If Baxter isn't playing, South will have a tough time being a regional contender, even though you know they have enough talent to be dangerous. Williamsburg will probably start slow again with most of the team playing football very late, probably in Bowling Green. Whitley got as much as they could out of their talent last year but didn't look quite as good over the summer. Corbin has the best starting five but not a lot of depth.

I don't think they mind, but Harlan County is being forgotten. They were very competitive with both KC and Corbin this summer and didn't have Caldwell and Miller was just getting back. They had two of the region's best freshmen last year and may have the best freshmen class this year.

Whitley probably didn't look as good over the summer because some of them decided to play football.
