Very solid list in my opinion and go look at each team who they played and amount of points each team won by.

To me paintsville can’t be 1. They’re a very talented team with a lot of potential but until they play a top dawg like MC, Pikeville, or PC they can’t be 1.

Paintsville beat Perry County who beat Martin co.Martin co beat Pikeville. Pike central got beat by Martin co and  Betsy Layne is how I came to this decision. After pike central beat pikeville they may need to be higher but season still young.

Martin Co beat huntington express prep by almost 40 if memory serves me correct and paintsville lost to them.....Martin Co also had shelby valley down by over 40 with a running clock and paintsville barely put them away... Paintsville very well could beat martin co on a bad shooting night but the cards win this game 19 out of 20 times....

lol! Huntington Prep didn’t have their best player against martin that played paintsville (#1 ranked 2027 in WV and also plays in the EYBL) Please do some research before saying stuff lol. Martin barely beat a bad rowan team and lost to a down perry team. There will be another 2022-23 season losing streak for them this season but this time they will not make it out of it and they won’t win the region.

This right here is one of the most moronic statements ive ever heard......Martin co is currently playing the best basketball in the region... I havent looked at everyones numbers but martin co probably has the biggest margin of victory of anyone in the 15th region at over 22 points per game. Martin co has been in the region finals 3 out of the last 5 seasons and won 2 of them. I dont believe we are talking about the same huntington team here.... according to max preps they have the best 4 players in WV on the team...Martin Co and paintsville both played their JV high school squad, not the national team. Not a single player on that team could start for MC. This is absurd... You need to quit riding, Paintsville has a good team, not knocking that at all, but martin co has the most complete team in the region and barring some kind of major setback will win region for the 3rd time in 6 years. By the way paintsville has lost 3 games and MC has lost one... your ranking theory makes you sound like a 15yr old kid trying to argue about your favorite team.
