Thanks for the information.  I've watched Boyle Co. a few times, and they have all the pieces (and still a few missing) to win this region.  I do feel the winner will come out of the top 6 in these rankings.

Top 6 teams in this region are head and shoulders above the rest at this point. Defense is what sets these teams apart. The other teams show signs of good play but fail to get crucial stops when it counts. McCreary County may be the surprise team in the end to get hot when it counts.

I had McCreary as my surprise team in the pre-season, and nothing thus far has changed my mind.  Although, Southwestern will continue to improve under Chris Baker.  They have another big opportunity tonight at Lincoln Co.

Does anyone know if Somerset streams their games?  If so where?

 

Thanks!

Some games are streamed from Lake Cumberland Sports on Facebook. If you get on any given night you can possibly catch a Somerset, Pulaski County, or Southwestern game.
