Wolfe should be the favorite going into the season but with the 14th region you never know how it will play out in the end. 2020-2021 should be an exciting season of basketball.

Wolfe
Losing Brewer will sting BUT they return their top 6 scorers with Johnson, W. Tolson, Thompson, E. Tolson, Ritchie and Peyton. Basically have the same team that lost in the region final by 6 in OT. I feel like they are the favorite going into next season?

Hazard
They lose 3 of their top 4 scorers in Hall, Johnson & Fletcher. Fletcher also led the team in rebounding with Hall right behind him. Johnson led the team statistically in three point and free throw shooting. Losing basically their entire front court, possibly the best in the region, will be TOUGH to replace. They do return their leading scorer and one of, if not the, best player in the region with Pelfrey and also return Napier, Ford and Turner who were solid players.

Perry
They lose 3 of their top 4 scorers in Reed, Cornett & Fugate. Reed also led the team in rebounding with Cornett right behind him. Losing Reed will be a BIG loss. That is their top scorer, rebounder and defender. They do however return their second leading scorer in Duff along with Beverly, Brock & Day plus the big boys McAlarnis, McKenzie & Mullins. They all have big game experience and will be solid. Just stating a fact here but you have to go all the way back to the 2010/2011 season to find a PCC team that didn’t have a “transfer” on it so we’ll have to see how that plays out this summer.

Knott
They return their top 3 scorers who are very solid players in Napier, Damron & McGuire (leading rebounder). They lose Jason Williams who was a solid player and second on the team in rebounding. They’ve got a couple young guys who will be able to step up and contribute as well.

Estill
They return 4 of their top 5 scorers with Napier, Long, Isfort and Click BUT they lose Mr. Do It All with Benton who led the team in scoring, including three point and free throw shooting and also led the team in rebounding and was no doubt a great leader on the floor and locker room.

Leslie
They return their top 5 leading scorers and rebounders in Day, Hensley, Abner, Baker & Asher. Some of those guys will need to improve their game this summer in order to compete for a district and region title but don’t count them out. Their biggest issue will be developing a bench.

Breathitt
They lose their leading scorer and three point shooter in Fugate but return a solid bunch with Slaughter, O’Hara, Turner, Bellamy, Hoskins & Sperry. The Bobcats will have a nice team returning.

Buckhorn
They lose a solid player in Blank but return their top 3 scorers with Collins, Bowling & Knight. Stidham also returns who is solid along with three point specialist Nick Whitaker.
