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. 

Well said. Those same people are the first to start hyping up kids as "D-1" prospects when in reality, if they got an offer from nearby Alice Lloyd it would be a great accomplishment. I know ALC has had a lot of 14th region talent go there and do well, but they've also had their fair share of 14th region signees either quit, or never get off the bench. 14th Region fans love to overhype and overrate.
