[Cat Scratch Fever]

The bottom half of this ranking shows just how weak the 16th region has become. Once you get past Ashland, Rowan and East there is a tremendous drop in quality of play. I hope that the "feeder" systems for the high school teams will provide the girls with quality coaching so we can get back to the days of several years ago when night in and out we saw great girls basketball. I have watched many of the Kittens games this year and some of the girls on opposing teams could not even dribble with their left hand or make a simple outlet pass. I love my girls doing great, winning and contending for the region title but if the region does not become stronger then it will be difficult to get them ready for the stronger teams outside of the region. A shiny won-loss record means nothing if you go to state and get blown out. And we have seen that happen to our region champ in the past.
