Jed: Neither Clay or Male looked sharp, but that's called November. Male is ranked 5-6th in the 7th region for a reason. There is no team in the 13th that plays remotely as fast as they do. I'll be the first to agree that Brad Sizemore is a heck of a coach. He was the only coach that could manifest a defense to contain Clay's freshman, McDaniel. As for pressure, Robert Marcum isn't going to be taking the shots or handling the ball this year or any year. His playing career ended in the early 90's. Clay will be there at the end and if a walking, breathing big enters the program they will be unmatched for the next few years.

Unmatched for the next few years?
I understand Clay has a nice freshman class this year, but the junior and sophomore classes aren't very strong. If the frosh were unmatched one or two of them would be starting this year.
I don't think anyone in the region played within 20 points of Harlan County's freshmen last season. Harlan County, Corbin and South all had good JV teams.
