The next 5 games for South Laurel might be the toughest 5 game stretch for anyone in the state all year. Woodford, Harlan County, Great Crossing, Madison Central, Jtown all have been ranked in the top 25 most of the season and GC very well can be state champs in a few weeks. If South Laurel wants to prove they are legit without Steele it happens right now.

Bell County has established themselves as a true number 1, but the gap between them and 5 or 6 is tighter than ever. With the Knox win at Clay, it now becomes 7 spots. Bell has Corbin and at Knox left, and if they win those with the other games they will be 25-4. If he adds another game to get to 30 and go 26-4, im sure there hasn’t been a Bell County team have 26 wins in a regular season. I believe last year the record was broken at 24.

I disagree. I think you have Bell(the best team), HC(pretty close behind), Mabe(dangerous) , then a bunch of mediocre teams.  I doubt Corbin, Knox, North or Clay changes my mind in the next few weeks but we'll see.

I'm going to have to agree with you on this one. I really believe its a coin flip between those 3 teams and as always the region draw will be key. And its not just the next 5 its 6 out of the next 7 because they also added Boyd(and Spurlock who arguably is the best 26 in the state). I can see Bell beating HC again in the district finals and SL as the 1 drawing HC in the opening game of the region(yes just like last year)
