Harlan County vs South Laurel in the championship game. I think South will prevail in a close game, probably no more than 2-4 points.

Very close to what I'm thinking. But don't sleep on North. I think South dispatches of Bell, although I'll root for the Cats. Will be hard for Corbin to beat North three times. If North navigates their way past Corbin and Harlan County, they could find South waiting, which means South would have do the trifecta and beat the Cards for the third time. Never an easy task.
