With Summer ball over..... Here are my latest rankings.... what are your thoughts

Top 3 could interchange
1. Clay - I know it's a big jump. But they had an impressive summer.
2. Bell - Morris can't do it alone
3. Harlan City - They won't be a surprise this year, might be tougher then expected for them
No's 4-8 are close.
4. North Laurel - Great Summer. Got better every time out.
5. Corbin - didn't have a top player, will be fine.
6. Harlan County - we'll see how they do.
7. South Laurel - Look for them to take a major leap.
8. Whitley - I don't see who is going to replace what they lost.
9-10 - have the potential to knock off a 4-6 team
9. Knox Central - Messer is just what they needed
10. Lynn Camp - veteran coach will have them ready to compete
after that I don't see anyone being able to compete....

For North to move up into the upper level they have got to play a better schedule, if I'm not mistaken they only beat one team with a winning record last year and they was a All A school that was 1 or 2 games over 500 playing a soft schedule. If they want to be taken seriously they have got to start beating some better teams. They can't be going to these Xmas tourneys where everyone is looking for there first win.
