I just don't think it's that simple to write off several teams as irrelevant.
Harlan already beat North Laurel. South played Corbin close the other night. I have no doubt that Middlesboro or Bell could beat anyone in the region, except maybe Clay. Barbourville is also capable of beating just about anyone.

Have to agree. Bell Co and Middlesboro are both talented teams. Bobcats started slow, but have won four straight. Jackets consistently underachieve, but the talent is there.

We can never count out Barbourville or South Laurel, either.

I think these four teams are in the second tier of teams, but anything can happen when the regional tournament gets here.
