[Hitters_Count]

Don't laugh, but I am going with Harlan Ind. I believe they return either 4 or all 5 starters from last years team and look to make a push for the region title. I think there will be more parity this upcoming year, than ever before in the 13th. Clay lost a lot, but will still be tough. Harlan Co. lost 4 but will still be in the hunt. South always is there. Bell will be a solid team. Whitley and Knox will have a good shot to make it to the title game as well. Rumor has the trio from North going other places, the big girl went to Clay, the Woolum girl is as Knox and Crawford has been overheard flirting with the notion of changing schools.
