Breathitt should be one of the top teams in the state. They should win the 14th easy

     I have to admit, I love the optimism. Something to keep in mind is that most years there is a huge talent gap between the 14th region and the rest of the state in basketball. I am curious as to when the last time a 14th region champ didn't get beat out in the first round of state playoffs?

Checked out the results going back to the 1999 season on the KHSAA website. 
2017- Perry Central beat Pikeville. 
2013- Knott Central beat Clay County.
2012- Knott Central beat Boone County. 
2008- Hazard beat South Laurel. 
2004- Perry Central beat Morgan County. 
2002- Whitesburg beat Wayne County.

Thanks for looking into it! I am somewhat surprised actually. I didn’t think that the 14th had even won that many times lol. 

On a side note though, the 2008 hazard team was tough.

I may be mistaken but if my memory serves me correctly, the 2012 Knott team had several freshmen on it that would go on to dominate the 14th region for their entire highschool careers. Cameron Justice, Simon Christon, and Evan Hall.
