id like to know how johnson central gets even on the top 10 list

Based on the disclaimer given that it was based on last year's results, I think it is justified somewhat. JC gave Boyle and Highlands (both of whom went on to win state championships) all they could handle during the regular season.

However, with the players JC lost I wouldn't put them in the top 10. Yeah Jude is back and the kid is a flat out player, but with losing Bratton, Hall, Owsley and some good O and D linemen, JC is really going to have to reload. As I recall they had a pretty small squad last year. I understand that in spring ball they had a lot more kids on the roster, but if those additions are primarily sophomores to be, I think they'll be too young to have the type of season that merits a top 10 ranking. Maybe I'm wrong and they'll have the number of seniors and juniors needed to reload with to make them a strong contender. But if they have to reload with a bunch of sophomores, it will be really, really difficult for them in my opinion.

I hope they do have a very strong team this year because I've really enjoyed the rivalry that has developed between Highlands and JC over the past 3 years and hope they get to match up again this year in the playoffs.
