WELL REPRESENTED

The Muscogee County schools were well represented in this week's basketball poll. Two girls teams and four boys teams were ranked in the top 10.
Over the last two seasons, the Lady Cherokees have been the best team in the Bi-City. This year, they are still strong. Even with a 14-0 start, Kendrick will likely lose before the playoffs -- but only once.
Kendrick coach Sterling Hicks will have them ready for the playoffs and the Cherokees are likely headed for another trip to Macon.
The Lady Hawks are talented enough to make the trip to Macon with Kendrick. Their only two losses came to Kendrick. Sequoyah Griffin, Jessica Edwards and Kelly Ellison make up a talented trio that gives them a chance in every game.
On the boys side, Carver is the most talented team. With the Jarvis Jones and Jarmon Fortson the Tigers have two difficult matchups for opposing teams. The Tigers survived a scare -- 60-58 on Friday night against Jordan.
Jordan is the second-best team in Region 2-AAA and will make run in the playoffs. Jordan coach Gerald Turner has his team ready for every game. Depending on the draw, Jordan could play in Macon this season.
