Pikeville is the heavy favorite on pitching alone. Lawrence lost their #1 starter to an injury, but they're solid and getting better each game. I think LC will be a solid #2 in the region by the end of the season, but I'm not sure they've got the horses to knock off Pikeville. Prestonsburg's #1 is pretty decent, but big dropoff after that. Lawrence crushed them at home. They won't be a factor. Floyd Central is bad. Paintsville is young and not very good. I've not seen JC or SV. Overall, this is the weakest I've seen the region in the last decade.
