Marion County, No. 2 last week, supplanted No. 1 Manual atop Dave Cantrall’s ratings by beating the Crimsons Saturday night. Manual was undefeated before losing consecutive games to Mercy and Marion County.

 

TOP 25

 

Marion County (14-2)

Manual (15-2)

Mercy (13-3)

Monroe County (16-2)

Perry Central (16-0)

Boone County (15-1)

South Oldham (13-3)

Anderson County (14-4)

Notre Dame (12-2)

Clay County (16-2)

Elizabethtown (12-2)

Ryle (15-2)

Newport Central Catholic (11-3)

Butler (11-6)

Lexington Catholic (12-5)

Walton-Verona (13-4)

Paul Dunbar (16-4)

Sacred Heart (10-7)

Henderson County (14-2)

Lincoln County (12-6)

Bowling Green (12-3)

I question Cantrall's knowledge of basketball. Maybe his Top 3 are on but some of the others look way off.

NKY represented well.

Can't you stretch that to top 9?

Good one paNDA.

I can stretch it to his Top 6. After that it's way off.

The top 6 are a tier above everyone else. The rest are a crapshoot.

Cantrall is not sitting there picking his favorites. A formula is used to rank teams with Cantrall and the LIT. The teams that you think should be ranked higher most likely lost to someone they should not have lost to, and probably by a wide margin. The rankings are computer generated, don't make it personal. Just good conversation. The only thing that matters is getting to region and winning region.
