Seriously might be the best tournament through out the state. The 15th region is probably the worst top-bottom worst region in the state but top-bottom within the region. I believe 7 of the 8 teams could be a Rupp. (Pike Central is probably the ranked 8/8)so I believe they very well could knock off Pikeville in the first round but dont see them winning it all. However, the other 7 wouldnt surprise me one bit to see them at Rupp. I'm going to take Johnson Central to win the 15th.

The favorite has to be Johnson Central. However, you are right several teams could win it!

Prestonsburg is very athletic, (Williams, Jarrell & Frasier) but would have to play WAY over their heads to beat Johnson Central with their talent (Hall, Blair ect...).

Pikeville & Pike Co Central is an old rivalry from the 59th district days and for that reason could be a good game, but PCC would have to play GREAT to win over (Rowe, Kasongo & company).

The bottom bracket will be a dog fight! Betsy Layne & Sheldon Clark should be a good game, with guard play deciding the outcome.

Belfry & East Ridge being a game of guard play (Miller) vs big man (Messer) deciding this one.

If Johnson Central & Pikeville advance it will setup a great semi finals round no matter who advances in bottom bracket two games the teams will be evenly matched.

In the finals the winner between Johnson Central/Pikeville will be the favorite but at that point it only takes one good game to get you to Rupp.

Could be VERY interesting!!!
