As far as the ALL "A" Regional. No One will beat Jackson County. Period! In fact, Jackson County is probably 25 points better than Harlan. I would still rank Pineville and Barbourville ahead of Harlan also. I rank Harlan 4th best class A school in the region and I rank them somewhere between 9-12 in the region. I think they will finish 4th in the district. They could push Middlesboro for third, but they don't have a player as good as Foister. Poindexter is every bit as effective as Miller too. I'm just not buying into this hype that Harlan is going to be any better. They're limited at guard play, and Miller as absolutely ALL they have inside. I don't want to hear anything about 6'5 and 6'5 either because the other kid is very limited.

Nice to see Barbourville actually mentioned in this thread lol. All jokes aside this Barbourville team will resemble lasts year very much. They return 3 starters in Alexander Phipps, Tanner Moore, and Jason Mills and have 3 other seniors as well as junior Brandon Gray who transferred back from Knox. When this group was sophomores, they went undefeated at the JV level throughout summer ball and the regular season, but JV is still JV and matters very little. Hopefully this team can make a run at All "A" regional as they are the host, I think, and maybe compete for the district championship. They are not a threat to region IMO as I see them just outside the top 10 at this point but anything is possible in the 13th region. I'm just glad the region is going to be back at the arena this year!! No disrespect to Harlan County as they have a beautiful campus and facilities.

Goodluck Tigers this upcoming year!!
