There's little doubt in my mind that the top four contenders for next year appear to be Elliott County, Hazard, Shelby Valley and Bardstown.

 

Is Corbin in the All A Classic next year? If so, they could be on the list, too.

 

Any others?

Bishop Brossart always plays tough during the All A.

University Heights has also been there a time or two?

Elliott Co is the favorite.

 

BB in the 10th is always there it seems like.

Elliott is hands down the favorite! They return Ferguson, both of the Faulkners and the Knipps!

What about Calvary Christian next year in the 10th? They had a nice team this year and lost to Brossart in the All "A" regional final. Do they return anything?

The favorite? Maybe.

 

"Hands down" the favorite? No way, especially if Hazard has everyone back. Shelby Valley returns plenty, too, as does Bardstown.

Corbin doesn't qualify, from what I've heard. Middlesboro probably will be the favorite in the 13th.

you are correct, many good teams out there. Next year will be enteresting.

Somerset owns the 12th. Danville and Burgin return a lot of players though.

I had heard that they changed the way teams are considered eligible for the All A. The bottom 125? get in.....so competition will be a little tougher. Teams like Desales and Christian Academy of Louisville will be eligible out of the 6th and 7th regions.....both teams have to be considered if that is true.

Lynn Camp should be the favorite in the 13th. Playing in the Cumberland falls next year and playing teams like Corbin in the regular season should make them much better. Plus, they return a lot of very talented players from a regional semifinal run. Middlesboro has a lot of talent and athletic ability but they are too inconsistent. Barbourville will be much improved and Pineville will be better than expected. The 13th should be fun to watch.

At the risk of facing the wrath of Bubba, isn't Lynn Camp a tad inconsistent, too?

M'boro in the 13th region will be loaded with talent next year.

I would call them loaded, but it's a solid team with Brown, Smith and Green returning, plus Cowan, Powers or Gilbert filling out the starting lineup. Those first three could probably start for anybody in the region, except maybe Corbin.
