[UK#24]

1. Letcher Central - I'm going with the depth of Letcher as my #1 team. Letcher will have 7 seniors who can all play. Cheyanne Stidham (Sr.) is a top 10 player. But Kim Meade (Sr.) and/or Kristina Bentley (Sr.) could beat a team on any given night. Also Courtney Brock (Sr.), Sara Baker (Sr.), and Kelly Adams (Sr.) are all pretty solid as well. Senior driven team with a great coach in Coach Adams.

2. Leslie County - Leslie returns every player from their 20-12 team in 2013/14 season. Katie Moore (Sr.) is the best player in the region IMO coming off a 24 PPG Jr. year. Brook Asher (Sr.) and Madison Combs (Jr.) both also averaged double-digits last season and look to help Moore led the Lady Eagles to a title. Emily Griffith (So.) is another player to look out for this season. Really Leslie should be my 1B team in the region.

3. Breathitt County -Everyone in the region will have a hard time matching up with Breathitt's size and physical play. Carissa Hatton (Sr.) will be a miss-match for everyone. Olivia Bates (So.) is another solid player for the Lady Bobcats.

4. Powell County - Shayla Lindon will be asked to fulfill the role of Rogers from last season but Lindon has a solid supporting cast around her. Powell will play as hard as anyone in the region.

5. Perry Central - Perry lost more than anyone else in the region from last years team but Coach Napier knows how to win. There is no replacing Kayla Rankin but Whitney Evans (Sr.) is as good of a PG as there is in the region. Allie Sizemore (Jr.) and Perri Coots (Sr.) will step into bigger roles and Morgan Eddington (Jr.) and Tori Watts (Sr.) will be players to look out for this season.

6. Knott County- The future is bright for the Knott County Lady Patriots. Knott only lost 2 players from last years 18-13 team. I think Fallon Slone (Jr.) and Kristen Waugh (So.) will both average double-digits in points this year. Knott has some great middle schoolers coming up as well. Look for 8th grader Jada Higgins to see big minutes on Varsity this year.

7. Jenkins - Whitney Creech (Jr.) will led Jenkins to a lot of victories in 2014/15. Creech will also led the state in scoring but I think the loss of Boggs will hurt their chances of being a top 5 team.

8. Estill County - I love Brian Hall as the new head coach and Kennedy Flynn (Sr.) is a great player who no one really talks about. Flynn averaged 29 PPG last year. Estill also returns Bethany Hall (Sr.) 10 PPG and 6 RPG last year.

9. Buckhorn - Returning Kansas Rice (Sr.) 13 PPG and 8 RPG. Also returning Maidson Couch (Jr.) 12 PPG and Hanna Gabbard 7 PPG and 5 RPG. I believe Buckhorn is tougher than Hazard and can give Perry all they want.

10. Hazard - Kelsi Caudill (Jr.) is a top player when healthy, Susie Chaney (Sr.) and Hannah Webb (Sr.) are returning starters. Destiny Walker (Fr.) is going to be a solid player in the future for the Lady Bulldogs.
