Paris is still unproven imo. Basing off the strength of the teams everyone has played, how well the played or defeated them, plus still considering what the teams have returned because it's so early in the season, id say...

1. Beechwood
2. Pikeville
3. Russellville
T4. Raceland
T4. Paintsville
5. Fairview
6. Paris
7. Capbellsville
8. Hazard
9. Ludlow
10. Pick one...

Imo, Paintsville has been the most dominant of that district in their wins, but they havent really faced anyone that can give us a gauge. Frankfort is not the same Frankfort that could hang around with Beechwood in the past. They are down in tallent and in numbers. Still have alot of teams figuring some things out, so it's hard for me to really choose a solidified and clear cut 2-5. I do know that Raceland, at this point, isnt a clear cut favorite to win the district. Paintsville looks the strongest from top to bottom, but then again, I think Ashland is the best team that anyone in the east has played so far this year. At this point,

-Fairview's defense is still a bit suspect
-Paintsville hasnt had a legit opponent (but they get one this week)
-Raceland's lack of identity in the run game and no clear number 1 running back seems to be an issue and the team seems to lack a leader on the field.

Still alot of questions and this seems like a year that is litterally on a game by game basis. Very strange season so far.

I think Raceland needs to find a way to get Damon Black on the field and involved with the offense. I know he's the backup QB, but he's too good of an athlete to be standing on the sideline watching the game.
