I look for Paintsville to be a little better. But stikk a year removed from being in contention for the district or shaking things up. The eastern bracket should be Wburg, Pikeville, Hazard, and Raceland, the latter two being interchangable. With Fairview and Paintsville being close 5s. Paintsville loses a QB, a RB and some lineman. They will be field with soph/jrs though. I do think that Chirico will have them in contention for the district in 2015.

Based on this years results and factoring in what teams return, Id give a way too early preseason rank like this:

Mayfield(obvious reason)
Beechwood(this year was a fluke, learning year, they will be back to bw in 14)
Williamsburg(returns alot, but goina take some lumps loosing Sizemore)
Russellville(return alot, but need to develop some sort of passing game)
Pikeville(no 2 in the east, very dangerous team if they get Pugh/Charles rb tandem going)
Raceland(doine/oline is the only question mark)
Hazard(see raceland assesment)
Fairview(sleeper to shake thigs up in the east)
Paintsville(could become David in a land of goliaths)

Look familiar? Same old story every year. West is much stronger than the East.
