this could be one of the hardest questions ever asked, all 3 have tough teams, 14th has hazard, breathitt, jbs, and powell. the 15th has shelby valley, and belfry. the 16th has russell and ashland blazer. all of these teams are tough and would make a good game if any would play each other. but im going to say the 14th is stronger because they have more teams that are making more noise this season. hazard is doing great, breathitt is on top of the 14th, jbs is on their tail, powell is right in the mix and i would say the 2nd team in the region behind breathitt. the 15th has shelby valley who is very very tough, they ahndled powell pretty good first scrimage of the year but i would say if they played again on a neutral court, it would be closer, powell beat belfry in the country music highway classic. the 16th region has russell and ashland blazer who seem to be the teams to beat in that region, but all the power teams that are contenders are in the 14th out of these 3 regions. look at the teams. the 14th is the only one that has 4+ teams that could actually win it, the others have maybe at most 3 that could make some good games.
