[ImagineThat!]

This is at this time, but things could and probably will change weekly:

1. Johnson Central - disregard the couple hiccups, they'll be tough once everyone is healthy
2. Paintsville - they always seem to find a way to be in the mix tournament time
3. Phelps - very talented, senior-laden team...However, IMO, I think this team may implode as the season progresses
4. Shelby Valley - Watch for them to move up quickly. I predict they make a lot of noise in the tournament and very possibly win it.
5. Pike Central - a talented team that has a lot of tournament experience, still have to prove they can do it night-in and night-out
6. Sheldon Clark - young team that can cause a lot of trouble on any given night...they've proven that already
7. Betsy Layne - pulled it together toward the end of last year and could very well do it again...look for them to move up
8. Magoffin County - I'm not sure what they have...from what I remember they are relatively young, but they have been playing well
9. Pikeville - Don't know much about them right now
10. East Ridge - see above...these two could flip

IMO, any of the top 8 could beat each other on any give day.
