I'm sure Mike Jones and the Pre-Season #1 Harlan Co. Black Bears will have something to say about that as well. Clay Co. and Corbin may be solid as they normally are, but the coaches voted Harlan Co. #1 for a reason. They have everyone back after losing to Clay on a buzzer beater in last year's
13th Region Tournament. Combine that with an experienced, veteran coach like Jones who has won this region numerous times and it's easy to see why it will be the Bears who are the favorites, not Barbourville, Corbin, or Clay.

Yea, and thats said every single year and every single year we see Corbin and Clay usually fighting it out in the 13th. Every now and then a team will surprise and that may be Harlan County this year, but you better believe Corbin and Clay will be firing on all cylinders come tourney time.

And preseason ranking mean absoloutly nothing.
