Im starting to agree with the Bell take that they may be the best team in the region. I saw them push around the same team(Little Morrow) that pushed Corbin around. One year in the weight room is really paying off. I always said if their toughness can match their skill they will be a tough out. Burnett is steady and Cameron Hall although he only had two points in the final is always steady. Those two never get rattled. Buell is always looking to attack and he is a load at 6'5". If Buell can continue to be tough down low when Bell plays NL and SL I think they can sure beat either. Bell's guards are so much better than any those teams have to offer. Pineville has to win before I can believe in them. Ive been watching two talented players for three yrs but it hasn't translated to wins yet. Puckett is a nice addition and I really think Beck would be a difference maker if he got eligible. Pineville better not sleep on Barbourville in that district. The tigers play hard and are well coached. Knox is a lot better with Summers but I still don't have them in my top 5. Im not sure what to make of clay. Their top three players are Jackson, wagers and grub. Roark doesn't have as big a role in the offense as he used to. Not sure what to make of it.

As far as Clay their was a ton of summer drama(if you know you know--if not watch WYMT) and you don't know which team will show up night to night, but at 56% free throw shooting as a team, you will not win many close games. I had heard that Pineville had gotten Beck eligible, guess not. Crazy how certain teams in the region can get a player eligible the next night but others can't lol.

Oh I know the drama from the summer. It would be foolish to think that hasn’t had a negative consequence. That kid once was dominant when he was at williamsburg. I hope he starts playing like he is capable again. Im rooting for him.
