I agree. Everyone loses some key pieces but return alot of stability as well. Pikeville, imo has to be the preseason favorite in the east, with all of what they return from a team that was 3 points away from playing beechwood in the title. No one is leaps and bounds ahead of neone else though. Raceland will probably be better offensively, but will lose alot upfront defensively. But there is alot of work already being done in the weightroom to remedy that. Hazard is hazard and if they can avoid the injury bug that has hit them hard over the last 3 or 4 years, will be right back where they usually are. Williamsburg is my dark horse to play spoiler next year for someone. It will be another tight post season for sure. But it will come down to Pikeville, Raceland, Paintsville, and Hazard again.
