1. Paintsville - I agree with Phelps and Miller back in lineup their offense will be equal to their pitching.

2. JC - Pitching is good but offense is questionable but may improve as younger players develop.

3. LC - Young pitching will keep them in most games.

4. Allen Central - should be here but who knows with that program.

5. PBurg - Just because they have best coach in region (cant believe he will be there much longer I know I would not if I had to deal with the football related problems/people that he does)

Rest of region - It will take half of the season to see which teams talent actually develops.

Pitching is always the key and JC along with Paintsville have it. Prestonsburg is definitely well coached and should always compete as long as Simpkins is there. Allen Cenral appears to have found some coaching stability but like you said you never know about that program. I remember they fired a coach after winning region in 2003.:lame: Good discussion guys. Keep it going!
