1 Pikeville- Favorites simply via defeating Martin County earlier.
2. Martin County- Pre season favorites and defending champions.  Certainly as close to ranking 1A as they come.
3. Magoffin- Barnett can carry them all the way.  I think he will be focused in the postseason.
4. Pike Central- Can win it, but need someone to step up to help the big two.  Consistency has been a problem.
5. Lawrence- top level coach is getting the most out of these boys.
6. Betsy Layne- finally healthy, but really have been inconsistent all year.  Need some type of structure however as run and gun only goes so far.
7. Floyd Central- B. Moore being healthy means they are back to being a legitimate region contender.
8. Johnson Central- defensive issues abound, but the next three seasons look bright.
9. Paintsville- Young and dangerous. Expect them and JC to battle it out next three years.
10. Prestonsburg- Keep hearing the circus has come to town with the discord between just about everyone involved with the program.  Keep it together and they can win.
11. Shelby Valley- They play great in spurts, but they are a hard team to figure out.  Should be better than this.
12. Phelps- Weddington makes them look like an above average team by himself.  Maybe he can draw in some future talent too.
13. East Ridge- Keene has been the star and Damron has stepped it up, but they need help.
14. Belfry- A large school that no one wants to play for?  Need a culture change asap.

This is a spectacular break down and got it down to a tee for each team.
