Thats very true.
Clay County has surprised some people this year thus far, but, PCC is way down. They will be lucky to win 5 games this year if that. They lost to a decent Garrard County team, and killed a bad Washington County team.
My smh comment wasnt the fact that they dont belong, but rather that the mountains are so weak this year that we cant put together 10 really strong teams. After looking over the list of teams, i see your point, im not sure anyone else has an argument over them at this point, as every team out of the top 10 has losses and most to really bad teams.
MonsterMan Wrote:I always wonder why you can put teams from all the different classes into one ranking. It is obvious that Somerset, Hazard or Willamsburg could not play with Johnson Central or Knox Central. I am not sure Breathitt could either. Johnson Central has proven they can beat Belfrey. Bell and Harlan are ok for now. After some of these teams play each other we can see how all this shakes out. Still, no way the 1A schools can play with the 4A or 5A schools.
What happened the last time Somerset and Knox played @ Knox? Somerset can easily play with Knox year in and year out including this year. Knox has only won 5 playoff games since 2000, win some games in November before you start bashing others and beating your chest...

I mean for High school, not college. Yeah it is nice to get your school's name out there and have the bragging rights, but as far as it affecting your season it means nothing. It's not like it affects your playoff seed or anything lol

Knoxville TN teams would ABSOLUTELY roll the best teams in the mountains. Look what happened to Bell against Alcoa a few years ago, and at that time Bell was in a bigger class than Alcoa. Knox Central is a solid team, Karns made the playoffs in either 5 or 6A in TN last year they're no slouch.

There are some good teams around Knoxville, like Alcoa as you said, but there are some horrible teams there as well.
Corbin should have beat Karns last year. It was a 1 point game. Karns is one of the better ones. Its just like any big city, your going to have some powerhouses and then youll have some that get throttled every week.
