Please inform me of this. We might hear about the occasional player, but the teams are rarely seen in the western end of the state and usually make a quick exit at the Sweet Sixteen.

Up to the end of the 60's, the 14th region was as good as any in the state.
Since then, well facts can't be denied. It just hasn't produced
very many teams that can be competitive at a state level.
Even the '86 Hazard team involved in the controversial
Sweet 16 semi loss to PRP, really wasn't in a league
with PRP. More a case of PRP playing down.

One thing I will say that will seem odd. But over the last
12-15 years we've seen an overall decline in hs basketball
statewide, and a greater focus on football. And during this
time it's actually made it easier for rural areas to produce
teams that can be competitive with the 6th, 7th and 11th
regions teams. Yet the 14th hasn't really done so. And at
least a part of it during this period has been because of
the explosion of focus on football.
