You're right.

Pikeville went 3-2 and I had them 2-2 -- twice. I goofed.

Still doesn't change much. A 3-2 showing in the TSOA at Meade County or the Capital City Showcase in Frankfort or the Bob Jones in Alabama or the Sports Warehouse Classic in Owensboro (this coming weekend's loaded tourney) turns more heads.

I'm not a Pikeville or Jenkins hater, per se. Never been there. Never been to any rivals.

To get respect, you gotta do what the respect-worthy teams have done. And fwiw, neither Pikeville nor Jenkins has done that. Jenkins is 0-3 against Pikeville (having been outscored 20-0) and Pikeville has gotten smacked around by the few ranked teams it has played.

Pikeville's best wins are Gallatin, Glasgow or Magoffin. ... For a team some EKY folks say deserves respect from the rest of the state, that's not saying much.

Jenkins has beaten ???

Who is saying they deserve respect?

IMO, PHS is not in the top 35. I just think you are arguing against something that doesn't exist. You took a "may turn some heads" comment (which i believe was just thrown in as a compliment to these teams, nothing more) and turned it into someone demanding respect.
