Hazard the past few years have been heads and shoulders above the district and there region except LCA when they were 1A. Last year Hazard was a little better than anybody and the Class State Championship shows why. Williamsburg had a solid team last year, Harlan had a solid team last year, Pikeville had an excellent team and Fairview and Raceland. Too say that this region is an easy cake walk for hazard is riduculous. I am a hazard fan but Hazard never had an easy road last year and so on. Hazard could of lost last year on any night but they didnt. The game against Pikeville last year to go to state hazard could of easily folded after Pikeville jumped out to a companding lead but they never hung there heads and the kept fighting until the end and they came out on top.

Now to this year... Hazard is the favorite until beaten. Harlan, Williamsburg, Fairview, Pikeville and Raceland all have shots to make it this year just as any team on this side of the bracket. Hazard will be beatable this year just as any team is beatable. Hazard will still be solid but they will be young on the line . Does this team have a shot being as good as last years team ? I think they do but do i think they will be better than last years team its a no. Last year was senior dominated on the line and verteran playmakers. This years team will have senior playmakers but not to experienced of a line but they will be good and I cant wait for the season to kickoff so i can come check them out....
