Timeout girls basketball: Post-Tribune Top 10

P-T GIRLS top 10

1. Merrillville

Assuming the Pirates won Thursday night, it’s another outright Duneland Conference title.

2. Michigan City

The Wolves succeeded in spoiling Merrillville’s perfect season, but can they win another sectional?

3. West Side

Not a good draw for the Cougars, who face battle-tested Lake Central right off the bat.

4. Bishop Noll

The Warriors have a good shot at a long postseason run, as long as they can beat Whiting a third time.

5. Lowell

That’s two straight NCC titles for the Red Devils, but can they manage to win a sectional title?

6. Lake Central

LC coach Marc Urban is worried about West Side, but the feeling is likely mutual from the Cougars.

7. Kankakee Valley

The Kougars have a pretty good shot at winning their first sectional title since 2005.

8. Boone Grove

Free-throw shooting be darned, the Wolves keep winning games and keeping the PCC Kup.

9. Whiting

You know what they say: It’s hard to beat a team three times in a season, and Whiting hopes that’s true for Noll.

10. Hobart

At least the Brickies got a nice draw for the first round in the toughest sectional in the region.
