13th Region Updated Rankings
#32
(01-01-2025, 12:46 PM)shottaker23 Wrote: Just my take but if you look at percentages the top 3 players in the 13th are Mabe, Buell, and Davidson.  And no HCS no slight on Huff but those 3 are much more efficient shooters and for the most part take 10 less shots per game. Teamwise I really think Bell is the best team in the 13th right now. Unlike last year when they played cupcake city they actually have played a ok schedule so far and done well with it--their problems will come against NL and SL size. SL has underwhelmed thus far--Point Guard play is a major concern at the moment--in my opinion they will have to change to make Mabe the PG at least half the time or they will not win Region. NL has the same problem great size but mediocre guard play. HC has won some very nice games buttttt are way to dependant on shotting from the perimeter plus with the volume shotting when(yes when not if) he gets in foul trouble where is the points coming from. Clay would be in the thick but only if they learned how to shoot free throws at crunch time. Corbin in my  opinion is still developing team chemistry....I can't say anything else because I get accused of hating on them...even though they are my home school lol. But keep in mind that Knox and Pineville have picked inseason transfers and will be very dangerous come region time. No one team is above by any margin in the 13th, every team has won a couple of games they shouldn't have and lost a couple they should've won. I'm still saying the Laurels will be the 2 best just because they have talent with size and no one else 
The way I read into your thinking, HC depends on Huff more than Bell Co depends on Buell or SL depends on Mabe or NL depends on Davidson.
That’s correct, they do.
You can’t just look at stats and say someone is or isn’t the best player. You have to watch the players actual play. Huff draws some much defensive attention its almost unfair to him as a player. If any of the other players received that same attention, they wouldn’t score double figures. He hits shots no other player in the region can. 
Huff and Davidson are the top two players easily. They do things in scoring on all levels and handle/pass on another level. Buell will be there, he is just a sophomore. He will be the class of the region soon. Mabe is a good overall player. But I don’t understand your take on him being the best player in the region. Huff was the only All-State selection from the 13th region last year. And if you want efficiency, he hit over 100 3pt shots last year while shooting 45% from 3 against arguably the best schedule in the state. No one in the state did that against that level of competition. That’s a fact, not opinion. 
As for the team rankings. All teams have issues. HC hasn’t had Cottrell healthy since the WYMT. SL and NL have played good teams and are in the running as the best team. Bell is a contender, but they haven’t played a game outside of the 13th region boundary with half their games at home. Corbin will be Corbin at the end of the year. I would be fine with Bell being ranked #1 right now. But I feel they have more to prove. The schedule is misleading. If I had to pick three teams that when healthy that has the roster/experience/coaching to win 3 regional tournament games come March. That would be SL, Corbin and HC.
