Until we see how the team responds, I believe putting them even in the top 10 was more than justified. Maybe they pickup and never miss a beat but at the same time it’s hard to fill the shoes of a legendary coach like Haywood. Until we see the way the new coach runs his team and the way the players respond I don’t feel my ranking of them was unjustified. Maybe I am wrong and they win state but for me it was just the unknowns of the new coach.

You will have your traditional teams that are always some where between 5 and up to the number 1 spot but I think there will be some new additions by the end of the year teams that aren’t normally in the top 10. I also predict one or two normal power teams to fall below the middle of the pack maybe even toward the bottom of the top 10 by seasons end. I’ll give a guess at a preseason top 10 but I think with most teams playing each other we should have a good idea on who belongs where by season’s end.

1. Corbin
2. Pulaski
3. Johnson Central
4. Bell County
5. Rockcastle county
6. Somerset
7. Pikeville
8. Belfry
9. Breathitt county
10. Prestonsburg
I agree I'd only start Lawrence county at 10 and take pburg out

Talent wise LC should be in the top 10. Ahead of P-burg, Breathitt, and Rock.
