Not sure why Shelby Valley moved up into the top 10. Only thing that happened since the last ranking is they blew out a severely overmatched Knott County team. Not exactly the statement win that shows you deserve to be ranked.

If anything, I thought maybe Valley would be ranked after opening the season with an impressive blowout of Letcher Central, then beating Pike Central. But if that wasn't enough to move the needle, then I don't think I would rank them now either. Probably wait to see if they can get a win at West Carter in a couple weeks.

Shelby Valley had been knocking on the top 10 in a couple polls. A team in front of Shelby Valley in the rankings was defeated last week. This loss shifted a few points from the losing team to Shelby Valley which pushed them into the top 10.
