Holmes by no way deserves to be ranked#3 in Kentucky. They are not ranked in the top ten in the Herald Leader or the Courier Journal. In the last 7 games they lost to a 12-11 Ryle,beat a 10-13 Dixie Hts by 3, a 14-7 NCC by 3, a 14-8 Campbell Cty by 2 ( If the Warren Ctrl game had not been cancelled they would have suffered their 6th loss and we will yet see about the Boone Cty game) yet they keep moving up in the BGR poll. I would not favor them getting out of their region at this point. The NKY and Louisville influence has taken over this BGR site and EKY is in the underdog now. We have teams like KCC, PCC, and Corbin and a few others could be ranked.

Look at their past schedules. They still had close games to average teams, but they went to the state championship both seasons. This team has only lost to two in-state teams, Ryle and Ballard. Ryle by no means is a push over - they've knocked off Lafayette and Highlands.

Just because a team doesn't beat their opponent by 15+ every game doesn't mean they aren't that good.
