Who is the top teams in Class 3A for 2023?

1.  CAL vs Central and only one of them makes it to Semi State, that's a shame.  

2.  Look forward to the Union vs Webster Co battle over this 4 year cycle. 

3.  Pendleton Co got a tough break and I hope this district doesn't diminish their player numbers for this struggling program. 

4.  Lewis Co is a team to watch in D6

5.  Rockcastle will be winning D7 titles y 2024 (maybe even 2023)

6.  The Belfry vs Lawrence Co matchups are going to be fun to watch the next 4 years. 


This is the most competitive class IMO over this next 4 year cycle.

What does Lloyd have coming back?  Haven’t been a real player in some time.  I’m sure Bell will be in the overall mix.  I think the real questions surround the East.  The eastern side of 3A was woefully poor last year.  Will that improve?  Does Belfry actually show up this year?  Does LC build off of their first district championship in a LONG, LONG time.  As of now….the power sets in the west.  Should be interesting.

Lloyd has nothing, they sometimes schedule weak regular seasons to get these good records and they big eggs in the playoffs.  The years Lloyd actually had playoff caliber talent, they lost in first round.

Adding Lex Cath back into the mix definitely helps 3A.   At least on paper.
