Think Paintsville has the batting, the pitching and the defense.

Poe and Hyden not playing will hurt but Paintsville still has plenties of individual talent. Paintsville D should be great in the OF and good on the infield. Their offense should be pretty good. 

Lawrence County has the best arm in the region by a good margin but that’s not their only arm. People will be very surprised IMO. LC defense will be great. Their D will be very very good. Catcher, first, 2nd, SS, 3rd, and CF will all have plus defenders. LC sticks will be good. Will they be as good as Paintsvilles? Not sure but they will hit the ball well.

LC may have the best arm in the region but don't think it's a wide margin. JC has a couple good ones and Lakin from Pikeville is pretty good as well.

Lakin is probably the closest to Blevins when he’s healthy. JC has Lemaster who is solid other then him I can’t think of anyone they have close to Blevins. Belfry got a transfer from Mingo Central that’s pretty good. If every pitcher in the region pitches their best game no one is close to Blevins. That’s just a fact. Now these are HS kids and they will have off nights and they will get beat.

You and everyone else on here can “lol” at the comment if you want. Facts are (it’s been proven, shot in fact Blevins was voted most outstanding pitcher in the whole entire Midland summer organization last summer that includes their 18u club and if you know anything about that organization you know what that means) if Blevins and every other pitcher in 15th pitch their best games Blevins is the best pitcher by a good margin in the 15th. That’s not saying he can’t have a off game and be beat. Their kids they all have off games. But if everyone is at their best Blevins comes out on top. Not saying they’re not other really good pitchers in the 15th because they are. But Blevins is #1 until proven otherwise, Not sure how this is even a argument?
