9. Belfry
8. Shelby Valley
7. Bell County
6. Pulaski County
5. Breathitt County
4. Johnson Central

Go Pikeville!

i82much · 08-16-2023, 10:15 PM

Lol, this is not my fight nor where my knowledge lies but I'm guessing this thread will be fun. My first thought is that JC/Corbin should be the 1 and 2.

Haha we will see where the Panthers stand after facing #6 and #4 the first 2 weeks...

I felt like Corbin would be #1 after they hit the jackpot in the transfer portal. Rankings only matter after the season is over lol...

Ridiculous, as usual. Corbin+ should obviously be ranked #1. JC and Southwestern both would be credible at #2 and Pikeville has enough returning to rate a #4 rank without playing a game. Results from weeks 1 and 2 will answer a lot of questions for Pikeville, JC, and Southwestern. Corbin won't be challenged until at least Week 3 - and it will probably not happen until later.

***Bull got out!*** · 08-16-2023, 10:35 PM

Johnson Central is ahead of Southwestern IMO.

Why should they be ranked above Southwestern? Smile

Southwestern was tough last year, and they return a lot of experience.

VELVET CLOSER · 08-16-2023, 11:39 PM

Belfry is 5 TD’s better than Shelby Valley. Corbin and JC 1 or 2. This is laughable!

**64SUR** · 08-17-2023, 12:02 AM

I understand why Pikeville is ranked #1……..Let the games begin Friday night

I don’t get it at all, what could possibly be the logic behind that ranking? Corbin is the clear #1, but like you said, preseason rankings don’t mean squat and time will tell.

Big questions will be answered in a couple days and that will shake this list up.

TheStickyBandit · 08-17-2023, 08:05 AM

Breathitt at number 5 is hilarious.

Diablo · 08-17-2023, 08:27 AM

Bunch of nerds at WYMT don’t know anything about football or any other sport for that matter.

FallRock · (This post was last modified: 08-17-2023, 08:32 AM by FallRock.)

I would take half the schools in the 13th over Breathitt. Knox Clay North Bell.. shucks maybe even Perry C but like someone said rankings don't mean much more than a hill of beans until its final.

Jet fighter · 08-17-2023, 09:12 AM

Hazard or Breathitt don’t belong in the top 10. Just my opinion, Breathitt would have a better case then Hazard, but Hazard will be lucky to win 2-3 games this season.

Because of my vast knowledge and wealth of experience in the aforementioned topic....in other words....I have no clue. Undecided

They obviously gave bonus points for winning a state championship regardless of class.

Absolute Fact, what has happened to our reporters, just take a look at these people doing the coverage..... I'll add through an edit, in my opinion the last true sports media guy who worked in Eastern KY was Brian Milam

Khalisimo · 08-17-2023, 11:02 AM

Like I said, they did a great job with their show. People can and do disagree with ratings, they are just for fun until the last one...

Patriot1 · 08-17-2023, 12:03 PM

Now if I was picking this top ten it would be Corbin Southwestern Johnson Central PulaskiCounty Pikeville Bell county Belfry Hazard Shelby Valley Breathitt County now that’s the order I would put these 10 teams in right now at the beginning of the season but not saying if I was picking all these teams would be in the my top 10 just how I see it but as the season goes on the true top teams will prevail and that’s true barring any significant injuries to any team

My unranked Colonels can compete with Breathitt.

Didn’t North Laurel Beat Johnson Central and Shelby Valley last year? I thought I seen that on WYMT News both games.
