I agree that Ryle, St Henry, Boone, & Conner would appear to be the top 4 (9th Region), with Ryle strongest at 1-9 positions. Walton Verona would definitely be in top NKY teams.There are quite a few really good players and that do one or two things above average and are in the top tier on their respective teams. I could name quite a few that have had a good year or show potential to continue. However, based on their past performances the following list IMO are those multiple tool type "game changers" (some combination of hitting, defense, pitching, power, speed, etc). They would all be my initial candidates for potential Player of Year or top player picks in no certain order:
Jennalee Ginn -Walton, Madison Moran- HC , Mamie Salzer-St. Henry, Haley Smith-Ryle, Kaitlyn Halcomb-Conner, Rachel Johnson - Boone Cty, Bella Steinle- Ryle, B. Hollingsworth - HH.
(Possibly Garrett, Kring, Morgan, etc)
