Whitley is most definantly a contender for the 13th region title this year! HC started strong but has since been slowed by injuries and other teams playing them well. I still believe this is the most balanced the 13th has been in quite a long time. If you look at the teams in an unbiased manner, I see CLay, Whitley, HC, Harlan, Bell, Corbin, Knox and South as being teams that have a legit shot at cutting down the nets at the Arena this year. We all know some things have to go right in order for most of these teams to win it all, but all of them have the skill, players and with a little luck may cut down the nets.
