What is everyone’s thinking on how the 14th region will shake out next season? Some of the top teams from this year will have most their rosters returning. Knott loses one non-starting senior and Letcher and Owsley don’t lose any players. Leslie loses Courtney Hoskins and their center Napier. Hazard only loses one but it’s a biggie in Abbey Maggard who was at least half of their scoring. Perry loses four but have most their key players back. I think Powell graduates one starter. Wolfe and Estill each lose one starter. Breathitt graduates 2.

I think Knott will be the team to beat. Letcher and Owsley will be capable of winning the region. Perry always gets a lot of hype, but doesn’t perform I. The tournament. Leslie demolished them a couple of years ago, and Hazard beat them first round this year. Leslie with the loss of Napier, Hoskins, and Davidson will take a step back. Powell, Leslie, and Estill will be teams that could beat anybody, but won’t have the players to put together a run to win the region. Here would be my rankings. 
1.  Knott
2.  Letcher
3.  Owsley
4.  Perry
5.  Leslie
6.  Estill
7.  Powell
8.  Breathitt
9.  Wolfe
10. Hazard
