Yes Bell, Harlan ind, and clay are going to be the favorites but none are going to be dominate. I don't like how down our region is but I do love how just about anyone in the top 8-9 could win it and it wouldn't be a huge upset. I will end by saying how impressed I was with corbin this summer even without what should be the starting pg they had some good success and I think will surprise more at the end of the season if we keep improving and learn how to handle our injuries a little smarter.

I don't think the 13th is that down. I thought it was quite a bit better than the 14th or 15th last season.
As for eight or nine teams having a chance, I don't see it. I think there are six with a shot, even though I agree Bell, Clay and Harlan are the favorites. I think HCHS, Whitley and Corbin have earned the respect to be in the mix, even though it may take a while.
Perhaps North will belong in that group when the season begins, maybe even South, but they have to actually beat one of the better teams to be considered. There's no way the contenders go any deeper than that. Everyone else is at least 20-25 points below Bell.
