Knott County Central will be king of the 14th region until they are beaten and 2013/14 shouldn’t be no different.

The Lions defeated Breathitt County 52-42 in the first round of the regional tournament before losing to Perry County Central 59-57 in the semi-finals. Cordia had the chance to tie it and send it to overtime but Cordia’s put back attempt at the buzzer came off the rim.

 

Key Losses: Marlon King (12.9 PPG), Dondre Warren (11.8 PPG), Emmanuel Owootah (15.7 PPG)

Key Returnees: AJ Chisolm (5.6 PPG), Anthony Tagaola (14.6 PPG).

The Engineers should be competitive again in 2013/14 and contend for another district championship with everyone that they return.

Powell County (9-20): After upsetting Owsley County in the first round of the district tournament last season, the Pirates went on to lose the district championship to Estill County (on a last second shot) then went on to the regional tournament where they faced off against Perry County Central in the first round. Perry County Central would go on to win that game 81-65.

 

The Pirates are hoping for a better 2013/14 season then they had in 2012/13 and hoping they can get back to the regional tournament.

 

Key Losses: Trey Marcum (17.7 PPG, 38% from 3), Kyle Lacy (7.5 PPG), Aaron Townsend (5.2 PPG), John Hubbard (6.5 PPG).

 

Key Returnees: Brett Godwin (14.4 PPG, 6.2 RPG), Caleb McCoy (6.9 PPG), Austin Mullins (4.9 PPG).

 

 

Breathitt County (17-13): The Bobcats won their third consecutive district championship last season to advance to the regional tournament where they faced Cordia in the first round. That game didn’t go as well as Breathitt County was hoping for as the Bobcats fell to the Cordia Lions 52-42.

 

With the talent Breathitt County lost due to graduation last season and a new head coach, the Bobcats are hoping they have enough to get back to the regional tournament. Senior Wes Noble will be the guy that leads this Breathitt team.

 

Key Losses: Trevor Hays, Ryan Cox, Alex Hamilton, Dillion Chaney

 

Key Returnees: Wes Noble

Wolfe County (16-14): The Wolves lost the 55th district championship for the third consecutive year but advanced to the regional tournament, where they faced off against Estill County, a team that Wolfe County had defeated 56-44 earlier in the year, however this would not be the case as Estill County would defeat Wolfe County 52-42 to advance to the semi-finals of the regional tournament.

 

Wolfe County returns nearly their entire team, only losing Brett Denniston, who graduated and John Toomer who transferred to Perry County Central. This year’s Wolfe County team will be pretty solid.

 

Key Losses: Brett Denniston (0.6 PPG), John Toomer (9.4 PPG) (Transferred to Perry County Central)

Key Returnees: Corey Conway (9.8 PPG), Garrett Dunn (7.0 PPG), Jeffrey Terrill (11.7 PPG, 7.3 RPG), Bradley Lawson (13.3 PPG), Marshall Willoughby (5.8 PPG, 4.3 RPG)

Leslie County (11-19): Leslie County defeated Buckhorn in the first round of the 54th district tournament to advance to the district championship and to the regional tournament. Leslie County would face Perry County Central for the 54th district championship where they would lose to the Commodores 63-44. Leslie County would go on to the regional tournament to face Knott County Central in the first round, that game didn’t bold well for the Eagles neither as Knott County Central would roll past Leslie County 71-37.

 

Leslie County lost a lot of talent from last year’s team without much returning, should be a long, tough year for the Eagles.

 

Key Losses: Blake Bray (5.6 PPG), Austin Sizemore (11.8 PPG), Arlin Couch (15.4 PPG)

 

Key Returnees: Blake Asher (8.5 PPG), Josh Bray (3.7 PPG), Trystan Collect (5.4 PPG)

Hazard (23-6): The Bulldogs lost to Perry County Central 50-42 in the first round of the 54th district tournament, ending their season without a regional tourney appearance.

 

With most of Hazard’s top players returning and the 54th district tournament going back to seeding, instead of the blind draw, Hazard should find themselves back in the regional tourney.

 

Key Losses: Jordan Olinger (7.9 PPG), 7.3 RPG), Jarrod Combs (3.2 PPG), Tyler Triplett (4.1 PPG, 2.4 RPG), Evan Whitaker (9.0 PPG, 4.3 RPG)

Buckhorn (15-15): Buckhorn saw it’s season come to an end last year with a 50-49 loss to Leslie County in the first round of the district tourney.

 

Much like Hazard, with most of Buckhorn’s talent returning, the Wildcats should have a better season than last year and could potentially upset either Perry Central or Hazard to sneak into the regional tournament.

Letcher County Central (16-12): The Cougars failed to make it to the regional tournament last year, at their own home place. Letcher County Central’s season came to an end in the first round of the district tournament to Cordia 73-43 (@ Knott County Central).

 

Letcher County Central lost several key players from last year’s team that will be missed. Letcher County Central will be lead by seniors Chippy Frazier and Josh Owens, the rest of Letcher County Central’s team will be young and inexpierenced.

 

Key Losses: Cody Gregory (14th region player of the year in 2012/13), Sam Robinson (transferred to OBI due to dad getting the principal job), Dylan Kincer (quitting basketball to focus on baseball)

Owsley County (12-17): Owsley County saw their season come to an end last year in the first round of the 56th district tournament to Powell County 72-69. Owsley County had defeated the Pirates twice earlier in the year and had the one seed going into the district tournament due to a 3-way draw between Estill County, Lee County and Owsley County.

 

Owsley County did lose their big man in Izaiah Allan who averaged 16.9 points per game and 13.4 rebounds per game last season but the Owls return the majority of their team that should make for a better season in 2013/14 and contend for a district championship and a regional appearance.

 

Key Returnees: Joey Grove (13.4 PPG, 6.6 RPG), Noah Shelby (14.9 PPG), Bradon Mason (3.7 PPG), Cody Hall (7.3 PPG), Bill Hall (3.1 PPG), Adam Holmes (2.3 PPG, 4.5 RPG)

Lee County (14-10): Lee County saw their season come to an end last year in the first round of the district tournament to Estill County 51-49.

 

With a new head coach and a team that lost the majority of it’s scoring from a year ago, Lee County will be in rebuilding mode in 2013/14.

 

Key Losses: Tyler Evans (20.5 PPG, 6.2 RPG), Blake Gabbard (11 PPG), Clint Cox (10.5 PPG), James Gilbert (5.9 PPG), Brant Cornelius (6.4 PPG), Chris Stamper (1.5 PPG), TJ Traylor.

^ These are the Regions I am most interested in following this year.

^ I'm anxious to see how Cordia does.

The region is really about four teams and two districts, Knott Central and Cordia from the 53rd and Perry Central and Hazard from the 54th. I don't see any other teams being a factor in winning the region, although several other teams should be good (Leslie County, Breathitt County, Estill County, Owsley County, and a young Buckhorn come to mind), just not good enough to being a factor in title possibilities. Actually, there's a huge gap between those upper four and the rest of the region.

I think the top four are: 1. Knott Central 2. Perry Central 3. Hazard 4. Cordia

 

Cordia would be higher with Ohio State commit Hines playing, but as of right now he is ineligible. If for some reason he plays later in the season then that could change the ranking.

 

The games between the top four teams in the 14th should be some of the most interesting in the state this year.

Breathitt County's rating is much too low.....they are rated 10th but are right behind the top 4...Wes Noble is one of the top 6 players in the 14th region....guess they will have to prove that...

^ These are the Regions I am most interested in following this year.

 

Have never cared for 9th region teams and they are slipping more and more every year into the 10th's schedules, wish the 10th and 16th would hook up more, as those are the two I follow along with the 14th, love the history and rivalry's down there.

Breathitt County's rating is much too low.....they are rated 10th but are right behind the top 4...Wes Noble is one of the top 6 players in the 14th region....guess they will have to prove that...

 

 

Breathitt lost a lot, I know they return Noble but who else do they return? I don't think they return enough to contend for region..

They return enough to be rated ahead of EC, LCC, Buckhorn, OC and a couple of others....I do know that

They return enough to be rated ahead of EC, LCC, Buckhorn, OC and a couple of others....I do know that

 

I don't know about that. Estill lost Colby Baber and Brandon Morris from last year but they get Trevor Jones back who will replace Baber. It will be hard to replace Morris but if Alexander (6'8/6'9 kid) plays the way he did Saturday against Fairview he will have a big big year. Estill returns enough talent that they would compete with Breathitt if they played this year.

 

As for Owsley County, I don't know about that either. Owsley lost Allen which hurts but returns everyone else, and they only lost by 10 last year to Breathitt. I think Owsley would give them a run for their money.

 

LCC, I could see Breathitt being ranked higher than them with everyone that LCC lost. They'll be in rebuilding mode but better than most people expect.

Hearing that Joey Grove may have transferred from Owsley County to Buckhorn. If true then it's gonna hurt Owsley.

Edited November 27, 201312 yr by All State Baseball

Just heard that it was indeed true that Joey transferred to Buckhorn. This will hurt the Owls but they still should do fine in district competition.

Just heard that it was indeed true that Joey transferred to Buckhorn. This will hurt the Owls but they still should do fine in district competition.

 

His departure is a big blow for Owsley IMO. He was a double digit scorer and I believe the number 2 rebounder for them last year. His loss means a shorter beach, and being a small school Owsley rarely has a deep bench anyway. Grove was a two year starter and this being his senior season brought a lot of experience to the court.
