Continue ReadingIt was an up and down season in Region 5. Flasher looked to be the top team in this region for most of the season. The Bulldogs spent the majority of the year in the Top 10 Rankings. The star senior for Flasher was injured later in the year with a knee injury. Shortly after that, another star senior from Shiloh Christian hurt their knee. Wilton Wing ended up heading into the Region Tournament as the #1 seed. Like most years, Shiloh still ended up winning the Region 5 Tournament. It was sad to see two seniors get hurt late in the year like that. They did however come back from injury and finish the season. Shiloh lost in the first round of State but they bounced back by winning two games and taking home 5th place. Region 5 was full of excellent individual talent. In this article, we are looking at PHD’s version of the All-Region Team.
