I totally agree that Lawrence is going to be strong again this year. They have a really good program and competed hard as a young team last year. It will be tough again for them though to get out of the region because like you said they will most likely have to beat both of the 57th district teams.

I think Paintsville is dangerous this year. Played a ton of freshmen and 8th graders last year but ended up in the regional championship game. If they can find some consistent pitching they are going to be really tough to beat.
