Knox and NorthernPulaski both handled Whitley. North Laurel was very down this year, South isn't traditionally very good. Not taking anything away from meece but New Harlan played and beat Northern Pulaski, I think they also played Belfry and they beat bell handedly, both teams played Corbin. Their schedule prepared them for the game. Regardless of what division they are in they are definitely in the discussion for top team in the state. IMO in no order the top 4 teams of any division are Northern Pulaski, New Harlan, Belfry, and Knox. I think all teams had one loss. I haven't saw the Louisville area teams so maybe Lockwood or someone up there has saw these teams and Newburg and Crosby and can compare. Newburg must have a pretty solid team with both 7th and 8th grade teams sitting in the final four.

Losing to New Harlan isn't anything to hang your head about but blaming injuries as what division they are in is just plain old excuses. One player doesn't make a 36 point difference. Injuries are part of the game.
