Which years should they have won? I don't remember them going into any tournament ranked first or second.

 

They haven't won a district in what 12 years. I can think of a few years where you thought Middlesboro had better personnel than Bell Co. I seem to remember us disagreeing on that one year. Really they have had some talent, but the program hasn't been ran very well at all. I will say this Coach Jones is an upgrade over the last one for sure though.

My post was about the All "A" Classic. I don't believe Middlesboro has ever been the preseason favorite.

M'boro beat Clay Co. I think in the AAU this Summer.

I saw them play this summer. Good solid team with potential.

Middlesboro beat Clay in the AAU competition in 2007. I don't remember them playing this summer. Middlesboro was without two of its starters this summer and struggled at the AAU tournament.

What about Lynn Camp and even Barbourville Independent? How will they do in the all A? Did anyone see either of these teams play this summer?
