[King Kong]

 Im going to take the Redhounds to make Kroger Field by the hands of the offense. If Im wrong it wont be the first time. But we will see in just a few short weeks.

Corbin's offense alone gives them a shot of making it to Kroger Field,  IMO. 

I guarantee you those upper class men would love another shot at the title.

Corbin's weak district schedule of Letcher County Central (Calpreps #88), Perry County Central (#93), and Whitley County (Calpreps #98) is not going to help their chances of avoiding a 3rd round game with Boyle County. If Johnson Central beats Ashland, it will be interesting to see how the RPI treats the Redhounds. Covington Catholic is also stuck playing in an even weaker district than Corbin, but they close with weak 6A team, Campbell County.

Redhounds will be the 2 seed in the East or at worst 3 seed. So how do you think Corbin will play Boyle. Boyle will end up the top seed in the East. If All teams win out with no losses. 

Johnson Central vs Boyle
Corbin vs Ashland or Covington Catholic.

I didn't say that Corbin might play Boyle County in the third round. If Pulaski upsets Corbin at home, Johnson Central beats Ashland and Covington Catholic, then I'm not sure how the RPI rankings would stand. That's a lot of ifs, and I think Ashland will be favored at home over JC and Covington Catholic will probably be favored over either Ashland or JC. Obviously, Corbin will be favored over Pulaski at home, but Pulaski has made impressive improvements during the season.

 I do not see any other 4A team beating Johnson Central with that offense steam rolling honestly. I think Ashland is the mystery for me, they have to win against JC at home but thats a tall task. It takes a heck of a defense to beat that run game and I just didn't think JC was healthy last season when they played. So no shade at Ashland but they have to win against JC to prove other wise. So Covington Catholic is not like last years CC team. I got Johnson Central myself in the 4 seed only because of their RPI. Its a good thing there isn't a tournament setting like old times. I would hate to see that JC machine again if I were Corbin. 

I too would hate to see JC'S run game again if I was Corbin. 
Also,  if I was JC,  I'd hate to see that air raid of Corbin's again.  They've got on of the most effective passing games I've seen.
