1A - always interesting because depth plays an issue. If you can get to Beechwood, they're good, but not the monster they were and Mayfield is gone. I wouldn't count Raceland out of the eastern mix here either.

2A - no chance. Desales is hammering 6A Louisville teams, and Mayfield is Mayfield. All due respect, but those two teams probably easily handle any 606 small school.

3A - this'll be the most interesting. Belfry's traditional cakewalk to state has become a gauntlet. Still, they could win if they stay healthy and fix their personnel issues. Central is down. Lex Cath has athletes but weak on the line. Think it is either Boyle of Belfry here.

4A - two horse race between JC and Ashland to go to the finals, I think (depending on how Scott keeps doing, maybe 3; after the hammering Bourbon took, not sold there). About 3/4 of the good 4A teams are in the west; luckily only one can come out. I favor JC/Ashland winner to be at least runner-up in 4A with a fair shot to win.

5A- Pulaski looks like a solid pick. They picked a good year for BG, HHS, CCH to all be terrible and them to be really good. Timing is everything. Pretty good showing against Scott Co, which is probably a top 3 team in the state and would win any other class.

So, 4 titles, probably not. I'd say one with a couple runners up. Won't say which one.
