[Olred]

Seeing the teams that I have seen so far reinforces my thought that the region is down. My redhounds have not looked as good and now NO Coach Parsons. Bell looked good and Whitley. South Laurel looked terrible losing to whitley (expected) as well as to North Laurel who also beat Pineville and looked improved but still not that good. Knox Central looked bad but they were missing two players that may help but I doubt to a very competitive level. I have not been able to see Harlan County who I think will be good and Clay who I think will NOT be much more than competitive this year. Could be a interesting year!
