Should be a competitive season in Pike County. I think injuries will have a huge impact on how it goes though. I know Tanner Thompson at Pikeville and Noah Perkins for us have both had probable season-ending injuries. 6th and 7th grade year, us and Pikeville went back and forth as the best team, but several more teams have entered that conversation now. To me, Belfry should probably be the team to beat on paper. Besides already having a good team, they have added lots of talent with the kids who held back. Mullins has also benefitted alot from holdbacks as well. They should be very good. Johns Creek and Millard should both be tough. I think any of those 6 could possibly win it. I know that Elkhorn should be much improved as well with at least one holdback and some new additions. Of the other 4 teams, Valley should be competitive (but very young). I know Feds Creek lost alot of kids to transfer and should be extremely young. I don't know alot about Phelps and Kimper.
