Got some information about the summer ball games being played at Lawrence county So far. Lawrence County lost to Wayne 62-60. Paintsville beat Wayne by 12 and Phelps by 20. I think Johnson Central plays Phelps and then Lawrence County this evening. Paintsville seems to be playing very well. I can see them and Johnson Central or Martin County playing against each other in the region championship. The region this year seems to go through the 57th.

That has been the case for many years now coming out of the 57th. JC had their run of dominance, Paintsville won in 2021, Martin Co 2020 & 2023 & Magoffin Co this year. 

It's be far the toughest district in this region, and would put it up there as tough as any in the whole state.

I agree. The 3rd best team in the 57th every year could probably be the best team in many districts in Eastern Kentucky. I don’t think you’ll see a region title go to a school that’s not in the 57th district for the next 5 years at least. 57th will always be the best district throughout the 14th, 15th, and 16th.
