The 55th District should be an interesting contest this year. The Wolfe County Wolves have to be the favs after their performance in the Region last year, and Deron Terrill is a HORSE. However look for the Jackson City Tigers to be much improved under the guidance of new head Coach Karmit Back. They should be a lot more fun to watch this year with Pedro Sierra pushing the tempo. Keys to success will be the improvement of Josh Hollan down low, and whether or not Zack Gayheart can provide a consistent half court scoring threat. The Tigers need a consistent outside shooter to step up as well. Breathitt will also have a say in this District, but they will go one way or the other. They'll either win it or finish just ahead of the lowly Riverside Rams. They will have no shortage of athleticism with Taulbee Fugate and Haddix in the lineup, and Blue Terry will provide an outside shooting threat. If Nick Noble can get healthy and provide a consistent ball handler Breathitt could make some noise and go deep in the region.

That is a perfect pre-season analysis.
