[KHSAA12]

Hazard has to be the favorite this year. They will be the deeepest team in the tournament this year. I also don't know if anyone has look at this years schedule, but hazard doesn't have to play a game until the semi-finals. In the semi-final game they will be more than likely playing lee co. So, that already puts Hazard in the championship game. On the otherside of the bracket you have Leslie, Buckhorn, and Cordia on the other side of the bracket. Bj Combs is playing this year, he has told me himself. Olinger on the other side has still not decided. If Olinger plays IMO puts hazard one of the top teams in the region.
Starting lineup IMO
5- Evan Whitaker
4-Jordan Olinger
3-B.j. Combs
2/1-Matt Thompson
2/1-Josh Hollan
Bench players
Jarrod Combs-4/4 in 3's In the District championship against Pcc last year.
Tyler Tripplett-Great defense player.
Collier Mobelini-Great shooter
Mack Hall and Hunter Hardy Could possibly get playing time.
Noone in the region can go as deep as the Bulldogs.
You also cannot leave out the coach Big Al.

With matt thompson in the starting line up hazard is def. down from last year. Not saying he isn't a good player cause he is, but no eric back. Hazard will make it to the finals, but imo they go down to the new lions squad or buckhorn. And this is if Olinger even plays. Also having a bunch of guards on your bench doesn't mean its deep. Maybe for the one and two spot. None of those players on the bench you just mentioned can play the four an five . Therefore calls for a decent bench not a deep one.
