[X's and O's]

I know someone would bring that up.... BUT I've seen Knott play and their bats aren't that good...... Let's take a look at who they've scored on and played....

17 on Betsy Lane (1-9)
13 on Shelby Valley (3-9)
10 on Allen Central (5-10)
11 on Cordia (4-10)
18 on Jenkins (2-11)
13 on Cordia (4-10)

Don't get me wrong Knott is a good team Just don't think I trust those bats against good pitching and fielding in the regional tournament.... BUT Knott does have the best pitching in the region....

I know the pitching matchups can make a difference but if you compare teams both have played, Paintsville, Prestonsburg and Allen Central. Knott has beaten all 3 including Paintsville when they threw Jackson, who is a very good pitcher. Powell lost to Paintsville and P'burg. Who has Powell looked that impressive against offensively?
Cordia 14
Owsley 39
Buckhorn 19

I'm not knocking Powell, they are a good team and will be there come Region tourney time and some will have to beat them. I believe when/if Powell and Knott play it comes down to who performs that game. I see it being a 1 run game either way. Hazard, Estill and Letcher can not be counted out.
