Same here.  Early indications are that the 10th is down this season.

Seems that way to me.

It's wide open... meaning about 5 teams have a shot. 

Early indications are Bentley is a lot better  X’s and O’s coach than Mays.

If Mays has great talent he’ll be okay but if not he’s average.

Mays’ team has battled injuries quite a bit. His top 3 players are out right now with injuries, I believe two are ankles and one is a hand injury.

They all played against Powell County, though.

Yes. I was referring to the Hazard game. 
Powell County is not a bad team by any means, particularly on their home court. They have all their players back from a district championship team. The Pirates  had a great night and Montgomery didn’t. The Indians also rely on several young players.
Mays’ first year at Ashland they were .500 going into the middle of January and then caught fire and won the 16th region and one game at state. I’m not saying they will repeat that in his first year at Montgomery but people need to have some patience and not rush to judgement after just a few games.

Bentley is a great set caller.

I wouldn’t give Mays the credit for turning that season around. I think it had to do with Cole Villers coming back from an injury.

Ashland had really good talent then Mays added pieces to make them better. Let him go to a small school and not add any pieces and Mays is average at best.

I’ll take Bentley with development and X’s and O’s all day, it’s not even close.

His team went 33-0 the next season and Covid canceled the state tournament. So I suppose he didn’t have anything to do with the undefeated season, just rolled out the balls and let them play??? No development, game preparation, scouting, strategy, etc…

Well, okay. I didn’t know it worked that way. Learn something new every day.

Augusta nearly put a running clock on Powell County.  Montgomery County has all their players back as well and added two transfers that start.  I think Montgomery County will definitely get better towards the end of the season, but their schedule is not doing them any favors.  There may only be 8-9 wins left for them.

MoCo’s schedule was by design. They will either rise up and get better with it or if the season doesn’t go as planned, they can point to it being so tough as a reason.
