In WYMT's defense, they tried to get other 15th region teams in it. I dont know about Paintsville, but I know they tried to get another one in it. If the schools dont want to get in the tourney, then there isnt any way that WYMT can force them to play.

I seriously doubt that Pikeville was the only 15th region team that wanted to play. I guess that's possible, but very unlikely.

It has been mentioned that Valley and Paintsville did not apply because they have other plans this year, and that's fine. But there are still many other teams from the 15th who would go down there and give a good showing (Betsy Layne, Pike Central, Johnson Central, etc.) who should have been given a chance. At least then it wouldn't be the 14th Region Invitational...
