I just don't see how you can rank Middlesboro above Bell Co. or Harlan.. After getting beat by Bville that bad, I can't see how you put them there.. Also, I don't believe HC is "Head of the pack" either. They beat Pineville(ranked 13th) and LCC(a very down team), not taking away from their 2-0 record, I just believe the 52nd will be very unpredictable this year...

Mike Jones has had one losing season in his career and that was his first season at HC. This will not be his second losing season. Keep in mind, he is in the top 20 of all time wins for KY basketball coaches. This team will continue to improve and, for now, they are the leader in the 52nd. The other teams have proven to be unstable, so far.

It could be unpredictable at the end of the season, but, for now, the other three teams are just too unreliable.

Take this for example:

Bell Co loses to Whitley and gets blown out by Jackson.
Harlan beats North.
Bell Co beats Harlan.
Middlesboro loses to B'ville by 17, by 50+ to Jackson and barely beats OBI.

The Black Bears are at least beating the teams they should beat. None of the other teams are doing that right now.
