It's time to trim this list to the Fabulous Five.
Hazard is out. The injury bug has bitten them hard.
Frankfort is out. Losses to a mediocre Franklin Co. club, and a 6-4 First Baptist Academy (FL) does not bode well for them. Beechwood should win easily.
Russellville is out. They have not beaten one quality team. Mayfield will be ready for game 2 against them.

Don't count Hazard or Frankfort out just yet? Do not count your district foe neither.
Hazard has had key injuries each season except for last year. But don't count them out just yet because they are riding a 22 game win streak at home during the playoffs and are right now 23-1 under Coach Dixon at home. Hazard will be a hard out at home..

Frankfort is getting healthy and will be a hard out as well.i am sure those kids will play much harder against Beechwood than against there county rival. But let's be honest Beechwoods best wins are against Franklin County and Cov Cath who are nothing to what they were last year..

Mayfields best win is over Caldwell and there just a few points away from being undefeated.

Pikeville actually has a pretty good résumé as bad as I hate to say it. They are a good team can beat anybody on any given night.

The east is much improved from last year and I think who ever comes out of the east will keep it competitive..
