That is very true. I really think that you can throw Johnson Central in there again this year as you can Pikeville. Nobody is saying much about Pikeville, but they bettet not take them lightly. Lawrence can be beat without Fyffe or Blanton on the mound, because JC did it last year with freshman Nick Vance. Two years ago, after Johnson Central came off the final 4 season they were the team to beat with Adam Blanton and Corey Conley returning, but both were injured almost their entire senior seasons and JC never even made it out of the district. You never can tell what will happen.

JC returned a few other good players from that Final Four team too. That first round district game between Paintsville and JC featured the two best pitchers in the region goin head to head. Paintsville couldn't do anything wrong and nothin went right for JC. Paintsville came out on top and eventually lost to Pikeville in the region championship where Paintsville played about like JC did in the district game. You and OffTheHook are right, anything can happen, and that's what I love about baseball.
