Mountain Top Ten preseason predictions

LOOKAYANNER Wrote:Lol, I’m just kidding more than anything. But if it is only WYMT to make it more clear the “Mountain Top 10” should have The “WYMT” in it also. I understand now but the first time I saw that it did confuse me because to me all schools in eastern Kentucky are mountain.
To be honest I wouldn’t know exactly where to place Elliott if they were in the “Mountain Top 10. They’d probably be somewhere in the top 3. They’re the pick by most in their region to win the 16th.

I think WYMT has laid claim to the "Mountain" designation.

I've worked for WYMT and vote in the poll every week. My list up there is what I submitted for the preseason poll.

WYMT basically uses regions 13, 14, and 15 but they cover Rockcastle and Pulaski counties as well.

Some folks in the 12th and 16th can pick up WYMT on cable, but it's a fringe area for the station.

But I'm with you, when I think mountains I think east of I-75 and city slickers need not apply

I understand what you’re saying but I don’t understand the CJ’s reasoning to label one section of the mountain schools “Mountain basketball” and the other mountain schools in east and northeast Ky something else.



Northeastern Kentucky
Eastern/Southeastern Kentucky and the mountains have always been synonymous. I just don't see how you could be near Ohio and have any connection to places like Harlan County.

I get your point for the counties close to Ohio, but Elliott, Morgan, Rowan, Menifee and several more 16th region schools aren’t close to Ohio.

It’s no big thing. Just something I’ve noticed over the years.

Mountain basketball to me is any school that’s located in an area that has mountainous terrain. However, I do understand the WYMT designation of their coverage area. They even add Pulaski as “Mountain” and it most definitely isn’t but that’s ok.
