Knox remains number 1 with their best players back from last year until they either fall apart, which they haven’t done or someone knocks them off the top of the mountain.. NL has a 5 star player and is the most likely team to do that, but until Shepherd and co. Prove on the floor they can beat Knox they stay ranked behind them IMO.. HC has a great player and some shooters and could get hot and make a long run in the postseason if they stay healthy and a couple of their bench players develop a little. SL is solid again, but lacking a little offensively IMO. I thought Bell could be a sleeper team but after beating HC at home they get blown out by 29 at Knox - ouch.. Knox has had one weird game, getting blown out by a Perry Central team that got blown out by HC, but are still the team to beat unless NL wins the King of theBluegrass  tourney and shows they are a different/much better team than they were late last year…. Should be a fun year in the 13th and should be a great region tourney…
