[Slim one]

Ok, i am bored ill admit it. so i wanted to kind of give a report card for the 14th region midway through season.  So without further adue heres my midseason report card for who i think are the contenders in the 14th region..

1. Breathitt county, coming into the season, i knew they would be competitive but thought they lost to much to win this region. And all they have done is already win All A in the 14th and are looking like the best team.  Sperry has been Sperry, but the role players have been excellent thus far with Hamilton, Gross, Terry and Bellamy really all playing terrifiic, if they keep that up Breathitt can very easily repeat as champs. 

2. Hazard. a lot like Breathitt, i knew theyd be competitve but thought they too lost too much to win region, and here they are 12-2 and playing great. Al Holland showing why he is the best coach in the mountains..  Seth Caudill and Eversole has stepped up huge, but its the role players, higgins, Ratliff, Ramey that have been the difference..   Depth will be the biggest issue for the Dawgs come region..

3. KCC  i felt they were the favorite coming into the year but so far they have somewhat struggled, nice wins over pikevile and pike central early then they took a step back with some questionable losses like letcher at kcc, with that being said, i still believe they have the team to win the region led by Jayden Huff and Hunter Haddix, those two have played really good so far, it will come down to Slone and the supporting cast to decide how far the Patriots will go in region..

4. PCC  they too lost a couple big pieces but i felt they returned enough to win the region and they played well early but have fallen on hard times lately with a losing streak and the loss of Beverly, they will have to rely on the young kids to give big minutes and produce, i think Woods, Slone and Castle are offensively enough to win the region, but defensivley perry is the worse of these 4 teams, will be interested to see the matchup with KCC and the rematch with hazard to see if the commodores belong 

I think these are the only 4 teams capable of winning this region, and as of now its between Breathitt and Hazard with KCC and PCC looking in..  Good luck to all teams..

Very good recap I think. I thought Perry had the edge coming into this season with Breathitt, Hazard and Knott trailing in that order. I thought Breathitt had a chance to be pretty good toward region time, Hazard is always right there and I never bought all the Knott bluster. Breathitt has been a pleasant surprise for me and I think any of these 4 teams could win the region. But, if Breathitt’s starting 5 all start playing their best every game, I think they have the edge.
