1. JBS

2. Hazard

3. Perry

4. Powell

5. Lee

The 56th will be fun when Powell and Lee play. Up and down the floor,up and down the floor,up and down the floor. That will make them both contenders along with Hazard,JBS, and PCC as the top 5 in no particular order.

Buckhorn and Breathitt will be in the mix by season's end.

From the past year, watching coach Lively take an unheard of Jackson City team to the region finals...i have to give Powell good chances, if Lively can do what he did at JC with this upperclass team of Powell it may look good. I agree that the Lee/Powell games will be fun and very exciting to watch. Both teams have experience and this may be a look forward at the regional final... Talent wise the region isnt loaded but the top 5 teams mentioned above all have great ability. I'll lean toward Lee or Powell from the 56th taking the trip to Rupp this year...

Lee maybe Powell noway.....while JC did have a good year last year I think people should give Shannon Hoskins the previous coach some credit there. They had a couple of really talented players on that team. Powell IMOP is loaded with too many seniors some like 10-11. Some cant play a lick...should have been cut to develop some underclassmen. They wont touch Lee this year.

From what I remember from last year I would think Lee would win the 56th this year. Where is the dist. being played at this year, if it's Powell then it's hard to beat them at home.

The 56th district tournament shoule be in Owsley County.

Lee County has had Powell's number since the boys were freshmen.

What does anybody think of Jackson City this year? They return two starters and some other experienced players from last years region runner up team
