Teams that made hay this weekend...
Grayson County (champions of the Meade County Tournament)
After losing earlier in the week to Meade County, the Cougars fired back with an impressive weekend performance in Brandenburg. They defeated Western Hills and Breckinridge County, but impressive wins over North Hardin, Reidland, Mercy, and Christian County catch my eye. A great run like that puts the Cougars in the running for a regional title once more.
Christian County (runners-up of the Meade County Tournament)
The Colonels were pretty good too in this early season tournament. Solid wins over North Hardin and Mercy count for a lot, and victories over Central Hardin and Henry County shouldn't be ignored either. Yes, there was a loss against Grayson County in the finals, but reaching the finals in an early season tournament such as this is no small achievement.
Greenwood (champions of the Warren East Invitational)
Try five wins by a combined score of 60-0. That's right, 60-0. We all know about the Gators' hitting prowess, but their pitching didn't allow a run in five games. Yes, the teams played weren't quite up to some other menus from this weekend, but they still romped in style and should be considered a frontrunner for state champion right now.
Ballard (champions of the Ballard Invitational)
Much like Greenwood, the Ballard Bruins stomped through the competition for five wins and a tournament championship. But unlike Greenwood, Ballard beat some real solid foes along the way, including Anderson County, Butler, and Manual in the tournament final.
And some teams that didn't...
North Hardin
The Trojans went 2-2, but ugly losses to Christian County and Grayson County by scores of 9-0 and 11-0, respectively, cast doubt on this 5th region power.
North Laurel
The Jaguars did not get to see Greenwood in the Warren East Invitational. Instead, they saw both Butler County and Warren East and lost to both of them.
Butler
Butler, as far as wins and losses go, is off to a horrible start this season. The Bears added three more losses to the total this weekend, albeit all of them coming to solid teams.
OK, new rankings will be out later today. Here's a look at three games to watch for Monday afternoon (with old rankings)...
Sacred Heart @ #8 North Hardin
#10 Grayson County @ #5 Christian County
#12 Butler @ Central Hardin

Scott County and Owensboro Catholic both played in the Riverdale Worth Invitational in Murfreesboro this past weekend. Scott County went 3-1 and OC went 4-1 with both teams being put out by eventual tournament champion Hueytown, AL. OC lost 5-1 and SC lost 4-2, both teams looked very tough but both ran up against a very good team.
