I was about to say the Rash kid at Belfry has the ball handling and shooting to be great. He works hard at his game and I think he is focused solely on one sport-basketball. He’s working on his skills and in the weight room. He’ll be as good as anyone around here in that age group. I want to see him be more physical and play better defense but that will come. He’s just a freshman but he’s a dandy. Cole Slone and Brody Little at Pikeville are already getting varsity minutes on a good team too. I look for those two to be fixtures/starters for the Panthers the next 3 seasons. Slone for JC is obvious and he’s going to be a star/already is. Brady Johnson at Valley is a player. Carter Parsons and Isaiah Allen for Betsy Layne. Chris Spriggs from Floyd Central is one of most athletic and quick guards around and can be great if he plays hard consistently and keeps his head. Braxton Keathley for Prestonsburg is excellent offensively but gotta play both ends and quit snow birding. I think he’s a great talent but has more to give. Plenty more but those stick out to me around 15th region. Ashland has a few. The Davis kid who is a sophomore is an incredible athlete. Boyd County has Spurlock who is the best of the all as a sophomore. One of the best sophomores in the state.
