[Panther Thunder]

Without the benefit of knowing the draw:

1. Johnson Central- Good team, needs a good outing from their starter.
2. Lawrence County- Struggles in big games offensively, Sound pitching.
3. Pikeville- Very dangerous Offense even without McDonald, Good Defense, big question is pitching- the ability is there, but needs to be shown.

4. Belfry- Tough game for anybody, very scrappy team.
5. Pike Central- Can really come alive when they are on. Pitching can be good, defense needs to prove itself.

6. East Ridge- Decent on both offense and defense.
7. Allen Central- From what I've seen is solid defensively, decent offense, needs to put a whole game together to win.
8. Prestonsburg- Struggles defensively, below average offense. Needs to get some help from whoever they play, be it walks, errors, base running miscues, etc..


A lot depends on the draw, with pitching decisions to be made.
