After this season and the job Coach Wright and Coach Denny have done...I would say.

 

1. South Laurel...Coach Wright wears the Crown

2. Corbin...Hounds may star in "Bridesmaids 3"

3. Clay....Spurlock will have a talented group

4. Knox...if Miller stays

5. Harlan Co...If Jones is the Coach

6. Whitley Co....Shake and Bake gets better in year 2

7. Bell Co....Bobcats return almost the entire team

8. Lynn Camp...strong Five for Coach Pennington

9. North Laurel...Seidel, enough said

10.Middlesboro....If Green stays

1. Corbin

2. South Laurel

Corbin

Knox Central

South

Clay

Harlan

Bell Co

I haven't heard that but man alive, that would be a great hire. What's happened to Baker?

I think that our information is a little off here. I don't think those guys at Whitley are going anywhere for a while. I also believe that in reference to the top 10 13th region teams next year, that Corbin would have to be the heavy favorite due to the amount of returning players that they have, but as far as 2-10, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of flip flopping throughout the year. All of these teams are going to be pretty close as long as they remain healthy, and continue to improve in the off season :thumb:

I think you have to put South L at 1 because every year it seems they make it to state.

Don't leave us hanging about Miller and Greene. What are you saying here. Let the people know who aren't in the loop?

South Laurel until someone can win the thing besides them!

M'boro at 10? Are you joking? With Brown, Green, and Smith they will be incredibly explosive and a match up nightmare.

I would accuse Bubba and Les of "dawging" Middlesboro, but Bubba takes it personal. Middlesboro does have a nice lineup returning with Smith, Green and Brown back, plus probably Cowan taking over inside and either Gilbert or Powers in the other spot.

 

I think I'm the only one leaving North out. It's a close call, but they lost three starters and a key sub. Pineville could also be in the mix, even though they lose four starters. Strange is very good, and they had a decent JV squad.

Middlesboro is a team that seems to play well early in the season then fade later in the year. They will be very talented again if all the pieces stay together. They very well could be in the top 5 next year. You have to remember most of the teams that made the region this season return alot of their talent too and therefore I ranked them beneath the teams that made it. Pre-season polls are not really reliable, too many things can take place. Coaching changes, players transferring, injuries and who improves during the off season all factor in to success during the season. South Laurel was ranked in the pack this past season and look where they are today.
