Paintsville may be the 3rd best team in 1A but there is a big gap from 1-2 and everyone else.

Paintsville isn’t even close to 3rd best team. NCC gets that nod but not by much. After that I’d put Hazard and Louisville Holy Cross. Paintsville would be next after that.

I have to see a non- EKY team do something before I put any of them ahead of the EKY 4. 

I completely dispute we aren’t “even close to 3rd” we could get be by those teams you mentioned but I think after Raceland and Pikeville, Paintsville would at worst be a slight underdog vs anyone else in 1A.
