A big Tuesday night for Melissa Johnson's Platte-Geddes team as they defeated a good Wagner team 3-2 to remain undefeated. And yet, you look at the standings and those Black Panthers have some company. 

1	Platte-Geddes	6	0	1.000
2	Avon	5	1	.833
2	Gregory	6	0	1.000
4	Tripp-Delmont/Armour	3	1	.750
5	Kimball/White Lake	2	1	.667
6	Burke	2	2	.500
7	Wessington Springs	4	2	.667
8	Colome	2	5	.286
9	Corsica-Stickney	2	6	.250

2. Avon is 5-1 on the season with their only loss coming to Platte-Geddes. A 3-0 sweep of No. 4 TDA suggests Avon is the real deal. 

3. Teresa Webster's girls are 6-0 and coming off a SHIP at the Gregory Invitational. The girls have a stiff test, at Wagner on Thursday before playing 4-2 Wessington Springs on Saturday. 

4. TDA was undefeated heading into Tuesday's matchup with Avon. The TDA girls have a stiff home test vs. KWL on Thursday

5. Kimball/White Lake: Coach Deffenbaugh's squad lost their season opener to Gregory (3-1). Since then they beat Ethan 3-2 and looked extremely impressive in a 3-0 sweep of Burke. Girls haven't played since that Thursday test against TDA and then a couple of real tests next week against undefeated Winner and MVP. 

6. Burke: Not often you see Billie Jo Indahl's Burke team in 6th place but it is early and the Cougars are breaking in some young players. The Cougars lost 3-2 to Class A ranked Winner and then got thumped (3-0) by KWL.

7. Wessington Springs is 4-2 on the season. Only losses to Avon and Bridgewater/Emery, teams that have a combined 10-1 record. Big test @ Gregory on Thursday.

8. While Colome might be just 2-5 Kathy Hrabanek's squad looked great in a 3-0 sweep of Lyman on Tuesday.

9. Corscia/Stickney has some work to do but the girls won two-of-three matches in the last week.
