This list right on, nice work "All State Baseball" - the All A tournament in a few weeks should be a dandy and the regular region has multiple strong contenders; everyone is chasing Hazard right now as they are the clear frontrunner.

Bump.

Looks good. I agree with the above about the All A making things a little more clear. The 14th probably has more All A teams than any region in the state. All but 4 schools are All A schools. Many of these teams will be playing one another in the tournament.
