Powell is under-rated. They should be top 5. Maybe top 3. Estill is also a top ten team.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. My opinion is that Owsley does not have the talent returning to compete with the other teams in the district.

Isn't it amazing how tickled we are that gas prices are now at around $3.00 per gallon. My-oh-my how things change.

Owsley could be decent, but they graduated more talent than any team in the district last year (and struggled). I just think with their returning talent and high quality coaching the district winner will be between Estill and Powell with Lee as a potential darkhorse. Owsley is a longshot.

Letcher will be the most improved team in the 14th region this year. They may be the most talented team, but must get their young kids experience. They will likely challenge for the title in the 14th by seasons end.

Lee County returns two of the top five players in the 56th district with Brook Bowling and Montana Hobbs. This duo should make Lee a contender in the 56th and also the 14th region All 'A' Classic. Powell will likely be the favorite in the 56th with Lee and Estill challenging them for the top spot. This team very well could be the best team in the 56th by the end of the year.

I know a lot of people criticized Mike Martz and the Sr. Bowl experiment, but Woodson just had a lot of flaws. He had a slow deliver and messed up mechanics. While I will always be greatful to him for what he acheived at UK and hope he is picked up by another team, I truly question his ability to ever play in the NFL.

There is also rumors that Anderson will be cut if he does not take a pay cut. My only concern is that the Bengals should use this money to better the team (re-sign current players or sign new ones) rather than Mike Brown just fattening his wallet.

Owsley will probably struggle this year. They lost their best player in Kendra Combs and another 3 year starter in Corina Thacker. They will play hard, but they can't beat Estill and Powell. I look for Powell to dominate the 56th and possibly win the region.

This years Hazard team could be the best 14th region team since the Hazard team lost in the infamous PRP state semi-final game in 1985. It would be a shame if a player truly felt that a few more shots were more important than a potential top 5 team in the state.

Powell is the best team in the 56th and should be one of the top 2-3 teams in the region. They are loaded this year and the 14th is down.

Perry is always good. They have a great feeder system and one of the top coaches in the state. They may be down a little this year, but overall the 14th is down. They will be in the hunt once again.

Professor, I think you would be surprised at the number of schools in the mountains that would support class basketball. Coaches and school systems want to win. Many mountain schools could compete year-in year-out for state titles if they did not have to go head-to-head with the schools from Lexington and Louisville. --- My biggest problem today is... why are we classed in all sports except basketball and baseball. We should either class them all, or none.

If Hartline wins the starting QB battle, Pulley must be on the field somewhere. He is too talented to sit on the bench as a back-up QB when he could be one of our top WR's or DB's.

It is very hard to discount, but...... Collinsworth only had 13 receptions that entire year. --- If going to the Super Bowl is your argument, Tim Mcgee, Eddie Brown and Boomer would have to be the trio.
