This is Week 2 of the inaugural Bluegrass Rivals Regional Power Rankings!

We will rank the Top 5 in each region of the stat, based on a "pound for pound" basis. We will take into account Strength of Schedule, margin of victory/defeat, magnitude of games, and come to a conclusion.

Rankings are meant for discussion, and your feedback is what we want to hear whether you agree or not. Make your case for your team!

1. Russell County- At this point, the only thing standing between the Lakers and 10-0 is a date with Knox Central in Week 9.

2. Somerset- Jumpers secure their ranking with an impressive win over a gritty Glasgow team.

3. Monroe County- Falcons roll on crushing Hart County, a district title and a 9-1 record seem imminent.

4. Whitley County- Colonels seem to be peaking and a major jump is possible when they meet Somerset in two weeks.

5. Wayne County- Cards were a couple turnovers away from potentially shocking the world. Big match-up this week.

Teams on the Rise:

Pulaski County- Don't look now, but the Maroons have won two straight including a quality win over Lincoln County and their 2 losses are to undefeated teams.

Williamsburg- Clearly the best 1A school in the region, the Jackets rebound from a quality out of state loss to crush Allen Central.

Teams Falling:
Glasgow- It's mis-leading to put the Scotties here as they are still a very good team, but this distinction is more about how they went from an undefeated 2A Title Contender to a 4-2 face in the crowd after being outscored 48-0 against their first real tests of the season.

Game to Watch:
Wayne County @ Corbin- Huge stakes on the line as Wayne looks to make a statement while Corbin looks to prove they are truly better than their 2-3 record indicates.

It will be interesting to see how Wayne County bounces back from the Bell Co. loss.

I think before the season ends, you'll find all 3 Whitly schools in there.

And BTW, the Somerset/Whitley game is this friday.

Said it from game 1 when Whitley lost to Russell County that they would surprise a lot of people. I liked what I saw of that team on that day and like how they have played since that day. Barring injuries I would not want to play this team!

Pulaski @ North Laurel should be a heck of a game. I look for North to win this one at home. The two losses this season are to the #1 and #5 teams in your BGR regional standings in Southern KY. They have been improving every game and I look for this to continue this week. North Laurel 35 Pulaski 21. North is truly on the RISE!!!

PS Game Thursday due to "World Chicken Festival", eat more chicken!
