Sheldon Clark will be the preseason favorite to win the 15th region this year, other than Johnson Central, there shouldn't be another team to play with them. May be the weakest region in the state this year.

Can't say I agree that they will be the favorite. They will obviously be very good again next year with Coach Smith on the sidelines and Parsley and James leading the way. I saw them in the beginning of the summer and I thought that there was some friction between Smith and Parsley. However, this past weekend, they played great basketball with some good teams. They beat a heavily favored Scott Co. team and beat a really good Dunbar team as well. However, JC beat them twice this summer and beat that same Dunbar team by about 25. Can't overlook them just because Hall is gone. LC made the finals of the Transy Camp and was beat I think by the same LCA team that beat SC at the KBA. The team no one is talking about is Paintsville. This will be a really tough team to play if they are healthy and they all play. Add Miller, and K. Daniels back to the mix as well as Belcher, this team could be scary!
