If Covcath is the 10th best team in the state, I'm Johnny Bravo.

Bowling green #15 ??? Did they lose to Holy Cross in Lloyd tournament ??

Really didn't take a close look at the rankings, but yes, we beat the Purples twice in the LMIT.

Nice to meet you Johnny!

GRC ranked #13 has wins over #7 Manual, #8 Southwestern and # 10 Covington Catholic. Lexington Catholic at #19 is way too low IMO.

Lex Cath too low and Rowan coming in at #25 is wwaaaayyyy to low.

These are computer rankings. Lex Cath lost to Lafayette, but the computer didn't know thier #2 and #3 scorers were both out and thier #1 guy got 35. This is why basketball is so great, in the end it will all be decided on the court.
