Saturday I observed the Raatz Fence/O'Shea's Girls Classic at Mercy Academy in Louisville, KY. Inclement weather reduced the schedule from 11 games over two days to 6 games over two days. Below were the top players based on college potential.

A shout out to Mercy coach Keith Baisch and his staff for managing to get as many games in as possible this weekend.  Inclement weather conditions and school travel policies pared the schedule from eleven games to six games but there were quality teams and outstanding players present.  A special thanks to Bob Tonini of Sacred Heart Academy for sending out timely updates on the schedule changes and for providing the comprehensive statistics for all the games.
