[Harlan Native]

Harlan County is ahead of the pack because they pass the "eye test" right now. Pineville and LCC arent the best measuring sticks, but this team played very well this summer. If im not mistaken, they beat Johnson Central and Cordia among others. You are really underestimating this team. Like I said, they have experience in the junior class. They have size with Caldwell, Lee, and Massey. Caldwell is as skilled a player at his size as there is around here. He plays inside or out, handles the ball and makes plays. Massey mans the paint, rebounds, and plays great post D. They are the best shooting team in the distrcit as well...period. Dont even try to argue that point. They have 6 guys that can shoot the three effectively. The difference tho will be guard play, and Harlan county has plenty of that. Great ball handling team!!

You are correct, they did beat JC and cordia this summer..... With Miller on the team, who was without a doubt the best player they had.. Also, I know for a fact Cordia didnt have cunningham OR Keita at the time.. Those summer wins are pointless, if we are going off of that, I do beleive HHS beat Corbin this summer, does that automatically qualify them to be top 5 in the region?
