I think Boyd County is eastern kentucky and they won the state championship a few years back. They produce a great team year in and year out. Yet in 99 pikeville beat them, and I think they won state the next year over Ballard with Jeremy Sowers, who is arguably the best pitcher this state has produced in the past 10 yeares. So needless to say Eastern Kentucky can compete with the rest of the state, and Pikeville can too. Maybe this year is different, but baseball is a funny game. I think Beechwood might have a great team this year too.

I had forgotten about Boyd County, so thanks for bringing that up. They are a rare exception for the most part, because other than them no other team can "consistently" compete down-state, and EKY can't compete with CKY teams year after year....Any given year a team with a .500 record in the 5-11th Regions can beat any of the top 3 teams from the 14th or 15th Region.
