I wasn’t necessarily talking about the rankings but out of curiosity which rankings were you referring to?

1.Hazard 
2. Breathitt co
3. PCC
4. KCC
5. Leslie co
6. LCC
7. Wolfe co
8. Powell co
9. Jenkins 
10. Estill co

Top 3 seem to be the class of the region & one of them will make it to Rupp, overall I think the region is down from years past. Sleeper team is Jenkins in my eyes and should be better than 9th in the region, I think LCC can play with anyone due to new players coming back out to play & kcc can make noise depending on who is and who’s not playing for them this year. Interesting to see who breathitt plays in the semis but they’ll see either Perry or hazard barring a huge upset.

Not sure if this is coaches or media poll, just what I was shown.

It’s supposedly a coaches poll. But when cats pawse comes out, it will be based off start of the summer. Coaches either submit their stuff on their team and their teams change by time it’s out. Or if they don’t respond they do a write up based on last year. So often it’s about players not even there anymore.

Cats Pause picked the regional champion correctly last year, picked the regional runner up correctly, picked the final four correctly and the top eight were the eight teams in the regional tournament.
I've done the write up for 30 years. It's not based on last year. I call every coach in the region if I don't see them in summer ball. The story is written in June and July but we try to update when school starts if someone moves.

I love the publication and have gotten it for years. I guess I was basing some on personal experience with my kids on teams in other regions.  I’m sure the top teams and rankings were always pretty accurate.  Some of those teams I’m referring to im sure the coaches never responded and every year they’d include players no longer there. But no fault of whoever was doing the research if it’s not that high profile, how could you really know? Still think it’s great. I will have to start reading the 14th again more now that I have reconnected with the area.  Sorry didn’t mean to bash it at all, was more responding to thoughts someone had of why certain lower teams were ranked so high thinking it’s probably based on stuff from last year and from summer ball and things at certain places change a lot bw june and October 15th.
