[Patch]

Region this year is looking like it is very wide open. While obvious that Fleming and Russell have probably the most talent and should be the favorites there are some teams who are coming along at the right time of the year. Boyd County has some really nice wins as of late and Ashland had a good win over Johnson Central tonight and I am sure that Coach Biggs will have them coming together by district. Also, Rowan has some talent too but has a tough time matching up with some of the better teams like Fleming and their intense defense. In a tournament setting I give Fleming the edge with their guard play and consistent defense they play on most nights but this year I don't see a clear cut dominant team like the 16th Region has had in most years past. Once a team gets to the regional tournament all they have to do is get on a three game winning streak, and this year it looks like there are a few that could do that.
