Couldnt agree more CH. Paintsville has won 9 of their last 12 by a total score of 69-34. Their bats have come alive as of late, and more importantly their pitching has been very consistent. This bunch is capable of beating anybody in the region on any given night. Belfry will be a darkhorse in the tournament also. With all the hype over the Pikeville and Lawrence County programs (rightfully so) Belfry has put together a pretty decent season, and are always tough come tournament time. Remember they were the runner up last year in the region to Pikeville, and they were mercied if I'm not mistaken. That could prove to be a little motivation for the Pirate bunch to prove that they belong with the upper echelon teams in the 15th.
