Let’s think in this top 10 perspective….

1) we are in the worst region in state hands down for boys basketball. 

2) anyone past hazard Breathitt Knott Perry in no order is not a contender

3) anyone below those 4 is not a “dark horse” that isn’t a real thing in the worst region in state the term itself if in a region where their are legit 8/12 teams that can win IE city regions and someone comes out of the blue has a great tourney run 

4) our region is predominantly top heavy with those 4 yearly being in some order of the final 4 or championship besides few runs from Estill LCC and that’s about it both those places are done for a while 

5) gross Terry Sperry are the only 3 that can even be in convo when it comes to competing with hazard and we are still a long way from that based on summer 

6) more kids on a team doesn’t equate talent or winning if they didn’t play for their old coach they prolly are not good enough or impactful to make a difference i don’t recall LCC being the place for hoopers just walking the hallways yearly since its inception besides Cam Justice who they ran off I do think LCC made a good hire with Noble 

7) Jenkins I agree with will be the best they have been in a long time with the Hayes transfer and returning for his 6th 7th or whatever year Sexton kid is 

8) gross isn’t leaving us that is insane to think you would leave a region contender out the blue senior year and he is close friends with the best player we have they are together daily 

9) Estill Lee Powell are not in contention for anything rebuilding years for sure Wolfe keep Creech was big but again the head coach will do what he always does there with talent LESLIE will be the shocker of the region if they stay healthy to be a good team but still no shot at hazard Perry Knott or us but as far as a “dark horse” it is definitely KNOTT if they stay healthy they return 4 of 5 starters to a region final 4 team 

10) Sperry is still the best player in region but much as I despise saying it Hazard will be a tall test if they stay healthy and together
