1. Clay- Talent is there, top 20 in state potential. The new guys are learning to play together and need to bring better defense and effort.
2. Jackson- Also very talented but consistency hasn't been there. No excuse to lose to Wolfe County regardless of who was out.
3. Corbin- Two words, Tony Pietrowski
4. Knox Central- Lack of depth hurts the Panthers and Evans has never been a very good coach in my opinion.
5. Harlan County- Couple good young players that play extremely hard. No idea why Miller left, with him they would have been 2-3 in region.
6. North Laurel- Young talent mixed with tough, dedicated older players. Brad Sizemore can flat coach and get the effort out of them.

At this point the rest of the region are irrelevant as far as competing for a title.
