Surprising year so far for the Kittens, after graduating so much. Another surprise team has been Fleming Co. They have slipped a bit as of late, but have proved they can beat anyone in the region. Boyd Co. has the most experience and this could really mean a difference in the post-season, as is almost always the case. West has Perry and when she is on, they can beat anyone as well. East will always be prepared for Regionals. Then you have Rowan Co., who along with Boyd Co., are probably the favorites to win it. Remenber, they have hometown advantage in the Regionals and they ARE defending champs.

I agree with your breakdowns of the teams, but at this point in the season I don't think any of these teams can be considered a "favorite". I think that anyone of them can beat any other team on a given night. They all have specific individual advantages that could doom another other team in a particular contest. The 16th region is a toss-up plain and simple.
