Pietrowski will get everything he can out of them and they are dangerous, but I don't think this year's team is as good as the last two, and they were knocked out early.

This may be the least talented team I've seen him have, but they play harder than last year's squad, I think. The region is also probably a little weaker this year than it has been. I think Clay, Knox, and Jackson are in the top tier of the region, talent-wise, then the second tier is a large group of teams, with Corbin and Harlan County near the top. I think the field will shake out a little in the second half of the season.
