My man, I hope you're right.

If LexCath gets it together and tightens up their mistakes, they won't be an easy out for anyone in 3A. Central still has to deal with Ashland at Ashland first and foremost. If Central can't beat Ashland, then Central probably isn't going to win 4A, so the discussion is moot, and believe me, nobody here is taking the Ashland game lightly. If Central does handle Ashland, you get a District 7 4th place at home. Then probably Scott at home, then probably Ashland again at home (if they could take Bourbon at Bourbon; otherwise, it's Bourbon at Bourbon). Reverse that if Scott beats Bourbon in the district; I'm guessing at this point Mason, Holmes, and Harrison are going to be relative non-factors in the playoff race. Then the semis, I'm guessing either Knox Central, Rockcastle County, Wayne County, or Taylor County on the road. At that point, if you make it to the big show, all bets are off and last one out of Johnson County turn the lights off on the Bowling Green. That's what the road looks like, best I can guess it. There aren't many gimmes, but I don't see any we can't win either. First time in...forever.

Mark this prediction down....

JC over Ashland by 4 scores.
JC over Belfry by 3 scores.
JC over Knox by 5 scores.
Running clock on Rock, Wayne, and Taylor County if they play any of them.

Pulaski is the only "mountain" team that could beat JC and I think that would be a good, close, ball game. JC beats everyone else in the east with only 2 or 3 coming within 3 scores.

Just my thoughts and it may be completely wrong, but that's what im sticking with for now.
