Was told Johnson County was down a player or two when Martin beat them but was also told Martin held there own against Johnson County when they both had all there players. Also given, Dylan James is playing high school only (from information I have been told), Martin County could have been the best team in the region this year. As for Pike County, you could have 1A through 1G, the top of that county could beat each other any given night. Over the summer during summer ball, Betsy Layne beat and was beaten by Dorton, Millard and Belfry. Betsy Layne would certainly be in the conversation at this moment, and will even more so when they get one of there three 6'2 boys who is out with a broken leg. Paintsville is just a very talented team, may not have quite as much height inside as other schools but they are absolutely loaded with talent and play very fundamental basketball. Think we will know a lot more about everybody after the tournament we (Wesley Christian) are hosting this week. You have Johnson County, Betsy Layne, Paintsville, Millard, Dorton, Martin County and Adams all in it and each team will play three games a piece and never play the same team twice. Will be some interesting match ups that should answer a lot of questions about a lot of teams.

If you want to see some interesting games you might not get to see other wises, come out and watch. Games are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday starting at 5:30 and there will be 4 games each night. Admission is only going to be $5 for adults to see some great basketball.
