[Big Five-0-]

Is the bolded your order of ranking? If so, I'd have to disagree. As it stands right now, I would have it Hazard, Williamsburg, Pikeville, Harlan, Raceland, and then Fairview. The rest I agree with, 1A teams usually have the least margin for tolerating injuries. Major ones, not the little nicks and dings of a season, every team deals with those. But Hazard remains my #1 until someone beats them, Williamsburg is #2 due to returning numbers and the benefit of a year of experience under their belts. Pikeville is #3 right now due to losing Maynard and Vanhoose (big field position weapon), but they have made excellent progress in the weight room, and bring back an excellent offensive core with Hall, Estep, etc. If someone steps up at QB, they will be dangerous.

Sure would like to see someone step up at QB, as well as a couple of good linemen. This offensive group has a lot of speed and quickness about them, and they are going to be fun to watch. Caleb Campoy and Cage Morrison should be two real good stand outs on the line of scrimmage.
