The region tourney is going to be interesting.

In the 49th, Clay should be a lock. The rest of the district is extremely weak. It will probably be North, but they have yet to win a game. Jackson may get by them.
In the 50th, Corbin and Whitley should be locks.
In the 51st, Lynn Camp could find there way in. KC or Bville should be the other team.
In the 52nd, Bell County is a lock, but Harlan or Harlan County could make it.

After looking over the entire region, some interesting scenarios pop up.

For instance, the 49th is really down this year. Clay will compete, but the rest of the district is awful.
The 50th has Whitley and Corbin, and for the first time, I don't see South being a threat and Wburg wont be a threat at all.
The 51st seeding will determine the outcome of that district IMO. KC, LC, and Bville will all want that 1 seed so they can have an easy first round against Pineville, but whoever gets the 2 and 3 will be in trouble in the first round of district.
The 52nd is really good, with Bell leading the way. You will undoubtedly have Harlan and Harlan County as the 2 and 3 and one of them wont make region. What makes it interesting though is one of these teams could upset Bell on any give night IMO.

If I had to make a pick right now I'd go with...
49th, Clay and North
50th, Whitley and Corbin
51st, Lynn Camp and Bville
52nd, Bell and Harlan County

As good as the top is the bottom is just as bad. I can't believe the Laurel Co. Schools are as bad as they are.
