I'm pretty sure you said earlier they were going to be competitive this year and be very good next year.
You didn't answer my earlier question about Harlan County. You are off the bandwagon now and have Pulaski as the regional favorite?

We WOULD have been competetive this year if not for all the injuries, and I truly believe that. When you lose Mills, Hooper, and 3 others within the first two weeks of play, what do you expect?
I think with a 100% healthy Whitley team, there a lock for the 2 seed in the district, and would have had wins over Clay, Knox, and Bell and would be sitting at 3-3 right now.
And i still believe Whitley will be the favorite next year. Many will disagree, but I know how much this team brings back, and how little they lose. Whether or not the same coaching staff is in place could jumble that up, but I still think WC will be a favorite over HC next year with PCC and LCC gaining little ground.

As for Pulaski, how can i not have them as favorites? Harlan County has done nothing to show consistency within there team. I know theyve lost to good teams, but i think you and I both though they would have won both games. Theres more wrong with HC than just the game and I think that will be a problem down the road. Couple that with the fact that PC (my pick as regional runner up in the preseason) has done nothing to dissapoint and have exceeded my expectations. People laughed when i said they'd blow out Somerset, and theyve done a lot more than that.
Right now I give the edge to PC, with Harlan County and Madison Southern in a virtual tie for second. You'll be surprised at how much MS has progressed and even though i dont like saying this in football, Harris is a game changer. Nobody will stop him, you can only hope to contain him. I think North is in the 4th spot region wise, and the rest are pretty balanced out.

We'll see how things play out.
