Congratulations to Letcher Central as they defended the JV championship they won last year.  Letcher Central featured balanced scoring with several players capable of stepping up to lead the team.

Several other teams in competition this week had girls capable of logging quality varsity minutes this season.  I was impressed with the talent and depth on these teams and am looking forward to seeing some of these girls play over the next few seasons.  Coaches do a great job at this level of not only playing to win but more importantly teaching the fundamentals and developing players skills for the future.
