I know it is early, but it's fun to project how things will work out. I'll go first:

 

1st: Tilghman Perry and Co., are tough, coaching changes are tough I would have went with Graves if Hatcher had stayed.

 

2nd: Madisonville Moore is one of the top posts in the state and Hood seems to be on the rise. Christian Co., lost a ton and UHA had no continuity last season.

 

3rd: Apollo Tyler Brown makes them the favorite, Owensboro and Muh. North are right behind.

 

4th: Allen Co.-Scottsville did I really just not pick Warren Central? Jay Starks is a good ball player and ACS had a good 06-07 season. FS has Dalcourt and Bryant and a veteran team, if the big kid develops it will be hard to stop them.

 

5th: Adair Co. Ballou and Fudge are the regions best 1-2 punch.

 

6th: PRP if they lose I will be shocked.

 

7th:Manual both J-Town and Ballard lost a ton. Manual jas good young talent, who need to meld with one another.

 

8th: Anderson Co. Penny and Co., will be tough to beat, never discount Oldham Co.

 

9th: Holmes I love the way Henderson plays, Cov. Catholic and Highlands and Boone Co., all look to contend.

 

10th: Mason Co. Miller, Middleton, Setty...can anyone challenge?

 

11th:Lex. Catholic They have three big guns and good depth, the loss of Mackey hurts the Cards., Scott Co., Tates Creek, Henry Clay, Bryan Station, Madison Central all look like contenders.

 

12th:Wayne Co. they return the most but Lincoln will not make things easy.

 

13th:Cumberland most people think Corbin will win, but I believe in Desmond Johnson and the 'Skins. This will be their last year and they will play inspired.

 

14th:Hazard JBS has the most talent, but no one navigates the 14th like Al Holland the Bulldogs new coach. Also Campbell, Jones, Olinger and Kidd return as well as a few others. This will be a supercompetitive region and around 5-6 could win. (JBS, Hazard, Breathitt, Buckhorn, PCC, and maybe Knott)

 

15th:Paintsville Slone and Co., look real good, the Valley is always tough.

 

16th:Elliott Co. they return the most, but Rose Hill, Ashland and Fairview look like the real deal also.

15th I don't think that Valley will be as good as last year.

Hazard is looking good this year. JBS even though returning starters may not make it far .

In the 11th I don't think that Catholic has the depth to get to the finals.

Elliott should come out on top........if they play together.
