In my opinion, it is still one more year before you can really count on Shelby Valley to be the best team in the region. The youth of this years squad will still be a huge factor as the "main" nucleus of the team will be freshmen and will slowing gain confidence through the year. Even though they did make it as the region champs I still have to say that they are the 3rd or 4th best team in the region behind Betsy Lane, Johnson Central, and potentially Pikeville.

HOWEVER, after this year, Shelby Valley may actually be back to competing downstate for mid-season tourney titles and hopefully competing for another run at a state title. One of the biggest factors for these young players is to begin playing and building that chemistry must like the Shelby Valley team with Elisha Justice and Ashley Hatfield etc. did. If you can master team ball, the overall talent can be managed in the high school game. Just look at the SV winning against Ballard a couple years ago.

But for this next year. my vote goes to Betsy Lane to have one more stab at it.
