I agree with spxdad. This region is open to almost anyone. The mighty Valley has had past trouble during tourny time, no matter if in Jan or Mar. Just last year lost in 1st round of region to a team that was barely even a 500 club. Valley is a contender but in no way is a clear cut favorite in the 15th. I think SC, SF and Pikeville showed some signs of very good teams in the all a and so I wouldn't count any of those teams out. And I don't know how anyone can not say Pburg is not a contender. They had one of the worst regular seasons in history last year but in the last week of the season and during tourny beat the top 5 teams in the region. Sometimes believe they don't care much about regular season but turn it up in late feb. JC and Paintsville win play together and healthy can win against anyone. Then you look at BL, ER, PC and Belfry also teams that can win big games. Most any team in this region can hit a hot spot and run the table during tourny.
