[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

P-Burg is pretty good you all they beat Magoffin on the road and we know how hard that is and Goffin tonight barely got beat by Paintsville so im sticking with it they have the size and guards just wait till the end of the season...

I haven't seen a 15th Region basketball game in 5 years, as my rankings probably show, but I tried....lol.

[jayblackcat2006]

7 times out of 10 Prestonsburg will beat Shelby Valley, IF they learn how to play with the lead, until they do that they're at about #6 or #7 in the region looking in at the top 5.

[FATMAN]

1-6. how ever the 57th seeds with p burg in there
2. the rest

[Matney's Prodigey]

1. Paintsville: All the tools are there. They may be playing below their potential, BUT IT IS DECEMBER THE 17TH. The season is not made or broke in December. BMR will have this team of studs ready when it matters.
2. Pike Central: David Rowe always does a great job and Brad Lowe can shoot it as well as anyone in the region. This 4-0 team is pretty tough. I look for them to continue to flex their muscle as the season prgresses.
3. Belfry: They always get a late start because they play some fall sport in Pond Creek that seems to be popular, but the aggresive, physical style that Belfry brings to the table and the toughness that carries over from the grid-iron will make them tough in the end. Matt Maynard might be the best athlete in the region.
4. South Floyd: Only loss came to Knott County Central in the 14th region. The Raiders always play as hard as anyone in the region and when they are on look out they can topple the mightiest of foes.
5. Sheldon Clark: Call me a homer, but this team is capable of being pretty darn good. They are as athletic as anyone in the region and have May who is capable of taking over a game at any time. He is probabley the streakiest shooter in the region and if he gets hot nobody in the region can do much about it. Their record may not be great, but just like Paintsville it is only DECEMBER. If they can begin to guard people the way they are capable and with a little luck this team could make some major noise when it matters.
6. Lawrence County: Yes yes I know they just suffered a huge district loss to JC, but they also have a game on Paintsville and Magoffin. The JC game was the first time Trimble had went back to JC and emotions were probabley high on both sides. Les Trimble always seems to get the most out of his kids and I don't expect this year to be any diffrent. With one of the best big men in the region they will be tough for any 15th region team.
7. East Ridge: With their only loss coming to Pike Central on the road this teams earns a spot at #7. They always seem to get after teams defensively and their upstyle tempo will keep them in most games and will make them a force in the 15th.
8. Prestonsburg: This Blackcat team in my mind is the sleeper. They have wins over Magoffin and Allen Central (both on the road), but suffer a set back to Valley also on the road. I think they probabley deserve to be higher in the poll and once they start beating some teams they will move up. The only thing this team needs right now is TIME.
9. (tie) Johnson Central: This team is scary athletic and will be a threat if they can ever get things straightened out everyone else better look out. They have athletes at every position, and can ride their 2 studs if needed, but just haven't seemed to come together yet.
9. (tie) Magoffin County: I know I will catch some flack over having all 5 of the 57th district teams in the top 10, but the Hornets have made a believer out of me. With a big win over what some called the favorite in the 15th Betsy Lane at BL and a win against Shelby Valley at home makes me feel the Hornets are on the right track again.

Well thats my top 10. If I were to finish it out I'd go with in order:
Shelby Valley
Betsy Lane
Phelps
Pikeville
Allen Central
Piarist
David

Now I haven't seen all the teams play, but this is the feeling I get from the teams. This could be a very exciting year in the 15th with a handfull of teams all capable of being the top team any given night. No matter what it will be fun to watch.

i agree MP

How does that make Magoffin a top 5 team then? You're saying they should be in the top 5 because they played Paintsville tough at home, then you're saying that there is no way Paintsville is #1? The only way this statement would make sense is if Paintsville was head and shoulders above the competition in the 15th.

IMO, Paintsville is highly overrated. Either they had a terrible game last night, or thats how they always play. Beating them is tough, but sticking right with them on their own floor counts for a lot too. Magoffin definitely deserves to be somewhere in the top ten. I guess they still have to prove to other people that they truely are a tough team this year.

[FrAnKeE]

the way i look at it, the 15th is up for grabs, no room for errors, anyone could win

I think what they are saying is what everybody is going to realize, the 57th district is just that **** good. paintsville, Johnson Central, Magoffin County, Lawrence Co, and Sheldon Clark are 5 of the best 10 teams in the region, PERIOD.:champ: :champ: :champ: :champ:
