They also lose Logan Bryant, who never ever got any credit for what he done. They have NO bench!, You said it yourself in your post. Top 10 teams contend for a state title, unless your from central kentucky, when you can have two or three top 10 teams in your region at any time.

Varney can't shoot by any means, but does hustle, tends to get excited. Hatfield played below expectations this year. Tyler is decent, but not above average. Taylor will be a force next year, IMO.

I agree with you about Logan Bryant, he was definitely the unsung player on last year's team. His heart and intensity will be hard to replace.

However, I disagree with your assertion that "top 10 teams contend for a state title". I think that SV could be a top 10 team next year, even though that have absolutely NO shot at a state title. By that I mean they wouldn't be able to get past either Holmes or Scott County. But, I believe they can hang with any other team in the state, even if they may not win.

IMO, with a favorable draw, including both Holmes and Scott Co. on the other side of the bracket, it's not inconceivable that SV could get hot and make a run to the state title game (West Jessamine almost did it last year). But if SV draws either of those two in the first round, then they're good as gone.
