I'm glad Breathitt County is having a good year, but they are no doubt the most overrated team in the mountains. A 12 point loss to a 8-11 Letcher Central team and they just go to 4th?

Valley is better than Paintsville and Breathitt! Breathitt shouldn't be in the top 10 and when I seen them play last night against LCC, COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE 18-1!

Their win over Hazard is the only thing that got them there. The rest of the schedule has been a joke. Beyond me how they didn't drop further than that.

bell county dropping to 7th is nuts

Breathitt County has had a nice season but other than Hazard and Buckhorn...Breathitt County has not played anyone with a winning record as of this post. Remove Hazard and Buckhorn (who are a combined 28-12 as of 1-27-07) and the rest of the scheduled teams have a combined record of a whopping 76-165 :what:

76-165 what is the big deal? Granted Breathitt County played the pants off Hazard twice but aren't these guys overrated?!?!? You bet.

just because they lost to clay county by 1 at clay, they drop all the way to 7th????????? as for them losing 78-52 to the #1 team in the state and top 20 team in the country (Scott County) at Scott County, there is no way this team should drop this far. Scott County the next night, beat a top 20 ky team (George Rogers Clark) 94-59 and Bell County proceeded to beat 2 strong teams the next days, yesterday and today, Dixie Heights 12-6 record and Simon Kenton 16-4 record. bell won both games by 3. the point is, hazard, shelby valley and jbs have all gone to the big city and been drilled, jbs got hammered twice up their, hazard got blown out by a decent lexington school, and shelby valley got beat by 10 last night by the same just decent paul dunbar team, not to mention breathitt county who is clearly overrated losing to letcher central last night by 12

Pardon, but Valley definitely didn't get drilled. Hazard and JBS, yes, but Valley--not yet! I've watched Bell play several times this year, including the Valley game, and they are tough. Don't put down other schools just to boost them though. Anyone who knows anything about basketball can see that Bell is better than 7th in the mountains.

I think Valley should be ranked 3rd

how is allen central in there>?

Well I doubt that JBS will hold their #2 ranking after the Hazard loss, and no doubt that Bell Co. is better than #7. But I've said in the past that this poll is crazy anyway. I guess this proves it.

IMPO:

1. South Laurel
2. Paintsville
3. Shelby Valley
4. Bell Co.
5. Hazard
6. JBS
7. Clay Co.
8-10. Could be arguably any of several good teams!

But any of these teams could beat the other on a given night, although SL would probably be the toughest to knock off.

Well I guess that since JBS got beat tongiht that Paintsville will be number 2 next week...I think that they really desirve it, they only lost the the number 1 team by 1 point.

i am not putting any team down, just stating some facts that in relation to bell county's season shows they are better than 7th in the mountains. as for shelby valley, they are very solid, and i like their team a lot, but since peaking early in the year they seem to have come down to earth a little. bottom line, mountain basketball is on the rise and has several strong teams that could make it to rupp this year and be very competitive, with several of these teams being very young with bright futures.

Cant complain about that one, looks good to me.

Thanks, and Powell may not be. But when Powell is playing it's best ball..LOOK OUT! I agree that Corbin could be in that mix also. A number of teams could be in the 8-10 spot!

Bell can't be ranked before Shelby valley,because valley beat them

just because sv beat bell in overtime earlier this year when sv was clearly clicking on all cylinders doesnt mean that bell cant be ranked ahead of them. i am not saying bell should be ranked ahead of them, but i could see an argument that with the impressive run they made in the wymt tournament and the quality wins they have had since then over perry central, cumberland, dixie heights, and simon kenton along with the fact sv has lost 3 games since beating bell and have not been as impressive in their wins as they were early in the year, that bell could be ranked ahead of them.

A 10 point lose to Paul Dunbar and a 3 point lose to Warren Central, I think that's pretty impressive considering their a top team in the state. And the SV and Bell Co didn't go in OT
