One of the more surprising scores of the year in the mountains. Multiple teams in the 14th and 15th have a legit shot at winning their region, especially the 15th.

15th is still pikeville’s to lose with jc and Paintsville having a shot. Hazard is the clear favorite in the 14th with Wolfe and Knott having a shot. Knott doesn’t have the pitching outside of Napier to make a deep run and Wolfe tends to make too many errors and showboats a little to much for my liking

Agree it's Pikeville's to lose but teams like Floyd Central, Shelby Valley and even Belfry with their awful JV schedule can knock off one of the favorites in the 15th. All of the 1st round games in the 15th will be dangerous.

Lawrence County definitely has a shot also.  Pikeville may very well win it, but I wouldn't say it's theirs to lose.  The draw will be huge.  I don't think Floyd Central, Pburg, or Belfry have the horses to win it, but they're definitely good enough to win a first round game.  The top 4 are all capable of beating each other depending on pitching matchups.

It's Pikeville's to lose but they will have to face every team's best pitcher which makes it tough. At this stage I say Pikeville 55%, Paintsville 20%, Johnson Central 20%, Lawrence Co. 5%, everyone else zero%.

Belfry isn’t knocking anyone off

Pikeville may have the best pitcher in the region, but there's nothing about their on-field results that suggests they're far and away the best team. In fact, based on results, I'd say it's a toss up among the top 4 before seeing the draw.

Pikeville has the best pitcher and position player in the region.  Duty and B Hall can change the game on their own.  Their number two is better than most of the other number ones.  Pikeville’s has played more quality opponents than the majority of the region. Their region losses were due to young players and pulling pitchers to save arms.  Won’t happen in the post season.

Just looked at their schedule.  It's not much different than Johnson Central's or Lawrence County's, both of which have better records.  And I've seen a few other game-changing position players in the 15th this year.  Not dogging Pikeville, just saying there are a couple other decent teams in the region with more than a puncher's chance at the title.

lol.   Sounds like you are dogging Pikeville.   

Hell I dont even like Pikeville but JC’s schedule of PCC, Wolfe, Powell and greenup don’t compare to Sayre, Ryle , Corbin, Freddy D or woodford.  
Lawrence best teams are Ashland and Boyd    Boyd is for real but knott letcher and pburg don’t stack up.  We played you close and this is the worst belfry team I’ve bean around in ages

Paintsville and Johnson Central have a puncher's chance or better. Lawrence Co. doesn't have the pitching or hitting to win 3 games in the regional tournament unless the stars align perfectly in their favor.

Yeah it’s not quiet the same level of competition but some have their school colored goggles on

[Bluecat]

Saw this one pop up and was a bit surprised. Went back and looked at Floyd, they also beat Lawrence and Johnson recently. Baseball is just one of those games where surprises like this happen. It is what makes the region so wide open.

If by "playing close" you mean losing 6-0 with your top 2 pitchers on the mound and never threatening to score, then I agree with you.

I'm going by past results, not what's coming up.  Pikeville has nice wins against Ryle and Corbin, but they've also struggled some against the better teams.  I'm not predicting Lawrence to win it.  They're good enough to beat anybody in the region, but inconsistent enough to lose in the first round.  4th best team in the region based on results so far, so this isn't really about Lawrence.  All I'm saying is based on past results only, there's not as big of a gap 1-4 as some might think.
