Like the 14th, it seems that the 15th is down this year? What's going on in the 14th and 15th? I find it odd that class a schools, or close to it are atop both the 14th and 15th regions.
Itâs not odd.
Look at where the majority of Shelby Valley, Pikeville, and Paintsville players or best players are from.
Hint - Betsy Layne, Pike Central, and Prestonsburg would all be really good......
Iâll also say that I donât think any of those school do anything wrong and Iâll also ass those kids would be welcomed anywhere they went to school.

It's not really odd. There is a lot of tradition at those Class A schools. In my opinion the 15th is stronger than it was last year ,and will continue to trend in that direction for the next few years.
Appreciate the feedback... Being from the western part of the state it's interesting to see the small schools compete for regional titles. My School, UHA competes for regional titles but it's not the same as a small public school. The reality is that we draw from a 5 or 6a talent base and all of our sports have competed on a district and even regional basis. Heck, our track team had a state champ last year and will possibly compete for a team state title this year.
Paintsville will beat Shelby valley. I have watched both play. You will see in the all A tournament. Paintsville has a better bench and better guards

I can remember back in the early 90âs UHA had approx 50 kids in the school and 10 of them could dunk. Lol

One of my favorite high school teams growing up. A lot of talent in the 90's at UHA. Lamont Barnes, Isaiah Victor, Harold Swanagan(Sp) Greg and Andre Buckner and Michel Forest among others. Those teams were fun to watch.
Everyone's rankings looks good to me.
