Is it true that Proffitt is not playing at South?? That would be a big loss for them if it is true.

 

He will be playing. I know the basketball coaches don't want him to play, but they didn't want him to play football either. I will be SHOCKED if he isn't playing.

Brace yourself for a JOLT, from what I've been told...He's not playing.

1. Leslie County

2. Paintsville

3. Middlesboro

4. Johnson Central

5. Lee County

6. Pikeville

7. Allen Central

8. South Laurel

9. North Laurel

10. Perry Central

OK, my take on the Mountain Regions.

 

12th - Rockcastle, Danville, SW Pulaski & Mercer Co. are historically excellent teams. I'd pick Danville as a pre-season favorite. Rock has the best battery.

 

13th - Middlesboro & Corbin at the top, both have potential, but also potential problems with youth. I've heard a lot about South Laurel, Whitley is an up-n-comer.

 

14th - Powell County has ruled this usually weak Region for years, but I look for Leslie to assume the crown, with Hazard & Lee Co. in the mix.

 

15th - Pikeville & Johnson central at the top. Sheldon Clark as an up-n-comer.

 

16th - Belongs to Boyd Co., with Ashland as a dark horse. Don't know as much about the 16th, though.

About the 14th...I don't understand how you get that Powell Co. has ruled it for years when I don't recall the last time they took home a championship

The last 2 years powell has been in the championship game..and semifinals the year before that. They will always be there knocking on the door...The only team that i can think of that has been more dominant and IMO is more dominant in the 14th is Hazard. Maybe they were looked over because of the rough year last year.
