I think the 15th looks very good this year. Lawerence with Blevins. Pikeville with Lakin. Paintsville has a very nice ball club. But i’ll be the first to say it right here. Watch out for Belfry as the sleeper team this year. They’ve took some bad losses on the year but also had a lot of in team struggles. One of their best players in Ashton Deskins has missed 6 games due to suspension this year. But they seem to have gotten things figured out at the tail end of the season. Now sitting at a record of 19-11, their last 5 games have all been decided on mercy rule. Including a game against one of your all’s top 4 teams Johnson Central. That game took place at JC and JC also threw their best guy is what I was told, that game ended 14-3 in the pirates favor and Deskins also went deep that game as well. Also both of belfrys games this year against paintsville were close ones. At Paintsville it was tied 3-3 in the 7th and Paintsville hits a walkoff to win it. And at home it was 3-0 in paintsvilles favor. both of these games were also earlier in the year. This team has a very good defense when they are playing well. and in my opinion they have one of the best shortstops in the region in Gage Fields. the Kid can play. Pitching is not very deep for them But deskins can throw it and also they have a very good arm with the Parker kid. But when their bats are on they are a scary team. But i watched their game last night against pike centeal which i know is not the greatest team in the world but it was 16-0 in the 4th inning and they were holding up runners to not score anymore. could’ve easily put up 20 plus runs last night. All i’m saying is watch out for the pirates in tournament play. i think this team can play with anybody.
