I was very close to putting Hazard at 2 and Perry Central at 3 but didn't. I put Estill in front of Lee even tho Lee has the better record, Estill is 4-0 in district including a win over Lee at Lee

 

 

 

Anyone agree/disagree?

I would say Cordia has probably moved up to 3rd or 4th, with the new additions to their team. If they get the 6'7 kid eligible they may move even higher.

Thanks for any and all information 14th region related. Is the Couch kid that plays for Leslie County related to Tim, what class is he in?

not sure about the relation to Tim Couch but he's a Senior

Cordia is now in the top 3. Owootoah might be the best player in the region - he's certainly the top guard. Matt Thompson of Hazard suffered a wrist injury against Cordia. Not sure what his status is.

 

If Cordia gets their 6'7" kid eligible this week, they might be the favorites.

 

By the way, I could care less who wins. I'm only talking as a neutral observer.

I'll ask around and get the status of both Hollon and Thompson from Hazard. I don't care who wins region just as long as they make a good showing at the state tournament.
