Class A has been and always will be very weak. The past four years have proven the teams from the east were light years ahead of the teams out west. A down Hazard team might be on par with some of the teams out west. Maybe I am wrong, but I would have to see ten teams in class A that are better than Hazard. As for Paris, maybe they are not top three but they have done something almost no one else in single has done, beat two traditional Single A powers. Given, Paintsville is a far cry from what they once were. Hazard beating a 5A school, not a power 5A school, looks better than teams like Sayre who have played the bottom half of their class.
