I could be wrong, but I have a feeling one team might get a rude welcome to the WYMT Mountain Classic!!

For what my opinion is, I would say that if you were to seed the tournament, based on pre-season ratings (which is all one has to go on at this time), you would have to put 1-4 seeds, in no particular order, (Leslie, North, Paintsville, and Harlan)......with 5 being Hazard, 6 and 7 going to Knott and BL in no specific order, with Phelps bringing up the rear....With this being said it would make sense to place 4 vs. 5 and 1-3 vs. 6-8.....If you weren't going to seed then a blind draw would make sense....That didn't happen....

You have to realize that this tourny is set up for the semifinals and WYMT wants the best games then because they will be on TV. It makes perfect sense to me why they draw up the games the way they do.

In most polls, Harlan is ranked ahead of North. Look at BGP preview by Les.

Hazard/Leslie would make a great second round game.

Who do you think that may be Sports?

Hazard/Leslie would make a great second round game.

It could happen. Hazard matches up pretty well with North. Hicks can more than hold his own with Allen.

I will agree with that. Hazard always plays well at the @ WYMT too.

I don't think Hazard could stay within 15 of leslie.

You may beat the Dawgs by 15 but after your performance tonight vs. PCC you may want to worry about Betsy Layne. The funny thing about the 14th Region is that when all others play Hazard or PCC, in the region, it is the biggest game of the year for them while these two teams usually have to work really hard to get up for these opponents. I think you should actually have to beat one of these two teams before you can even consider making yourself the favorite over one and the last we all checked Leslie hasn't beaten either one in a few years. We all know they have talent this year and that Coach Sizemore works hard with them but until you beat SOMEBODY you probably just need to sit back and relax and soften your expectations for your team.

You should check some facts before you make a post like this one.

Leslie beat PCC last year.....

I'm Guessing A Hazard-harlan Finale, Will Fit Nicely For The Station, But I've Been Wrong Before, Once.

Now that Smith is out for Harlan, Painstsville appears to have a clear path to the finals. I expect North Laurel and Leslie Co. to battle it out to face Paintsville in the finals. Why would they pair Knott Central and Phelps in the first round when they are clearly not among the top 5 in the tournament?

At the time the pairings were made Knott was 4-0 and all wins were in double digits.
