Still way to early for me to make an argument for any of the teams 2-10.

I think 4-10 are iffy at best the next few weeks will be telling as we get toward district play. Holmes should be higher

I like Holmes as well. I'm still not sure about SK. IMO, this year 6A is still a crap shoot after Ryle.

[Stardust]

I actually think Cooper can win a 6A game this year. They have a back that can cause serious issues for teams

[nky]

Cooper is moving in the right direction and I agree with you that SK is somewhat of a question mark but they're still a top team.

[tradition]

I would put Holmes ahead of Boone, Conner and Dixie.

[Can you dig it?]

I think Holmes has quite a bit of potential, but I want to see them before I put too much stock in them. I think they'll be fine this week with Lloyd, but that's to be expected. Ask me this time next week.

Very fair. I think most of us are looking at Holmes potential and the way the finished last season. I like the changes they have made and think they are ready to begin playing at a much higher level than we have seen from them in the last 10 years.
