When ranking, look at pitching depth, offensive production and strength of schedule through two weeks.
1. Knox Central - 3 very solid pitchers and defending Champs.
2. Corbin- 2 solid pitchers and maybe the best defensive team in region. Not a great offensive team..
3. Whitley Co. - average just a little over 8 runs per game. Maybe the best offensive team in region. Time will tell!
4. North Laurel - will start catching there stride once basketball players get in baseball mode. Maybe the team to beat come Region time!
5. Clay Co- solid pitching and hitting will catch up soon.
6. South Laurel- Coach Smith still finding his groove and playing a strong schedule.
7. Williamsburg, Jackson Co. Middlesboro, Barbourville and Harlan Co. Week 5 will start to see separation with these teams
