It’s no secret that Clay County has an historic group of girls and I know North is not as talented as normal (still pretty good) but to see the district championship never be a game was kind of surprising. The Lady Tigers honestly should’ve won 3 region championships in a row (2016 up in the finals, upset in 2017) so I definitely see where you’re coming from. I don’t think there is a complete changing of the guard. North will likely shift back to the top next year; I’m not as familiar with South.

I actually think South will be the early favorite, especially if Jervis can get back to pitching, they only lose two fringe players. North loses Gregory and Riley, but like I said a really good middle school class coming. Be interesting to see how far Clay drops, even though they lose their core group, they do return several solid players, but not sure what kind of pitching they will have.
