Painstville this year is sitting at home while Somerset plays NewCath...unless somethng drastic happens NewCath will continue the NKY 1A domination of the MT region. Over the past five years no Mountain 1A team has been within 3 TD's of Danville, NewCath, Beechwood, Mayfield, or this year Bardtsown... thus they are a second tier 1A team IMO.

It also doesn't help that Blume's claim to fame on a 3A team comes against a 1A team.....

Get where I am coming from here?

For example,,, if I amde the case that Matt Maynard is a better candidate than Ron Blume I would not note his performance against Pikeville but instead note how he fared against Henry Clay (loss, but played very well against 12-1 4A team who has been top 5 all year) or Ironton Ohio who narrowly missed knocking the top team in ohio off in the 3rd round.

you should make sure all your facts are straight..First of all in the playoff game he brought his team back with a great kick reurn for a td and a 70 yard td on a screen pass, both were a great display of his talent.(speed, field vision and cutting...ask Stocker..LOL)..2ND, his best performanc came against Boyd County: 430 yards rushing and 7 td's...I know of 2 coaches he played against this year that said he was better than Beach....Never seen Beach play so I can't compare them..Just don't sell the kid short because he IS a great talent with great heart...Best player in the state:NO...IMHO one of the best backs and probably the most dangerous...Ask those who would not punt or kick to him all year and yet he returned 4 for td's.alute:
