Last word I heard was Derek will be playing this year. That was about a week ago. You never know though....the kid is trying to get scholarship offers in football and if a college says they want him to concentrate on football and weights for a free ride....:idunno: He is good kid with some options.

 

I heard the same thing on Saturday evening.

This should be an interesting year in the 12th region. McCreary and West Jessamine are the elite of the region and everyone else will be trying to knock them off with an upset win. Although a lot can happen between now and March, I see the 48th district as the easiest to predict and the 47th as the most difficult. McCreary, with Watts and Roark, should win the 48th with Wayne finishing 2nd. Southwestern could sneek into the region tournament, but I think they will be too young to make it this year. But, for the next 4-5 years, I would expect Southwestern to be a threat to the region title on a consistant basis.

The 47th district is anyones guess. Rockcastle is probably the favorite, but all 4 are about equal. Pulaski Co. is very young and will probably be lead by Taylor Gover since Muse will not be playing. Dixon is also out until at least January so they will have it rough for a while. If Dixon fully recovers I would think they will make it to the region tournament. Somerset will also have it rough starting out the season. They may not win a game in December because the majority of the team will still be wearing their helmets and shoulder pads. But come March, Coach Daniels will have them in region tournament.

Taylor can definitely handle that! I look forward to watching him play!:ylsuper:

I think he meant Jenkins.

I think he meant Jenkins.

I did mean Jenkins. Dixon was the big man for PC a couple of years ago.

What about Mercer County depth this year anyone?

Rockcastle has decent size if everyone does play, and what I saw of Casey Co. is they will surprise a few people.

As will Lincoln County!:thumb:

Mercer County will be a top 5 team in the region. Anything less than being one of the top 5 teams is a disappointment. They should be good this year and next year.
