Time for High School Basketball

We've played about a month of the basketball season so far.  Louisville Ballard won the King of the Bluegrass Tournament, beating North Oldham 82-72 in the Final.  But MaxPreps has Male as the number one team in the Commonwealth.  Here's the latest top 20 from MaxPreps, as of December 27:

1.  Lou. Male:  7-1
2.  Ashland Blazer:  9-0
3.  Lou. Ballard:  6-1
4.  Oldham Co:  8-0
5.  Lex. Catholic:  8-0
6.  Lex. Douglass:  5-0
7.  Newport:  8-0
8.  Lou. Eastern:  5-1
9.  Lou. St. Xavier:  6-2
10.  Owensboro:  5-1
11.  Cov. Catholic:  3-2
12.  Ohio Co:  5-0
13.  Bourbon Co:  8-1
14.  N. Laurel:  7-0
15.  Webster Co:  9-0
16.  Collins:  6-1
17.  John Hardin:  9-0
18.  Warren Cent:  4-1
19.  Butler Co:  7-0
20.  Muhlenberg Co:  5-1

Personally, I will be very surprised if Webster County wins the Second Region, but they have already beaten Christian County and Hoptown this year.

Murray, at number 43, is the highest ranked team in the First Region.  Calloway County is number 51.  McCracken County is number 58.  Tilghman is number 67.  Those are the only First Region teams in the top 75.
