This list is terrible.

You dont even have the defending state champs in your top 10 (Paducah Tilghman)? You also have Sheldon Clark at 8, some polls will have them pre season #1, they return almost everything off of a fina four team. The team that beat Sheldon Clark:; Somerset, returns a 3000 yard passer and one of the best athletes in the mountains.

My spring top 10

1-Paducah Tilghman -Sam Cox is back at QB, and PT returns their best player ATH Josh Forrest.

2- Sheldon Clark - A lot of talent, Mikie Moore, Avery Ray, Matt Slone and returning senior QB Austin Stepp

3-Somerset- Manning to Storm Johnson got the Briar Jumpers to state once, and the duo do it again this season.

4- Mason County. - Will Neal Pawsat get healthy, if he can the Royals have championship talent.

5- Central - Anthony Wales rushed for 2000 yards as a soph, and Central had to play a lot of young kids last season due to injury.

6- Union County. - Bring back starting QB, both leading rusher, and leading reciever.

7-Belfry - Who is gonna feel in the shoes for Thomas Varney. Belfry bring back alot of good players up front

8-Elizabethtown - Kyle Todd, brother of Chris Todd(Auburn) Threw for 1900 yards as a soph last season.

9-Fleming County- The Pathers are going to have a new coaching staff, but the new guys have a lot to worth with. Fleming brings back almost all of their defense, and several key skill kids on offense.

10-Estill County - Estill returns a lot of rushing yards and look to make it over the hump and finally beat Breathitt Co.

Hon. Mention 10-15

11-Pike County Central
12-Russell
13-Specer County
14-Breathitt County
15-Henry County

#2 on your list Sheldon Clark, matt slone graduated. But they have Kristian Skyles #10 returning (5'8" 185lbs runs a 4.46 40 yard dash, benches 350lbs as a sophmore) .Top 100 sophmores in the nation by National Underclassmen recruiting service.
