Looks much better.

I agree with Powell County as the top team. They are playing great basketball right now. In the Boyd loss in the 2A they actually had a 1 point lead within the last minute and Boyd’s Spurlock made a 3 and Powell didn’t score and had to foul and ended up a 4 point loss. But Boyd County is a very good team. 
Powell has a good defensive team and plenty of scorers, the most notable two are Morguson and Edwards. If they have one weakness they are not a team with great size. But I believe they have enough firepower to get them out of the 14th this year and onto the Rupp Arena court in March.

I thought they had decent size when they played at Somerset.  #1 and #5 had pretty good length.  Not much bulk though.
