Pikeville beat Magoffin County and Johnson Central, both of them very handily. Beat JC by 20 or 21 total points (I believe it was 55 total points for this game), and Magoffin County by the same amount (62 or 63 total points for this game). I thought Belfry looked okay, definitely not the Belfry of old. Magoffin County is actually a fairly solid defensive club, but not strong on the attacking. Their set ups left a lot to be desired. Johnson Central was pretty good in all areas. but their attacking was again, not as strong as traditionally in the past. Based on what I saw, Pikeville, AC, BL and Belfry (not in that order) are the top 4 teams in the early going. It looked to me like Pikeville had the least amount of drop off between their varsity and JV teams in terms of overall talent.

All teams played well, but overall I thought all teams were somewhat down from last year, but it is just the beginning of the season.
