Honestly I don't think theres a team in the Mountain that Hazard couldn't play with... Sure Bell County is a better team but do I think they would beat Hazard by 20+... No way... I know u all love to throw the Class 1A up when it comes to Hazard but be real. Hazard plays Breathitt County every year, just a few years back was playing Corbin every year, been playing Somerset for the last few years, was playing Letcher Central but LCC didn't want that beat down anymore, and before the Hazard/Perry thing ended, Hazard was on a 4 year WS with a 64-20 point game. So in the last 5 or 6 years Hazard has been right there with the top teams in the mountains (all classes).

I have no doubt that Hazard should be in the top 10.

But I think Harlan County, Bell County, and Belfry (I know you scrimmage them but we all know how much stock we can put in that) are not only losses in my book - but muti-TD losses. I'm not going to say 20+ because that is a tough spread. But I'd say all of them are a GOOD 2 TDs better than Hazard. Then you have Somerset and Breathitt who beat Hazard last year. I think Whitley, Knox, and Johnson Central would all be question marks for Hazard as well. I do, however, think Hazard is a clear favorite over Williamsburg lol

Hazard will be tested early.
Somerset, Breathitt, and a Prestonsburg team that shouldn't be overlooked.
This will tell us how Hazard stacks up in the mountains.

I honestly think Hazard is smart playing teams like that in the first few games.
After that they have Harlan, Jenkins and Pineville.
Once they get to the meat of the playoffs they already have played against teams that are that good.
