The four battles between Montgomery County and George Rogers Clark highlighted the 10th Region last season.  The region looks pretty top-heavy with the Cardinals and the Indians back on top.  Nicholas County will be knocking on the door as they may have one of their best teams in school history.  Campbell County always has a solid program and will build around their best returning player.  Bourbon County had a better-than-expected year under their first-year head coach and improved with a couple of transfers from their cross-town rival.
