16th Region 2017-18

[T-CATS]

Ashland should be pretty darn good next season. Not sure where I would put them but 11 seems low. Ashland has a kid that transferred from Ironton and if not mistaken is 6'8. Also think Fairview with at least 3 maybe more Ashland JV transfers could be a sleeper to surprise some teams.

I put my opinion on here and obviously some things have changed since I put this up. I was hoping other people would put their opinion up as well instead of picking out a team or teams and wanting them placed higher. Go ahead and rank the region, please.

[T-CATS]

Have no clue how to rank the teams. Just giving my opinion on 2 of the teams that I halfway follow. Elliott should be the favorite IMO after that no clue. Ashland is a big time sleeper if ranked 11.

[EKYkibitzer]

Most people will no longer have Elliott at #1 due to Spencer leaving and that opens this region up completely. Everyone probably thinks it's their year except Rose Hill.

Had no clue he left. Like I said Ashland and Fairview the only 2 teams in basketball I know a little about. What happened, where did he end up at?

[T-CATS]

Watched Summer ball at Raceland last month Fairview Raceland West Carter Fleming all their along with some other schools so starting to follow some other schools a little more now.

[T-CATS]

Ashland showed up the last night and destroyed West. Only game they played. Out of the four others I'd give Raceland the edge,size and point guard play over the other 3 but all 4 pretty even.

Elliott

Boyd

Ashland

Morgan

Russell

Lewis

Fleming

Rowan

Raceland

Greenup

 

There's your top ten with any of the top 5-7 capable of taking the crown, but the top 3 are the 3 to beat.

 

lewis is my sleeper pick. Morgan will be dangerous.

 

Fleming has a shot and don't count out a seasoned Rowan group comprised with strong role guys.

 

Just don't think FC or RC can get it done.

 

Calling Elliott for the quad

[Wireman]

I would put Bath County in my top 10 and Elliott County at No. 1 until someone shows they can beat them.

[EKYkibitzer]

I just don't see Elliott in the top half of region with what they lost. Good coaching and good kids but they lost 2 really good players.

It seems most people aren't familiar enough to feel comfortable ranking the region. How about ranking your district?

[All the Right Moves]

I would put Bath County in my top 10 and Elliott County at No. 1 until someone shows they can beat them.

 

Agreed on both. Bath County may be the sleeper and returns their core for the next 2 seasons. Elliott is like Belfry in football. They are the favorite until someone else proves they can beat them.

[EKYkibitzer]

Unless I'm mistaken Bath graduated their three best players. Does anyone know for sure?

Two top scorers but they have some talent and looked pretty good this summer.

[Cubster]

Greenup has the best player in the region but has holes to fill.

Raceland returns a solid starting five.

The 63rd will be a dogfight.

Russell and Lewis with return quality players. Hale and Offut being the two best on their respective teams.

[EKYkibitzer]

I would give a Fleming player the nod for the best player in the region if Elliott's player doesn't return.
