When it is all said and done, what does the top ten really mean? Seriously, NAIA polls, BCS polls. All that matters is where you finish at the end. Win a state championship and that is all that matters. Yes, Bell County won last year, but lost a lot of their experience players at skill positions. They will need to prove themselves early and they will get a sure test on Friday when they take on Alcoa.

Breathitt pretty much returns everyone from a state runner up team. They are already proven. If Bell County is indeed a better team, they will in fact prove it right away, and if so, you will see them back in the #1 spot. So, I wouldn't really worry.

Just let them play the games, and let the players do what they need to do. The rest will take care of itself.

The Mountain Top Ten teams tells you who some of the better teams in the mountains are, yes, but its more of a discussion starter, and once again, it has set out to do what it is meant to do. It has everyone talking.

I love my job!!!
