Powell Valley MAY win the LPD title this year. Gate City MAY win the LPD title this year. Clintwood MAY win the LPD title this year. J.I. Burton MAY win the LPD title this year. The way that I see it anybody can win on any given night. But as of right now Gate City is the defending LPD, region D and state champions, so that puts them in a good position to capture the LPD crown. If I remember correctly the PV/GC game is in Gate City this year. Anybody would be hard pressed to name many schools who have won more then a handfull of games there other then Gate City. If I were to make an early season prediction on the LPD, then my vote would be the Blue Devils of Scott County. So until my Vikings beat the Blue Devils, the LPD belongs to Gate City.
