Pineville could be pretty competitive, but I don't think they are "definitely" ahead of Harlan or Barbourville. They lost a lot of size and their JV team wasn't that great. I saw Harlan beat them at Pineville last season.
If Pineville's guards are shooting well they could be dangerous, but if not they will struggle. They don't have much, if any, depth.
J.D. does do a great job with what he has, so I won't count them out, but I don't see them being as good as last year unless some players improve a lot.
