After two weeks will still sit with a similar group of girls leading the way. We could be looking at Class 4A, Class 3A, and Class 2A title winners with Spring-Ford, Archbishop Wood, and St. Basil. Even the Class A schools like Jenkintown, PhilMont Christian, and Faith Christian are proving to be no slouches.

It was a tough decision, but Souderton and Abington have fallen out of my Top 10 and into the Others to Watch. Both teams could be back in the rankings next year, but Lansdale Catholic and Upper Dublin have done enough to earn those spots.

First year head coach Amy Kradzinski has here Crusaders rolling right now. Taylor Herd has proven to be a dynamic scorer and the roster is deep and the roster is young. Look out this year, but next year they could possibly challenge for a District 12 championship.

I have to apologize for the credit I did not give the Flying Cardinals, last year's 3-seed in districts. I thought they lost too much talent to graduation, but the tandem of Regan Gallagher and Kayla McAneneny has the group right back in the mix.
