[HCS]

Tier 1 Hazard, Perry 
Tier 2 Breathitt, Knott (Could knock one of the two above off if they have a good night)
Tier 3 Doesn’t matter someone said it on here hands down worst region in the state. The rest of the teams have no chance.

Your “worst region in the state” comment is fairly common in most years but I think as far as analyzing regional competition to see who wins the championship the “worst” label is irrelevant. We all pretty much can name the 3 to 5 regions that the champion will come out of every year and rarely do the mountain regions get any consideration. But someone will still win the 14th and play in Rupp Arena in the Sweet 16, and proudly hang a banner in their gym. For the last 50 years only a handful of mountain schools have won the state championship….Clay County, Paintsville, Shelby Valley….and that’s a low percentage. 
So I’m not going to get all hung up on the statewide status of our region’s chances. I’m going to simply enjoy the battle within the region to see who can make it to Rupp Arena.

Yeah, no point in going over that again unless it's something about ranking the regions. It doesn't make Perry's trip to the state tournament any less important than any of the other 15.
I felt the same way about the comment on the official from a few years back in the thread about the new HCHS coach. He had nothing to do with any calls in that game.
