[FIRST]

Clay Co., Harlan Co., North Laurel, and Pineville will be the top 4 in the 13th next year. I do not see that much difference in those 4 teams based on talent. I would give North a small edge because of Allen's size and skill in the post. The 13th will have 10 pretty good teams next year.

1. North Laurel
2. Harlan Co.
3. Clay Co.
4. Pineville
5. Middlesboro
6. South Laurel
7. Jackson Co.
8. Corbin
9. Bell Co.
10. W-burg or Harlan
