1. Whitley County (5-0 overall)
What else could you ask for?
The Lady Colonels had one heck of a week, defeating Corbin, North Laurel, and South Laurel while also capturing the Kentucky 2A, Section 7 championship.
They’ll be tested again this week with games against Knox Central and Corbin.
2. North Laurel (6-3)
The Lady Jaguars look to be the most-improved team in the region. They’ve got a win over Corbin, and lost a five-set heartbreaker against Whitley County.
3. Corbin (3-2)
The Lady Redhounds fell to Whitley County in the finals of the Kentucky 2A, Section 7 Tournament but did pick up an impressive 2-0 win over a much-improved Bell County squad. The Lady Redhounds are dangerous. They’ll improve as the season progresses.
4. South Laurel (1-2)
The Lady Cardinals were very close to beating Whitley County after jumping out to a two-set lead but just couldn’t seal the deal. They’ll continue to get better as the season progresses.
5. Bell County (6-1)
The Lady Bobcats are another team to keep an eye on. Gracie Jo Wilder makes them dangerous.
6. Knox Central (3-1)
Barb Gregory’s squad is once again solid, and will be a tough out once postseason play begins. The Lady Panthers have a big match this week against Knox Central.
7. Pineville (3-5)
