The 8th region continues to get better and better. It should be even more competitive next year with many talented players returning. Walton-Verona loses only one senior this year and runner-up Anderson County returns everyone, along with Collins. 8th Region player of the year Rianna Gayheart returns next year for her senior season at Owen County. South Oldham only had one senior this year and should be very good next year. Hannah Devine, who averaged 25.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game last year for Carroll County, will be a senior next year. It should be an exciting season next year in the 8th region.
