Hard to tell how JC will be overall this year. They are definately a region favorite along with Paintsville. Meek, Welch and the other JC players are very good ball players. But that doesn't mean they will win region. When they played together, Paintsville dominated them last year. But on the other hand, JC kept their act together and came away with the region title. So who knows?? Then if they don't watch, there are other teams in the region that could knock out JC or Paintsville. We'll find out soon enough.

But Johnson Central did beat them at Paintsville and played them fairly even in the district game. Some times things just happen like in the game at Central. Some nights you can do no wrong and then some nights you cant do anything right. I dont think that Paintsville was much different in that game than they were in the other two games when they played Central last year, as far as playing together, because I think they always want to win so bad that the jealousy stuff is abondoned, for one night anyways. Paintsville definately could do no wrong that particular night.
