Please don't forget that the 11th region is yet to be held. I assume that Madison Central will win the 11th region small division. I haven't seen Pike Central but I really can't imagine them beating Madison Central in the small division(assuming that MC wins region). Unless PC has team standing back tucks, they won't touch MC. Also Madison Central will be the "cleanest" squad at the entire competition. I understand your love for the 15th region, but I really don't see Pike Central in the top 5.

Also, I believe Belfry was in the bottom 5 in the state comp last year. Maybe they have improved, but there is NO WAY they will beat Dunbar. The medium division will be won by North Laurel. Pikeville's JV will place in top 5. It isn't nearly as difficult for freshman to lift 5th graders as it is for high school girls to compete. I really don't ever see Pikeville's white team winning KAPOS. I have heard several judges from around the state say they don't like for them to compete. It is not the same level of competition.

In the traditional category, I really believe Pikeville will win. GRC (12 time state champion) is down this year. I really think Pikeville can beat them. Also, Williamsburg didn't make it out of region. East Carter has a new coach, so I am anxious to see what they bring this year. If Pikeville has a clean routine they can beat GRC. Whether or not Kapos lets GRC lose this year is still unknown. Another by the way comment, the White squad has won four Kapos state titles under Mrs. W.

Two words for large Co-ed: GRAVES COUNTY
Good luck to all squads!

To start with, the squad is not JV. It is a junior high squad (6-8 grade). The fifth graders are on the AAU squad. School policy prevents the fifth graders from competing. As to the level of competition, they finished second last year competing against 4A schools who have ONE squad at their high school. You are talking about a class A school with two squads that can compete on the state level. And by the way, the school system tells them that they must compete in the KAPOS competition. Good luck to all EKY squads.
