I'd put those three at the top, but I think Harlan County (Massingill, Stittums, Lee and Noe etc..) is still a contender, and I find it very difficult to leave Clay County out of the mix.
The next group is dominated by Class A teams - Barbourville, Harlan, Middlesboro, Lynn Camp and Pineville, along with South Laurel.
I think North Laurel still has a ways to go to get into the second group, much less the first.

I can agree with that.
I think were all just happy it isnt a dead lock for Clay every year like it use to be.
Thank God the talent pool finally dried up a little over there.

I was talking with a friend of mine who works with some of the middle school girls and hes very excited about the talent coming up. Whitley has always had success with girls basketballs feeder program, and it continues getting better. If Im not mistaken, the middle school girls at Whitley just one that premier tournament that all the best teams in the state play in.
