AB Combs, Eversole, RW Combs, SMS, and South Laurel are all scheduled to make the trip from Eastern Kentucky. South Laurel has won several tournaments at the Sportsplex and will be a tough team to knock out of the tournament. SMS won the 14th Region Middle School Tournament and is one of my favorites to win the state tournament, Eversole (Hazard) was the Runners-Up. AB Combs won the Perry County Grade School Tournament and RW Combs was the Runners-Up. I think these 5 teams will have a good showing at the state tournament and like I said, they are all scheduled to make the trip as of right now and all of them are capable of going very deep into the tournament. I think SMS and South Laurel have a shot at winning it, however there will be several good team in the tournament and a few great teams that I haven't had the previledge watching so I wish all the teams the best of luck and have a great 3 days of basketball. Good luck to all teams.
