Girls' Cincinnati Big-School Division

1. Lakota West (12-0) - Firebirds already own two big wins over No. 2 Mount Notre Dame and No. 3 Oak Hills and are clearly the top team at this point of the season. Could possibly run the table at 20-0 with only a couple of tough games remaining on the schedule.

2. Mount Notre Dame (10-2) - Cougars have rebounded from shaky 2-2 start with eight straight wins. Only losses to Lakota West and Kentucky powerhouse Lexington Catholic.

3. Oak Hills (9-2) Good wins over Colerain and Winton Woods. Two losses to No. 1 Lakota West and strong Princeton team.

4. Mercy (11-2) - Strong schedule with only losses to No. 2 Mount Notre Dame and Hughes who sports a record of 11-2.

5. Winton Woods (9-1) - Warriors only loss to No. 3 Oak Hills.

Girls' Cincinnati Small-School Division

1. Taft (9-3) - Senators have won six of last seven games, good win over Seven Hills.

2. CHCA (11-0) Unbeaten record but not an overly impressive schedule.

3. Badin (9-4) - Nine wins playing a tough schedule keep Badin in top 5 despite four losses.

4. Seven Hills (9-3) - Two losses to No. 2 CHCA by eight points both times and a 7-point loss to No. 1 Taft.

2. Holmes (11-1) - Only blemish on Bulldogs resume to date is a 49-44 loss to Louisville Male.

5. Newport Central Catholic (7-2) - Big win over Cincinnati small-school No. 1 North College Hill. Lopsided losses to Highlands and Boone County.

Northern Kentucky Girls

3. Notre Dame (6-4) - Pandas are playing a brutal schedule with decent results so far.

4. Simon Kenton (10-3) - Pioneers on a 4-game winning streak.
