IMO: I’ve watched a couple breathitt games, Wolfe games, hazard, Perry, Powell and Knott. The region will play to the draw.

I see it like this by district.
Powell- has the most depth on the mound and 2 solid starters with 3-4 to follow. They hit the ball and don’t make a ton of mistakes in the field.
Estill- has a solid arm that can cause some trouble. Bats haven’t shown out the most but Estill always plays solid baseball in May.
Wolfe- this team is another year from running through the region. Have shown streaks of being really good. Whisman or Oliver on the mound they become tough. They have hit the ball great all year.
Breathitt- when Bellamy is healthy and on the bump my money is on them. They need a number 2 they can turn loose to win a close game and we haven’t seen that. Turner has been hit or miss and crisp has been roughed up by Wolfe and Perry now. They don’t have the luxury of an explosive offensive line up as they did last year.
Hazard- has a quality one. And it’s shown beating breathitt but after that like everyone else. It’ll be an offense game. Varney will play small ball and be disciplined. Can go a long way.
Perry- beat breathitt, been hammered by others. No clear cut 1. Watched them play breathitt and hazard and just didn’t look like a Perry team from the past.
Knott- 2 strong arms with a quality arm to come around. Do not know much about offensive production with them.
Letcher- been a dumpster fire this season from what I’ve seen. Wish them the best but rough season and only getting harder.

The loser of the 55th has it worst. You theoretically draw hazard, Powell, or Knott. All the other districts have a shot at drawing letcher besides Knott. That 55th district championship will tell us a lot. If breathitt wins and draws letcher or Estill and gets on the opposite side of that districts counter part I give them a shot. If Wolfe wins I think it’s Powell to lose unless they draw breathitt first round.

Powell/breathitt first round I think someone else wins it. If they draw same side I think the top seed on the opposite side wins it. They draw opposite I think it’ll be a heck of a championship game. But can’t count any of them out. As well as rain can play a big factor.
