I think Paris had their run. I dont expect them to duplicate this seasons success on a consistent basis. Paintsville returns alot of tallent and had some youth getting good minutes upfront, my question is "who will be Kash". Who will be THAT guy. Raceland has to answer the same question with the loss of Snyder offensively and Jamison defensively. That district should be wide open, I lean toward Raceland winning that one, but it should be yet another tough district with the winner likely going to the semis.

Bishop Brossart has a good thing going. This season should be a major boost in the programs numbers. Good staff, good fan base, i look for them to be in the mix as well.

Imo, Russellville has the best shot at BG as it stands right now out west. Beechwood will have their say, but I think Rville returns the most and is a very well coached team. The loss of Beechwoods three headed monster will be hard to replace.

Pikeville imo, is the favorite. Dont even have to give the "until proven other wise", they lose Pugh, but have a kid that will be a soph, that I expect to put up Pugh-esk numbers by the time he is a Jr. They have a nice Jr class from top to bottom.

Goina be another great season of 1A football. For now, im just glad that the title resides in the east and we can stop hearing about how much better the west is than everyone else.
