Agree or Disagree:

1. Central- Not only are the Jackets grandfathered in as the defacto #1..they return possibly the best defensive unit in the State of KY.

2. Wayne County- Cardinals pushed Central to their limit last season and return a ton of firepower on offense and defense while keeping their lines relatively in tact.

3. Belfry- Pirates return possibly the best backfield in KY. Heavy losses on the line and on defense will require huge development to reach the level of play Central will bring.

4. Bell County- Bobcats were hit hard by graduation but Bell County will do what Bell County does. Still enough in the cupboard to be acknowledged amongst the top of the class.

5. Bourbon County- Colonels lose "All Everything" RB Kentayvous Hopkins... but return basically everyone else including QB Charby Pope and his top two receiving targets in Johnson and Hilander.

6. Paducah Tilghman- The Blue Tornado is a fickle mistress. High expectations were not met last season, but numerous transfers should help make one of the most athletic teams in 3A be in the picture.

7. South Warren- Last season was a break-thru season for the Spartans and with a strong returning group of skill players on offense they will be a factor.

8. Ft. Campbell- Falcons' numbers have been down..but returning a near 2000 yard rusher in Tristen Luke will make them a threat.


9. Mason County- Royals return everything they need at the skill positions and all but one of their defensive playmakers. Dont be surprised to see the Royals 10-0

10. Monroe County- Falcons lose their superstar QB from the Semi-finalist squad who nearly de-throned Central. Lots of work to do to stay afloat in a loaded Western Bracket.
