I can't remember the last time Larry Vaught wrote the 12th Region preview. He covers UK. Mike Marsee wrote it for a number of years and did a good job.
Les Dixon grew up in the 12th Region and went to school in Laurel when it was in the 12th Region and he covered the 12th Region for years in London. I'm sure he knows enough about it to write a preview story.
Coaches polls are also used in the 13th and 14th regions. Sometimes a freshman or sophomore will get left out because all the coaches aren't that familiar with him. If he's that good, I'm sure he'll be ranked at or near the top when the season ends.
