TOP 10 PLAYERS - 14TH REGION

1) Josh Whitaker - Hazard

2) Tate Cox - Knott

3) Stuart Stamper - Knott

4) Charlie Banks - Letcher Central

5) Aaron Charles - Lee

6) Chris Noble - Perry Central

7) Mike Campbell - Hazard

8) Garrison Collins - June Buchanan

9) Tristin Cackling - Estill

10) Justin Jones - Hazard

I would probably have Lee in the 3 spot.

I think Estill will surprise everyone. They have a talented group that play hard and Coach Tiller does a great job with them. Cacklin is a great player and can score in bunches.

What about the transfer that Lee got?

Lee County will be a top team in the region. However I still think it is Hazards to lose.

I would probably have Lee in the 3 spot.

 

I believe the number 2 spot in the region is a toss up between Perry, Knott, and Letcher. Lee is good but imo not on the same level as those teams.

I agree that 2 is a toss up. However, the 2 still watches from the stands with me. Hazards to lose.

Hazard is the favorite. The bad thing for Knott or Letcher is that they will have to beat both Hazard and Perry Central to win it because Hazard and Perry will be on opposite sides of the bracket in the region. Therefore, I am going with Hazard to repeat with Knott being a close second.

Hazard is my favorite to win the 14th. Whitaker and Campbell are players.

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing just how good Hazard is when they travel to Holmes Sat. Feb 7th. IMO that will be a true test as to where they stand among the state's best right before tourney time.

Without Campbell, Hazard will be right there fighting it out with Perry, Knott, Letcher and Estill! Will not be as easy for them as everyone thinks. Should be a pretty even top 5 schools in the Region! Can't wait to get it started. Good luck to all.

I heard Campbell is not playing basketball this year, can you confirm that? If he is not, it's not going to hurt them as bad as people will think. Hazard has two very good big men behind him in Allen Fugate and Rob Warren. There's no doubt about it though, he is there leader and gets that team going.
