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.

Did I say that their trip would be any less than anyone else’s? No I did not, did I discredit if any of the teams won a region? Nope sure didn’t do that either. “Worst region in the state” is 100% adequate to say because some delusional people over in that neck of the words think they can compete at the state level. Just cause you don’t think it doesn’t mean other people don’t, no one ever discredited any of the teams winning a region so try again. Lastly, it’s pretty sad you don’t care about your region “statewide status” might be why it’s in the shape it is. I’m sure the “3 to 5 regions” you mentioned don’t have that mindset. Going all the way back to 2015/2016 looks like the above logic other regions don’t really use.
