* Boyd County has a fierce rivalry with Ashland. Can the Lions finally topple their nemesis when the title is on the line?

* Last year, Fleming, Rowan, and Morgan emerged as strong contenders. Can they maintain their momentum and challenge Ashland and Boyd County for the championship?

* Russell's young Devils have a reputation for being fierce competitors. Are they ready to make a statement and upset the top teams?

* The Carter County 'Civil War' between West and East is always intense. Is West poised to reclaim its dominance over East?


1. Boyd County- 4 returning starters, best team in the Region for the past two years, Won 5 of the last 8 games played per Khsaa website. They also have the best player in the Region in Spurlock. The 6'8' transfer has added size to compliment great guard play.

2. Ashland-3 returning starters. 4 new transfers, 6 straight regional titles, Won 3 of the last 8 games vs Boyd per Khsaa website. Carter is a very good player and a close second as the best player in the Region. Will be the front runner for 16th region player of the year.

3. Russell- Everyone returning and the addition of a couple of transfers. They can beat either Boyd or Ashland if playing well and the other does not. Still young but getting better every year. They will be out to prove themselves this year.

4. Lewis - Returning 3/4 starters and have a very solid big in Noble and PG. Again, if coach slows it down and they are hitting. They can be a sleeper.

5. Fleming- Hickerson and Jolley are very solid players and will give Carter a run for his money for the Region player of the year. Both kids play extremely hard and are competitors. I don't know if they have enough depth.
Zander Carter is not a “close second” to anyone in the region. He’s the best player in the region by a good stretch.

Numbers and win and losses don’t support your opinion.

Moved? Still lives in Ohio!

You can’t see the forest because of all the trees!
I think he must also run sports talk 16th region on X as well. That opinion with statistics as well. Head to Head last two seasons BC has won 5 of the last 8 games. That looks like the better team jmo
6X Regional Champs looks like the better team to the rest of the planet!  JMO!  Lol

3-1 and 2-2 previous two season. That’s not opinion. That’s reality. If the District champion only went into the region tournament then Ashland wouldn’t even have made it the past two seasons.

You better keep asking what the transfer and recruitment rule is. Lol sounds like your school is about to be in trouble.  Again.
Seasonal play is nice but the mark of the best team (in most cases) is the team that ends up in the Sweet 16, something Ashland has accomplished 6 straight years. Winning when the ultimate pressure is on the line is a better measuring stick than the regular season. That’s just my humble opinion though.
