So far ND hasn't lost to a NKY team, don't see how anyone can't rank them #1, but they haven't played them all yet. I think you can copy and re-print last year's Region 9 teams to this year. Don't see Conner or Boone making it.
#1 NCC #2 Highlands
#1 Ryle #2 Cooper
#1 St. Henry #2 Dixie
#1 ND #2 Beechwood
I think A.Bush out makes a world of difference for Ryle, and any matches with her not playing will give opponents a false positive. One player does make a difference. Would Cooper win big matches without Smith? Scott without Tapp?
