Anyone agree, disagree? Professor?

I agree that Hazard is probably #1 in the region. They're a talented team wth size and depth. The 6'5 Hudson, who transferred from Cordia, has really helped the Bulldogs.

It's sad that they don't play Perry Central during the season but I suppose both sides have their reasons. I was told by a person from one of the schools that would be in a position to know that they may resume scheduling next year.

 

The 56th district, which I assume we both reside, is as about as even as I've seen it in many years. I don't know much about Estill County but hear they have a good team. The Engineers may have a slight advantage when we get to March due to the district tournament being held at their school.

 

I think Breathitt is still a top 5 team in the region. Once we get past the 14th region's top 4 or 5, I don't think any other teams are in the mix to win the region. The rest are all playing for district titles and a trip to the region. That's about as good as it's going to get for them.

The Hazard win over Breathitt County seemed impressive from this outsider's perspective.

That was a very impressive win. I was surprised by the outcome, thought it would have been much much closer. I do feel that once Breathitt get's all their players back from football injuries they will be fine, their injuries are more like tiredness but I believe they will be good to go shortly.

I don't think Hazard has all their players either. Olinger was one of their top players as a sophomore but decided to not play last year. Now he's a senior and just getting through the football season. When he gets back into basketball mode the Bulldogs will be even better.

 

They beat us (Owsley) badly in the opening game of the season, and we have to play them again in the near future, and then again in January in the All A. Whew!!!

 

It's going to take a great effort IMO to keep them winning the region. I think Knott and Perry are the only two with a shot at doing it.

The player Breathitt needs in a huge way is the big Fraley kid. But he quit the team. That forces Chaney to have to play center and he's not as effective as Fraley.

Yep. Unless something changes Fraley won't be on the Breathitt team.

Good job.
