I probably have them a bit high.... (as I did last year). They might not be better than Clay or Harlan County, probably aren't. But I'm showing my green tinted glasses! I do maintain we will be better at the end of the year.....

I think you maintained that last year.
It seems I remember Harlan's JV team beating North or playing them close early in the year. I don't know if North has enough depth to play with the top teams.
I've followed 13th Region girls basketball since it started and teams like Whitley do not fall off the map. They had a good young group behind the starters.
Clay just loses one starter. Didn't North have one senior, or maybe two.
It just doesn't add up.
