Can we all agree that Wolfe County is the best team in the 14th region this coming season ?

I feel like anything short of winning the All A , District & Regional Championship will be a disappointing season.

Benny is coming in at the perfect time. Wolfe finally has the best team in the region , Wolfe is seasoned , they have a good pitching rotation , they have a good hitting lineup , they have defense. Wolfe County hosts the regional tournament , Lucas Miller will be hand picking the umpires.
Plus the 14th region is extremely weak compared to prior years.

If Wolfe County some how loses the regional tournament. Will the Wolfe County faithful be ready to fire Benny like they was Rigsby ? Or will he get the same homeboy treatment that Bull Creech gets ?

So if Wolfe was to win the District and All A next year, but lose the Region, that’s a disappointment? That’s a crazy statement to say it’s a disappointment. Lucas has been over umpires for a few years, what has it helped WC baseball? Name me an example. They are lucky enough to host region and All A, but how many times has teams not in Perry Co had to travel up the road to play Region tournaments? If WC was to catch a break and get a few good calls plus home field advantage, I say good it’s about time. 
 Rigsby left WC, he was not fired . He left for another job. He wasn’t about WC anyways, he was all about his travel ball teams. Proof being, one of his first social media posts from LCC was about his travel organization tryouts, plus he’s still using WC account just put LCC on it. We shall see how he does things up at LC compared to WC. Will he ride the bus to games with the players? Will he put in the time with the players or just let his assistants run practices? Will he make promises to his players only to break them if they don’t play travel ball for his organization? Benny is a WC guy who cares about his players. He’s already been involved with the kids more than Rigsby ever was involved. I guarantee if WC wins any region tournament this year that Benny Campbell will be on the bus with them to and from Richmond or Lexington , stay at hotel with them, and also be present at any activities that involves his players…. Unlike Rigsby who did none of those things with his players.  So good luck to Benny and his WC Wolves this coming season !!

I agree. Not like the region is watered down. I still say there will be multiple teams who can win it. And as we saw last year, it only takes one good game to knock off so called favorite to win it. Powell and Wolfe was everyone's hands down favorite and neither made it. Estill had no shot on paper, but won it.

Estill , Powell , Breathitt , Perry , Knott all lost a lot of players. So , yes. The region is definitely going to be watered down for a couple of years. It’s no one’s fault it’s just the cold hard truth.

All A ? Hazard should be the only team that can give Wolfe a decent game. Wolfe is the better team.

District ? Breathitt’s ace will be a freshmen this year. I think they lost 6-7 kids from last season. Will Jackson City even have a team ? So a district championship should be a walk in the park.

Region ? By the end of season I still think Hazard is the only team you all have to worry about. Wolfe should run the table next season without question.
