Breathitt is a big victory whether some of you all would like to admit it or not. They went to the 3A state championship last season and they basically returned their entire team. Plus they have a D-I signee in Channing Fugate. Fact is they have the target on their back this season unlike last. Belfry, Johnson Central, and a few others had the target on their backs last season because they where some of the state's best regardless of class. When you have the big ole target on your back, your going to get a teams best effort. Just ask chemas-microsoft-com:p once they got into the playoffs. Knox Central hung right in there with them because they where the #1 seed and favorite out of the east which put that target on their back.

I know some of you are getting so upset over rankings. Who cares about rankings? Just because you are ranked does it mean you’re automatically put in the state championship game? No it doesn't. It puts a target on your back.
