West is very weak. All you need to do is look at the last couple of state finals. Owensboro maybe the only team on the Western side that can come close to competing with HHS. I would personally love to see a Whitley vs. JC playoff game b/c I think it would be a very good match-up. But unfortunately for both of them they will run into the Bluebirds.

Maybe they will all be ruled ineligible for the playoffs??? That still makes me mad to think about.

It wouldn't have mattered. Highlands would have adjusted their game plan without him and would have beaten Bell anyway, just the way they did in the state game when they beat Boyle which was a better team than Bell that year.
