Any thoughts?

I would say that SL has to again be the favorite after winning the regional title. Past that, you always have to include Corbin and Middlesboro because of tradition and coaching. Ledington takes over a ton of talent and Powell is going on his second year out of retirement with the program picking back up a little speed.

 

I would say that outside of those 3, only a couple even have a shot. Clay County maybe and Harlan County should have some good players coming back. NL will be decent.

How many did South graduate? I thought they had six or seven seniors.

I am going to say that it will be the same teams as usual SL, Corbin and Clay Co maybe a sleeper but these will be the top.

North Laurel will be up there ... South drops to No. two or three.

Whats your thoughts on Corbin, now that Ledington took over?

I would say they will have a very good chance.

What's your Pre-season top 5?

 

How does Corbin look with the returning Freshmen and Sophmore Class?

I would say the top 5 are:

 

1.South Laurel

T-2. Corbin

T-2. Middlesboro

4. Clay Co.

5. Harlan Co/North Laurel

I would have Clay in front of Middlesbor and I'm not sure about South being #1 after all the players they lost last year.

How can M'boro be above Harlan Co & Bell Co after what has happened over the past two seasons ?

Well since this is a new season, those seasons don't matter very much do they?

 

I do know that Bell County will be laughable this year. They lost every starter but 2 and they don't have anything resembling a pitcher. Middlesboro beat Harlan County 2 out of 3 games last year, including one by the ten run rule.

 

That is how Middlesboro is ahead of Bell Co and Harlan Co. going intothis year.

How is South still #1 again?

Well thank you for clearing that up for me. However on that third game against Harlan Co (when it really mattered) things did'nt go so good. And i've always heard to be the man you've got to beat the man. So i'll wait and laugh with you when it happens.

If I remember correctly, that game was a close one correct? Did they even pitch their ace? That's how much respect they had for Harlan County, they didn't even pitch their ace. Now I think that was a bad decision on their part, but they didn't lose because of their pitching, they lost because of defensive errors. By all means, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure they made 5 errors and 2 or 3 of those resulted in runs.

 

After beating HC two out of three games, ONCE BY THE 10 RUN RULE, I think they proved they were better. Are you seriously saying that HC is the man? Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are. I know I would rather face HC any day of the week than face Middlesboro- that's all I'm going to say and I'm entitled to that opinion.

 

I will go on to apply that principal to SL, who is the man in this region. Until they're beaten, they're the man. And they return a lot more talent than you all are giving them credit for.
