I think Williamsburg will suprise alot of people this year, I watched them against a good knox central team and i was impressed. I think they will be a Top 10 team by the end of the season.

I really don't see placing Bell that high, especially this early in the year.

They have lost so much from last year and really only have one proven player returning. I understand they are well coached but you still need a few horses to race with.. here's my 13th ranking, based on returning/lost talent and keep in mind that the few teams at the top are so close it's unreal....

 

1. Corbin

2. Cumberland

3. Jackson County

4. Pineville

5. South Laurel

6. B'Ville

7. Middlesboro

8. Cawood

9. Knox

10. Clay Co.

11. North Laurel

12. Bell Co

13. Whitley

14. Red Bird

15. Lynn Camp

16. OBI

17. Williamsburg

18. Evarts

19. Harlan

1. Cumberland- Most dominant one two punch down low in the region and possibly state. Not to mention having very fine guards and the most complete starting 5 in region. Depth could be a hurdle they have to overcome.

2. Corbin- Crawford and deeper than the Pacific

3. South Laurel- People will rank them lower because like me, they want to see them fall but South is still South.

4. Pineville- Very good team and Day is a load, not to mention their guards.

5. Jackson Co

6. Middlesboro

7. Clay County

8. North Laurel

9. Knox Central

10. Cawood
