I did a little research. The results are only as good as the records indicated on KHSAA.

Here are some key stats:

Win Loss Record
14th: 117-118 (46 losses by weakest 5 teams)
15th: 122-120 (32 losses by weakest 3 teams)
16th: 121-122 (48 losses by weakest 4 teams)

Regional Breakdown
14th v. 15th: 9-10
14th v. 16th: 6-5

15th v. 14th: 10-9
15th v. 16th: 11-13

16th v. 14th: 5-6
16th v. 15th: 13-11

Looks pretty even there. The overall win loss records are skewed with poor teams at the bottoms of each region. Here are the skewing teams:

14th Region:
Jenkins 0-10
Buckhorn 3-10
Jackson City 3-7
Breathitt Co. 3-7
Cordia 4-12

15th Region:
South Floyd 1-8
Shelby Valley 4-13
Prestonsburg 4-11

16th Region:
Rose Hill 1-11
Menifee Co. 1-13
Elliott Co. 2-10
Lewis Co. 1-14

The records against each region are good indicators, but we need to evaluate how many victories were against the poor teams listed above.

14th Region
44-11

15th Region
36-7

16th Region
40-8

Also, here is a breakdown of the top three teams (by victories) in each region versus the other regions:

14th Region
Leslie Co. 17-1 (Overall) 2-1 (vs. 15th ) 0-0 (vs. 16th ) 3-0 (vs. weak)
Letcher Central 12-7 (Overall) 5-1 (vs. 15th ) 0-1 (vs. 16th ) 5-0 (vs. weak)
Perry Central 11-7 (Overall) 1-0 (vs. 15th ) 0-0 (vs. 16th ) 2-0 (vs. weak)

15th Region
Pikeville 17-4 (Overall) 2-1 (vs. 15th ) 1-0 (vs. 16th ) 2-0 (vs. weak)
Sheldon Clark 13-6 (Overall) 0-1 (vs. 15th ) 3-2 (vs. 16th ) 3-0 (vs. weak)

16th Region
East Carter 17-2 (Overall) 1-0 (vs. 15th )1-1 (vs. 16th ) 6-0 (vs. weak)
Russell 16-9 (Overall) 0-0 (vs. 15th )1-0 (vs. 16th ) 3-0 (vs. weak)
Fairview 15-5 (Overall) 0-0 (vs. 15th )6-2 (vs. 16th ) 7-0 (vs. weak)

I'm not going to make any predictions on which region is stronger. You all look at the numbers and go from there. I'm not sure the numbers tell.
