[HCS]

And this looks dead on too based on who should be back at each school. South with Collett, Steele and Morgan should be on top, Harlan Co. will be better than people think, had a lot of good players besides Green. Clay to me is the team that could really take a step up, everybody back plus hopefully the Asher girl will be healthy. Had a good year this year regardless of the district upset. North may not be quite as good as this year, but will only have one senior, so could be good by tournament time.

I think the 2-4 spots could go in any order. I would have had Clay until the collapse in the district. They haven't improved much but it will be a senior team next season, plus they did have a strong JV group. North, like HCHS, loses two very good starters, but North has some ground to make up, so I give HCHS the edge.
