3. Breathitt County
4. Harlan County
5. Johnson Central
6. Hazard
7. Whitley County

8. Rockcastle County
9. Perry Central
10. Knox Central

That looks about right.

How about listing teams of each class in the mountains that have legitimate shots at district and regional titles and go from there....

Williamsburg
Pikeville
Harlan

Somerset
Pburg
Leslie County

Who else would you put on the list as true contenders or who would you take off the list?

I don't think Powell will have the season this year as they did last year. They lost too much. Here's everyone they lost (Position Wise)

1 - Kicker
2 - TE (Conner and Tarver)
2 - RB (D. Taulbee and Dennis)
2 - FB (Lane and Trent)
2 - WR (R. Goodwin and Johnson)
6 - OL (Joslin, Rose, Sheffield, F. Spencer, Lu. Spencer, A. Taulbee)


Here's the other defense positions:

2 - DE (Conner and Tarver)
2 - LB (D. Taulbee and Trent)
2 - S (Dennis and R. Goodwin)
1 - CB (Johnson)
7 - DL (Joslin, Rose, Sheffield, F. Spencer, Lu. Spencer, A. Taulbee, Lane)
1 - Punter

Total - 16 (All those players played both Off and Deff.) (Including the Transfer to Pike Central)

Powell County also lost their starting QB to Pike Central.

2012 will hit the Pirates even harder as they lose 17 more seniors
