QUESTION!

Why did Elliott get so much love last year, they lost to Shelby Valley, one of the teams who didn't have the "athleticism" like the Louisville and Lexington teams, Elliott didn't prove themselves one bit, but the state ate them up with love and attention, even national attention.

I honestly have no clue...I wasn't exactly one of those on the "Elliott love boat" though when they were beating weak 16th region teams by 40 and 50 points. I think the attention they got had more to do with their fans hyping them up so much.

Elliott did prove themselves though. They beat three top 25 teams during the regular season...Anderson Co, Ballard, and Mason Co.

Then in the post season they took care of Anderson Co again, avenged their only in state loss to SV, and then ran in to the eventual state champs and just couldn't overcome a team that talented. I'd say they proved a lot last year. 5-2 against top 25 teams is pretty solid.
