Barbourville is a veteran team. Barbourville kids have played together for years now. Barbourville has a seasoned group of pitchers. But with all this said they have never beaten KC and IMO still will not be able to overtake them. The panthers lost 5 starters but pick up some solid young players and hold on to two of their three outfeilders in Helton and Elliott. And Bingham at second. 5 year starter, Tyler Gilbert will be behind the plate and more thsn likely on the mound this year against bville, with his arm looking better than ever. He has not had many starts on the mound but has been more than impressive when he has. For example, leading the Panthers to a win over a very good Whitefeild acadamy his sopohmore year, when his team was very similar to this years. The panthers will be able to win without king. The panthers will be 2-0 against barbourville and district champs once again when it's time for the regional tournament.

I agree with everything you said except for this. Gilberts Sophomore year was probably the best team he will have been on in his 5 years playing for Knox.
