NO WAY that Neal Pawsat isn't a top 10 player in the region. I would hope that his injury was taken into account with this list.

With all this talk about how Mason County won't be able guard GRC, what about GRC guarding Mason County? They will get the ball too you know and will be able to put up some points.

I'd say he is 5'11" but he is stout.

Trust me, Justin Lang will draw Stenzel. Despite his size, he is a great defender and that will be shown once he gets more minutes. That being said, it will be tough for anyone to "contain" Stenzel. The kid is a stud. I would say that by the time the 10th Region tournament comes around, Tyler Black or Manship will be starting over Bradley Lang.

Its easy to see, GRC and Mason County will be the primary teams fighting it out for the 10th Region Crown next year. Just like it was last year. Why all the fuss? GRC and Mason County should probably 1 and 1A anyway. And its October! Alot can happen between now and March. Everyone knows that Preseason Rankings don't matter at all anyways. If that was the case Scott County would have 11 Straight State Titles. Even if GRC is ranked higher in the Preseason than Mason, that really means nothing. Rankings don't matter, the only thing that does is who is holding that trophy in Rupp in March. Get off of Fraysure for writing his OPINION! I'm sure you would jump at the chance to write the Rankings for the Cats Pause and when you did, people could rip your rankings and tell you how dumb you are too...

There is a HUGE difference between getting a letter and getting an offer to walk on...

Why try to discredit a kid for getting noticed?

Yes, people from Mason County do know, but alot of it is speculation and nothing is offical. It is not our place to share information that isn't 100% accurate. Treg is due for a Monster year.

Scott gave Mason County all they wanted last year? Mason County beat them by 21 on their home floor. I was there and yes Mason County did go on a run at the end of the game to pull away, but they still led the majority of the game by double digits. They beat Campbell Co. by 20 at home and 15 on the road last year as well. For Scott and Campbell to be considered contenders year in and year out like Mason County and Clark, they will have to have a better showing than that. Scott gave Clark all they wanted, but not Mason County.

I've seen Bradley play dozens of times and I think he is a pretty good player, but he doesn't have half of the upside of Tyler Black.

Bradley will start at the beginning of the year probably, but not at the end of the year. Tyler is just too good offensively and the Royals will be in need of more scoring. Justin will be vital to the Royals this year. He should've played much more last year, but hopefully he'll get minutes this year. He is a tenacious defender and reminds me of a shorter Keith Downing, a player who does all the little things. A glue guy.

Don't we hear this every year though? All last year I heard about how good Scott and Campbell Co. were, and I never really saw it come to fruition.

The starters at the beginning of the season will not matter, but at the end of the season, it will be Setty, Pawsat, Gilbert, Justin Lang, and Tyler Black, with Josh Harris, Manship, and Bradley Lang giving minutes off the bench. Osborne isn't ready for the big time yet in my opinion, but he could get some minutes at guard next year to improve his game. He has potential. Tyler Black very well could be the next big thing at Mason County. He is a beast and his offense will be needed for the Royals this year. He may not start at the beginning of the year, but he will be a key player at the end of the year. BEAST. Mason County will be young, and will miss Middleton, Downing, and Hamm. They will be very hard to replace, but they will be right in the thick of things at the end of the year.

Also, by the end of the year, Jordan Gilbert, Phil Barner, and Tyler Black from Mason Co. will be well known names in the 10th and could make a run at Post Season Top 10. They all have great potential.

Stenzel is the runaway #1 Player in the Region. After that, I think there are several players that are very good. I would say this.... 1. Robbie Stenzel 2. Treg Setty 3. Kyle King 4. Vinny Zollo 5. Azrey Crisp 6. Neal Pawsat Beyond that, I think there are lots of players in the mix.
