Middlesboro and Williamsburg each have a couple of very good players, and I don't think you can ever count out Corbin, North and South.
It's interesting how Harlan County has fallen off the map. Their JV team was the best in the region the past two years and didn't lose a game last year. They may be a year away from being among the favorites again, but Jones' teams usually do awfully well when no one thinks they will.

Those 2 boys for Middlesboro are really fun to watch (Foister and Poindexter) but don't think they have enough with those two to be a threat to win it all. As for Harlan County, the center piece of their Jv team that won state (Miller) is gone! Also, the way that most smaller schools have fewer numbers in their program and good freshman and sophomores a lot of times play varsity only, HC is able to play more older and seasoned players on the Jv and have been able to win a lot of Jv games. That doesn't necessarily translate to great varsity success.
