District play tipped off last week and as expected, several of the area’s top programs traded wins back and forth.
Those results played a factor in some shake-ups when it came to this week’s 615 Preps girls large and small class basketball rankings.
Large Class teams include 4A, 3A, and Division II-AA. Small Class teams include 2A, 1A, and Division II-A.
Large Class
1. Clarksville (15-0): Beech gave the Lady Wildcats all they could handle, but behind 33 points from Imari Berry, Clarksville was able to hold on for the 67-65 win. Berry continued her hot streak with 21 points in a 66-28 win over Kirkwood.
2. Lebanon (12-5): It was a balanced night for the Devillettes, who started off hot and never let up en route to a dominant 68-31 home win over Green Hill.
3. Brentwood (13-1): Ella Ryan opened the week scoring 20 points in a 58-34 win over Independence. She followed that up with a 25-point, 14-rebound double-double in a 74-34 win over Franklin.
4. Father Ryan (15-2): Lipscomb Academy gave the Lady Irish their closest game up the week as Father Ryan held on for the 43-35 win. The Lady Irish opened the week with a 40-29 win over Brentwood Academy and closed it out with an impressive 46-28 win over Ensworth.
5. Ensworth (9-4): A 13-point win over Harpeth Hall and a nine-point win over Brentwood Academy were the highlights of the week for the Lady Tigers. They weren’t able to close out the week 3-0 though, losing to Father Ryan by 18.
