15th shaping up to be VERY competitive.

1. Pikeville has 3 excellent starting pitchers and is solid everywhere and will be very hard to beat. BUT

2-4 JC and Lawrence are excellent squads who can beat anyone on a given night and nobody wants Prestonsburg who lost at Pikeville by 1 and Boyd Co. by 2 recently while mercy-ing 2A champ Powell and beating Breathitt. They have played a VERY tough schedule. LOOK OUT.

5-8 Paintsville is dangerous. Belfry is playing better and have a few tough losses but have a couple pitchers capable of beating anyone. Floyd Central threw a 2-hit shutout to beat Belfry recently and Shelby Valley just beat Harlan Co. and Belfry.

15th regional tourney should be a lot of fun and wouldn't be surprised to see an upset or two. Pikeville better bring their A game and even that is no guarantee...
