[YNWA]

There is a very good chance someone wouldn't have to string together three great wins to win the 13th Region title. North Laurel will likely be the second team to come out of the 49th, while two of Barbourville, Pineville and Lynn Camp will come out of the 51st. That means three contenders will likely get very manageable draws in the first round. Then it comes down to winning two games. On the other hand, the district winner that draws the 50th and 52nd District runnerups will face the difficult task of beating three of the top 5 teams in the region.
