South Laurel, and Harlan County will be the top dogs this year until someone proves otherwise. I find it astonishing that Clay County isn't mentioned more. They only lost 3 seniors last year and return an experienced squad. The bats of the duo Tanner Hensley and Cory Corum will be missed this upcoming year but defensively they have kids with speed to replace Corum in Centerfield and Hensley at Third. Also Tanner Hoskins, and Tyler Allen should replace Justin Smith on the mound because of their gain of experience last year with Smith being out due to Injury. In my personal opinion I think Hoskins has the potential to be one of the best in the Region this year.
