Those were 2 tough ones... hard to put Pburg in when they had losses to both Hazard and Pikeville, as well as Pike Central who also could make a case...

I just feel like Bell was playing a pretty good brand of football down the stretch beating a solid Corbin team and playing Central very close.

Truthfully speaking after the first 3 you could make an argument for:
Bell
Hazard
Pikeville
Raceland
Pike Central
Lawrence County
Mason County
Middlesboro
Ashland

I agree to an extent, but if Prestonsburg was left out for early season loss to Pikeville and mid season to Hazard then why is Bell in over Middlesboro?

Not to mention, just like Bell, Prestonsburg was playing some pretty good football down the stretch also. We fielded one of the youngest teams ever at Prestonsburg not to mention several injuries to key players and was still 2 minutes away from a Regional Championship against a very good Somerset team who was healthier than they had been all season. Actually we was a penalty away (helmet to helmet hit on 4th and goal in which P'burg stopped them).

I know my Harlan County friends will be pissed over the next comment, but IMO from all the preseason hype they underachieved this year. I also know their loses came to some of the best teams around, but 2 of those games they was never even in them.
