1.) South Laurel: Ramey and Cromer.
2) Knox Central: they return a lot of players.
3.) Corbin: they return Sanders, Maguet, and Matthew Taylor. Taylor played well in the region title game.
Since Harlan County, North Laurel, Lynn Camp, and Jackson County all lose several good seniors I would put Clay 4th just because they return so many players from this year, but it’s just a mess over in Manchester right now. Of course these rankings will probably change after this summer’s free agency period...

Summer ball will be key, how mature and talented a couple of Whitley's incoming freshmen will help them as they could be the sleeper team next year, a few talented kids returning also with one who should be a top 3 player in region next year. Looking forward watching our freshmen this summer compete. Hopefully a couple of kids that will be seniors next year will return to the hardwood also and if that happens Whitley should definitely be a contender.
