7th grade I would say Johnson Co. Last year they beat Rose Hill 63 - 23 in the Middle School State and beat Northeast Ky Royals 48 - 18 in the AAU State. But, Rose Hill may have added some players this year. Also, last year they had wins over Rosspoint, Virgie, Paintsville, Betsy Layne, Salyersville, Pikeville, Wayne Co, Lincoln Co, Scott Co. and went 8 - 3 against Hazard. This year they are 2- 0 against Hazard and beat Sebastian by 38 at Sebastian. That is the only 3 games in which all the 7th graders played. Letcher is pretty good when they combine.

As far as 8th grade I have watched mostly 14th and 15th regions. I would say that Hazard(at full strength), Sebastian and Betsy Layne are 3 of the top teams.

Virgie also beat Hazard ,And Sabastian,beat Sabastian by 29 to win the bci Thanksgiving tournament,Lost to Besty Layne by 11 in the Rax Tournament.
