To be honest, I think paintsville, hazard, and pikeville are a toss up every season. No one will really know who is the best until after the playoffs. Even then, the best team doesn’t always win. The year pikeville won it all, paintsville was clearly the best team in 1a imho. Kash Daniel’s injury was enough to turn the tide, and the rest is history.

You cannot forget Raceland I’m that 1A perspective. But we are talking about mountain teams though so I can see why they where left off.
The year Pikeville won it all, Paintsville and them where about as dead even as they come.( if healthy). But who knows how it would of played out.
