I think Williamsburg will be the team to beat in Region 3 of Class A. They return almost all their skill guys.

In 5A, Pulaski County and Madison Southern will probably battle for District 7. I know Southwestern has some very, very good players coming out of middle school.

Harlan County will be the District 8 and Region 4 favorite. The Bears bring back a very strong junior class and will probably have the three top players in the district in Whitehead, Long and Wilson.
Whitley will be a solid second. Letcher may overtake Perry Central because Perry Central loses their playmakers.

I agree with you HDE on HC being the District 8 and Region 4 favorite.

However, I see the the District 7 having four different teams battling for it. Pulaski, Madison Southern, Southwestern and North Laurel.

I know everyone counts NL out of it each year before the season. But, NORTH IS ON THE RISE. Loosing only two key players, Velasco and Hacker, from this years team. The Jags are going to be a better team. Returning stars, Nelson, McFadden, Blair, and both lines.

Pulaski loses Goins and four other key position players. I do not think they can go undefeated next year again in district play.

Madison Southern is losing a half-dozen key position players and I do not think they will be as good as this years team.

Southwestern was a very young team this year and should be much improved for next season.

Lincoln County was also young and should be better.

South Laurel- I have nothing to say good so I will not say anything!!!!!!!!!
