I agree that getting a good draw can be very decisive in winning the region. Last year, I don't think anyone was beating Clay no matter what the draw - although getting Barbourville made things a little easier (not taking anything from Barbourville as they will be decent this year and have a good coach, but Clay was just on a different level last year). North will be similar this year; however, if they were to draw Corbin in the first round and face Vorbeck (or any pitcher that has a great night) on the hill, they could very well go down.

As far as Boggs & Epperson go, both are good kids and talented at all positions they play on the field. Neither are overwhelming or are D1 talent, but if they are on, they can beat any team in the region.

The Vorbeck kid at Corbin could very well play at a high level in college. He is a very talented player. He is one of the top 2 players in the region along with the Storm kid from NL.
