I would say Graves comes in right behind PT & Murray in Region 1.
But honestly any of the three could win it. Barnard will be huge for Graves this year.

Creech has lead the state in scoring the past two years.. I think if there was anyone in this region better than her then maybe they could guard her... I mean, 34.4 ppg last season......
I could definitely see Lafayette making a run at the Sweet 16. One of the three most talented teams in the state this year IMO. Pankins will continue to get better; she and Givens were already almost unstoppable last year playing together at the wing spots.
I agree with Robins being at or near the top of this list but, I'm not sure about the rest...
Cotton is way better than 7th... Probably should be 1st or 2nd - averaged 23 points and 10 rebounds last season....
Junior Emma Young of East Jessamine should also be in there around 3-5... That's a terrible omission.
Henderson Co is going to be tough to beat. Don't see anyone knocking them off in the region. I saw Wallace, Owens, and Gilbert play this summer and they've all gotten quite a bit better.. Honestly could see them winning a game or two at state.
