Region 1

 

1. Calloway County ... regional runner-up last season and returns most everyone, including top hitters and top pitcher

2. Heath ... has lost a lot of talent the past two seasons, but still returns a solid nucleus

 

After that, it's a tossup. Murray, Lone Oak, Graves County and Marshall County will be in the mix.

3rd Region, it has to be Owensboro Catholic. Everyone else is behind them a ways.

15th

1. Pikeville

2. Johnson Central

3. Paintsville

 

Order can and will change back and forth throughout the year, with a couple of other teams possibly cracking the top 3.

It's toss up in the 10th Region with some VERY good teams:

 

Harrison Co.

Scott

Brossart

Campbell Co.

 

IMO, Scott (with the caliber of players that are coming up in 06' and 07' will win the 10th Region and make it to the State Tourney. Just look at the 04' Eagles winning the 9th Region Frosh Tourney, and the 05' Eagles losing 2-1 in 10 innings to CovCath in JV Championship in the 9th Region JV Tourney. Also looking at Scotts 05' varsity team making the 9th Region Tourney losing to the CovCath. Scott will be really good the next couple of years.

I would put Campbell #1, with Harrison second. Also watch out for the Wildcats from Falmouth. They defintetly showed signs of being a contender in the postseason last year. I went down to Clark County for the Harrison-Pendleton game, and if it wasn't for James Custard, the Cats would have pulled off the upset. PC doesn't deserve to be in the top 4 yet, but don't be suprised if they are by season's end.

11th

Too many good teams to limit it to three.

So I have to go with a top 5

 

1. Lex. Christian

2. Henry Clay

3. Lex. Catholic

4. Lafayette

5. Tates Creek

 

Notice that atleast two of those teams won't even make it to regions

Greenup is not the 2nd best team in the 16th if you really and honestly believe that you are insane.

Greenup Co. is probably not even the Favorite in the 63rd District. They are a good team, with a chance to make some noise and they had a great run to the 16th Region Finals last season , but they themselves would probably tell you they aren't #2!!

If Greenup isn't the favorite in the 63rd then who is? I don't think there will be that good of teams in the 16th this year. But at the top of the list would probably be Boyd, Greenup, East Carter, and Ashland. Greenup returns a good nucleus of players off last years team and has maybe the best coach in the 16th region, so I look for them to have a pretty good team this season.
