Pikeville may have the best pitcher in the region, but there's nothing about their on-field results that suggests they're far and away the best team.  In fact, based on results, I'd say it's a toss up among the top 4 before seeing the draw.

Pikeville has the best pitcher and position player in the region.  Duty and B Hall can change the game on their own.  Their number two is better than most of the other number ones.  Pikeville’s has played more quality opponents than the majority of the region. Their region losses were due to young players and pulling pitchers to save arms.  Won’t happen in the post season.
