Who's the contenders in the 15th region this upcoming season? thoughts ?

[HatfieldMccoy]

Definitely not Belfry. Our middle school girls could beat the high school. Oh wait there isn’t any high school girls that want to play.

My guess would be JC then Pikeville

Pikeville lost their whole team but they will be fine. Lawrence has a stud in Sophie Adkins. JC is well coached with some great players. I see the 15th region as a 3 headed monster. (Pikeville, Lawrence, Johnson Central) No other team has a chance IMO.

I could see Betsy Layne sneaking into a late round in the region and making an upset. The pick up of Kidd coming back is huge and takes the load off Pente. Sophie Adkins is a stud I agree.  I think the 58 district could go anyway but favorite Lawrence and BL. Fc could maybe do it but they are young I believe only 1 senior. Could be FC to win next year.

Agree with this. Could see Martin Co shocking some people, they just beat Betsy Layne 52-43. Pikeville has a strong chance to win next year, they have the Alvin and Lin duo and good size in the post with Rogers and Woods.

Saw Johnson Central play against Boyd County. They are very talented and I promise you their coach cares more than your coach lol.

Coach Hicks is truly the 6th man for the JC team. I've never seen a coach be 5-10 feet out on the court as much as he is.

Might have Prestonsburg over Martin county but other than that it’s spot on.

I can agree with that. Besides Jc at 1, really the next tier of 2-4 could be put in any order.
