I wouldn't say without a doubt. There going to have to go through the 57th first, and that ain't no cake walk. Personally I think Paintsville has their number and I think regardless if JC wouldn't have been the one to go to region last year, Lc wouldn't have won it anyway. I still believe that Paintsville would have beat them too.

Hard to say if anyone had anybody's number last year.

Again , I dont mean to be smart, but to me Paintsville has huge obstacles to over come in what they lost from last year. Paintsville lost way more than what some are willing to believe. We'll just call it denial. I think you are grossly overlooking the loss of Pugh and Sublett at the plate, and even more crucial is what you lost on the mound. The loss of Pugh, Miller,and Watkins on the mound to me is devastating. Take the time to check your stats on what these guys were responsible for. I personally think that Watkins was the #1 last year, regardless of popular opinion. Add Pugh and Miller to the equation and it looks to me that Paintsville lost perhaps as much as 50- 60% of the core of their pitching staff as far as production. Just an opinion.
