Notes:

#1 Perry County Central took it to the chin this past week, dropping both games they had in the WYMT Food City Mountain Classic, falling 60-43 to North Laurel and 65-63 to Paintsville. Those two losses have ran the Commodores losing streak to 3 straight games.

#2 Powell County, after being took to the woodshed to open the season, the Pirates picked up two wins last week, defeating Bluegrass United Home School 100-59 and East Carter 86-75 at the Rowan County KY Bank Challenge.

Bump.

I give a slight nod to Hazard as the team with the best chance of winning the region in the 14th. They handled Perry fairly easily last night. It was at Memorial Gym, though, and the Bulldogs defend their home court as well as anyone.
