You're soft-selling Bardstown. They will be in the mix next season and it wouldn't shock me to see them win the region. But I guess they'll be a no-name team, with no players worthy of note. Probably how Boo likes it.

I know they have a lot of young talent just not sure of any of their up and comers or stars. Traynor kid possibly?
