How in the world does Somerset receive votes?

I have been able to get a look at Somerset a couple times and I’ve looked at their roster on the KHSAA website. 

Six returning seniors. 3 of them get minutes and of those 2 didn’t dress against Paintsville (I hear the running back is out for the season? If so, hate it for that young man) 

While there is some talent on the team, they got the early ranking for their successes over the past couple years and they’re now exposed. A lot of offense woes (turnovers, play calling isn’t bad it’s just predictable, inexperience) are causing their young defense to be on the field too much. The first half against Paintsville showed they can hang with teams but they can’t finish drives without errors or timing issues. 

I wouldn’t compare this team to an 0-3 Mayfield team whatsoever but this team has scheduled over their means. There’s only 4 games left on their schedule they can even compete in and even those teams are better overall as of today. (Except maybe Washington County) 

Somerset is in for one of the longest seasons they’ve had in a while since they were young and went 0-10 a few years back. IF the nucleus of their best players stay with it, they’ll better next year. But if kids get their spirits broken and quit/transfer, they’re in for another long year in 2022.
