I don't feel quite as good as last year, but I'll stick with Harlan.

Lynn Camp 16th?

Didn't the Wildcats take Pineville into overtime?

 

Lynn Camp hasn't beat anyone worth something since that game. They lost to Bville and Jellico. Middlesboro is better than Bville, they just had a bad game. I admit Williamsburg is misplaced but other than that and maybe the campers being one or two places low I don't see anything wrong with my rankings. Top 10 is all that matters.

Mr. Potato head, don't worry about my studies. I do just fine in that regard.

Shhhh! Manimal is studying or sleeping or something! This just in.....Pineville beat the Boston Celtics! Charlie Kirk was the referee. Just kidding! Great to see your so enthusiastic about your team. Should be a great tournament. Can't wait to see the fearless forecast this week. Les Rules! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

Did you watch the Bell game at Pineville last year? Charlie had a water bottle chucked at him, I doubt he would help Pineville.

New ratings are done ... will be published later tommorrow. Check out The Times-Tribune tommorrow ... if ya can't wait lol

Handicapping the 13th:

 

Tier 1 - Cumberland, Corbin, South Laurel

Tier 2 - Knox Central, Clay County, Pineville,

Tier 3 - Bell County, Jackson County, Middlesboro

Tier 4 - Cawood, North Laurel

 

The positions in each are inter-changeable on a given night; but I wouldn't see any team from a given tier win two regional games above their level.

 

Cumberland presents match-up problems for everyone with Johnson/Wilson, and probably have the most athletically talented team. South Laurel has recent success and a convincing win over Corbin on their side. Corbin is probably most versatile team top to bottom.

 

Personally, I would least want to play Cumberland in a one-and-done setting. My sleeper pick would be host-Knox Central, especially if they can land a favorable draw. I don't think it's inconcievable that Miller go off and carry the Panthers in a Friday-Saturday double-header, but I don't think Central has been consistent enough to string together the 3-4 quality wins (district final) neccessary.

 

The draw should be very interesting, especially if the field shaped up with:

 

49th - Clay Co. / Jackson Co.

50th - Corbin / South Laurel

51st - Knox Central / Pineville

52nd - Cumberland / Bell Co.

Could you point out the major differences in my top 10 and yours? I'm not following the criticism.

South is VERY dangerous in a one and done situation especially with their coaching.

Actually for Miller to go off in the region, it would be a Monday, Tuesday effort, not Friday, Saturday.

Hadn't realized the 13th was doing that this year. What's the entire schedule look like?

Did it last year, too. Started doing it because the girls Sweet 16 is being played first.

Monday, Tuesday girls, wednesday, thursday boys, friday, saturday girls, monday, tuesday boys ... I believe that's how it was done last year.

So that's why Pineville's cheering section chanted his name at the All' A. Plus, isn't it crazy he gets his lower arena tickets for sweet sixteen games from Bell County Pull? Family ties don't forget blood is thicker than water. LOL!

What about the time coaches truly rated the officials after every game and he got a hold of some of the cards and ranked the officials how he wanted! Plus, there's the time he somehow predicted all the teams who would win sweet sixteen games from a little bar in Hazard! Things that make you go HMMM! How many times has Strange Jr been in foul trouble this year? Just kidding everything in the 13th is perfect! I was just razzing Charlie he is going to be awarded the duties of assistant assigning secretary in the 13th plus he will return to Rupp to represent the 13th since the other officials are mad at Ashurst! Congrats Charlie you deserve it!

Surely Charlie was not ranked as the top offical in the 13th?
