It doesn’t seem like there is one dominate team going into the year but there are probably 5-7 solid teams. There’s going to be a lot of close, exciting games this year. The one team that could pull away from the pack is probably Pikeville. They won a lot of games last year despite a few of their kids being out.

How many seniors did Pikeville graduate from last years team? I know Martin co lost 2 of their key starters. Paintsville lost 1. As far as I know JC didn’t have a big man transfer in so not sure how we can rank JC over Paintsville. I believe Lawrence co graduated quite a few and Shelby Valley lost Potter. I would lean more with the top 4 pre season being 

Martin Co 
Pikeville 
Paintsville 
Johnson Central.

Yeah I don’t think Jc had a big man transfer in. The difference between JC and Paintsville last year was Nick Keeton (who graduated). JC had no answer for Keeton’s rebounding and physicality. So unless Paintsville had a big man transfer in they will take a step back imo.
