DeSales yes, CAL not so much.
I haven't seen DeSales against a team with a legitimate air game, but the front seven look as good as any I've seen. DeSales problem will be if they ever find themselves playing from behind. That defense may need to generate some points as I just don't see enough weapons on offense. But yes, the defense is as good as you will find in 2a.
CAL lost some key pieces to graduation. That front four isn't near as good as last season, especially at pressuring the passer. Everyone wants to blame their struggles on the QB being out. They got bigger issues, namely the trenches, that the QB coming back won't be enough to overcome.

Butler, and Ballard both aired it out. But most teams will have trouble keeping us out of the backfield. We have a nasty pass rush from both ends. Weâve had no issues scoring this year. We have a staple of backs that along with our o-line just start wearing defenses down. Thatâs exactly what we did to Butler. Pffadt our qb is also a threat to run.
Donât kid yourself about CAL. That front four is really good. They are our rival, so we will get everything they have. If we are lucky enough to get by them then weâll make the long trip to Mayfield. That one can go either way but Mayfield does have the home field advantage so it will be tough. But whoever comes out of the West I believe wins 2A.

IMHO, if you're not on the list above, you have no shot at a title. None whatsoever.
Not too bad.
3A and 4A are the only two classes left that could keep me from my list.

As far as 1,2,3A. If beechwood and mayfield win their class I think corbin wins 3A. If they donât, Iâll go with belfry. I say this because itâs hard to judge how good teams are based on their competition with other opponents. If they are as tough as everyone gives them and wins their class. I think corbin wins theirs. They beat mayfield and should have beat beechwood at home, but thatâs another story. So Iâm either going with
1A beechwood
2A mayfield
3A corbin or belfry depending on the outcome of 1/2A
Iâm still setting pretty as well. I think 6,5, and 4 are probably locks. 1,2,3 will still be interesting but Iâll stick with my picks.
Beechwood
Mayfield
Corbin.

I'm sitting pretty well too... only pick that is not going to happen is 3A ( and i wasn't super confident in it anyways! But after watching the film on Danville, my confidence in Mayfield has gone up!:1:

How would you not pick them over Belfry? Central killed Belfry this year. Corbin beat Central.

If you look at the date on his post it was submitted on November 12th. That was before the Belfry-Central game and the Central-Corbin game. :Thumbs:

Before the hating starts, my pick in 3a goes back to the fact Boyle canât score if the team across plays defense. There high school and middle run same offense, and witnessed first hand. High school team only faced one team that had a good defense in Danville and what happened.
A few points:
We played your "good defense" and lit it up like a Christmas tree.
Our coaching staff is probably the best in the state and demonstrated that last night.
You didn't have the better player at ANY position on the field...and for some reason leading up to the game you gave us ZERO respect.
But hey...at least you got that middle school "title", right?!?! Congrats!
Enjoy the crow, eat it like a man.

IMO etowns defense was tougher than Corbin's. Not saying anything negative about Corbin's because they played well. We may have lost a game we should have one but didn't because I believe we beat ourselves but I truly believe that etown defense was maybe one of the best defenses we faced all year.

Is it to late for my picks? I'll give it a shot: 1A Beechwood, 2A Danville, 3A Boyle (hate to pick against my Pirates but I have a feeling), 4A Franklin Simpson (I just got a feeling) 5A Covington Catholic, 6A- I'm still thinking, I'll let you guys know tomorrow evening. Some may not agree but I feel confident with my picks!!!

We forget I think as fans that these are kids playing. Not us as fans but kids. Based on what the two teams last night are losing from graduation BOTH teams have a ton of talent not only coming back but coming up. I believe we both will see each other again. Unfortunately one team has to lose and it could go either way in any game. Proud of both teams heart and effort. There was not one kid out there not giving it their all, they have all been working hard for many many months. They are the ones that play, not us. We don't know what they are dealing with on the field. It's our jobs as parents and fans to just encourage our team, nothing more. Help them through the losses and be excited for them and celebrate with them through the victory's and keep them humble. IMO as a BCHS players dad.

More points:
Etowns defense was a tough matchup for the Boyle Co running game because of their speed and aggressiveness. Corbin, although good, was a better matchup because of their lack of team speed. We could outmuscle AND outquick the Redhounds.
The team speed of Boyle's O/D on the turf was a huge factor in the game.
All of the points scored by BC last night were scored by sophomores...excluding points by the kicker.
Boyle has the highest enrollment in school history this year and will almost certainly move to 4A after next season.

I really dont know what etown is losing for next year but if they aren't losing much, that will be a fun team to watch and a challenge for many that come in contact with them. Fast and relentless.

ETOWN losses, a LOT. I think they had 20+ seniors. They were really good last season, underrated then too, but that strong junior class. This year they just had the misforturne of being on Boyle's side. Etown and Boyle should have been the title game, in hindsight. In my mind Etown is the 2nd best team in 3A. Boyle a clear first.

I feel my picks are safe right now (Trinity wins easily). So other than the Johnson Central game which shocked me not bad. 3A I was the least confident about. I underestimated Franklin Simpson. I was rooting for JC but unfortunately Franklin Simp was better, todyay.
