Sv will be very solid and I think will be the overwhelming favorite to win the 15th next season. I think they will be more mature and getting Newsome back will make a huge difference..I think they really missed him when he went out this season and I hope he comes back strong next season...

I agree, I think the loss of Newsome is what eventually kept SV from going back to Rupp this season. Despite playing in Ashley Hatfield's shadow, he had gotten off to a very good start this season and was the main reason Valley was able to knock off Louisville Male. His contributions were sorely missed, and while Valley was still able to beat most area teams without him, his absence was simply too much to overcome against a team like Paintsville.

Here's hoping he makes a full recovery and comes back ready to blow the doors off next year...
