With the addition of Cox and Shouse Breathitt clearly becomes a title contender alongside Central, Bell, and Belfry. As much as I love my Pirates it is hard to deny that if Breathitt can prove they can pick up where they left off in the trenches and find a viable replacement at HB, it can be argued that the Bobcats may be the very slight favorite in the East. Tons of skill to go along with quite possibly the best skill player in the Mountains in Trent.

One thing is for certain, 3A football will be very, very entertaining. Between the afformentioned Killer B's and Central you can throw in Garrard County, Bourbon County, Russell, Ft. Campbell, and Tilghman as teams with the potential to be very good come November. Teams like Corbin, Edmonson County, and Pike Central have the talent to sneak into the picture as well.
