Thanks EKU. I skipped 2 lines when I printed. I've never done this before, and to be honest, it was a little overwhelming.

I just make it look easy nicker:

Don't worry. Ill be back next week unless you just want to do all the work from now on :biggrin: Ill also let you handle all my other duties nicker:

[dawg fan]

my 3A

1 .Boyle
2. Belfry
3. Central - St. X win was legit
4. Paducah Tilghman - This team is always a Jekyl and Hyde.
5. Lex Cath - Starting to earn a little more respect from me.
6. Bell Co. - Wayne win helped but they still haven't beaten anyone convincingly
7. Corbin - Feels like they were all hype, maybe Danville is a 2A beast
8. Caldwell - Look for them to move up
9. Russell - Schedule will allow for wins but how convincingly will determine how far up they go
10. Garrard

Adair, Etown, Hart will get the chance to sort out which of them are top 10 worthy when they get to play each other later this year.

Lawrence Co. slipped from my top 10 but can get back there.

Lawrence co is better than corbin, russell or bell county! What's it gonna for you all to see that corbin is not a top 15 team little lone a top 10 team.
Need to spreed them voters out 70 percent of them must be from corbin.
Russell does not have near the talent that lc has, Russell plays in one of the two worst districts in 3a. You All must be voting for the coach, but guess whath he dont play.

I hope we get a chance to see this huge talent gap between Lawrence County and Russell in the playoffs.:biglmao:

[knox fan]

knox central should be in the top 5 in 4a not even ranked come distict time youll see them right up there

[Gator95]

I hope we get a chance to see this huge talent gap between Lawrence County and Russell in the playoffs.:biglmao:

Then you better hope they don't see belfry in the second round lol

[KYHSFBFan]

As far as 3a goes, you can make a case for either Boyle or Belfry. Personally, the C.Hardin & Danville wins by Boyle are better wins than any Belfry has, although Belfry has a decent win over NCC and are the defending champs.. The Central win over St X preceeded by a solid win over CAL gives them, imo, enough for the #3 spot, despite a bad loss to Knox, who they led most of the game. I certainly wouldn't penalize them for a competitive to loss to 6a Manual.. IMO, the next 4 could be thrown in a hat and you wouldn't have much of a complaint. That would be Tilghman, Caldwell Co, Lex Catholic and E"Town. Tilghmans wins over McCracken and Graves are solid and their 2 losses to CHardin and Mayfield aren't bad losses. Caldwell has 1 loss on their resume, a 2 point loss at the hands of a 5a ranked Christian Co team. They have quality wins over N.Hardin and F.Simpson. Lex Cath played toe to toe with a very good 6a ranked Ryle team,who took Highlands to the woodshed this past week and also defeated Cov Cath, who's better than their record indicates. B.Green isn't a bad loss either. E'Town is the undefeated of the 4, but, have also played the weakest schedule, although the N.Oldham and N.Hardin wins showed that they do have some game. The final 3 could be decided between Bell Co, Corbin, Russell, Garrard Co or Lawrence Co. Again, they all have some positives and all have some negatives. Not much difference in the 5 and they'll likely rotate in and out of the bottom tier of the Top 10 from week to week.

Yeahhhhhhh, Danville is nowhere close to as good of a win as NCC. NCC has played in the state title game like 5 out of the last 6 years and will play in it again this year. You clear top 4 imo is Belfry, Boyle, Lex Cath, Central in no order. Danville a better win than NCC..... Can't get over that one lol

[KYHSFBFan]

I could see the NCC win being as good as the Danville win, but, it's pretty much a wash either way. No way, however, does Belfry have anywhere close to as good a win as Boyle does over C.Hardin. At this point, I can't put Lex Cath on the same level as the other top teams. IMO, they're more on the Tilghman, Caldwell and E'Town level. Because of how Cov Cath has played, it's hard to call a 1 point win over them a great win, although it may prove to be before all's said and done. Nothing else on their resume is much to write home about.

Agree with everything in this post.

Although Tates Creek is 1-3, they have proven to be a much better team than people were giving them credit for. They just lost a 70-64 shootout to a Top 12-13 team in 6A Henry Clay in which they gained nearly 700 yards. Are they close to Central Hardin? Noope..not at all... but it's not a "bad" win as people were wanting to portray after the Pike County Bowl.

On the LexCath point...the Knights also lost their QB until November with a broken collarbone. I still consider them #4 because of the quality of teams they have played.. but I think the Top 3 are clear.

To be honest if not for the "What the heck?" loss to Knox Central I think Central would be the clear #1 team... even over Boyle. I could argue they have the two best wins of the lot.. I think CAL may be better than Central Hardin





Ranking the Best Wins in 3A (Factoring in Competition vs. Result):
1. St X (Central)
2. McCracken County (Tilghman)
3. CAL (Central)
4. Central Hardin (Boyle)
5. Anderson County (Boyle)
6. NewCath (Belfry)
7.. Covington Catholic (LexCath)
8. Danville (Boyle)
9. North Oldham (Etown)
10. Ironton, OH (Russell)
11. Graves County (Tilghman)
12. Tates Creek (Belfry)
13. Franklin-Simpson (Caldwell Co)
14. Bell County (Boyle)
15. Nelson County (Bardstown)

Shelby Valley will have to earn respect again just like last year. They have not been fully healthy in any of the games so far but this bye week may help them out. I think this Friday will show exactly how good some teams are. Should be a shakeup in the rankings.

Exactly.. That's a head scratcher, but, at the same time, Central led the majority of that game and Knox kinda snuck in there and stole it at the end. Plus, with exception to that blowout loss to Bryan Station, Knox has had a good season and is a borderline Top 10 4a team, so, as each week passes, that loss doesn't look quite as bad. I do think the St X win vaulted them into the Top 3 easily and a close win the week before over a good CAL team, cements them into the upper echelon of their class.

[EKUAlum05]

What's on the docket this week for 3A in terms of statement win opportunities:

Boyle takes on Collins... would be another quality win
Belfry vs. Pikeville... would be a Top 10 win for the season
LexCath vs. Mad. Central..... borderline Top 15-20 win with the way mad. Central has started
Etown vs. Bardstown- Not a massive win, but Bardstown is a Top 15 3A team
Corbin vs. Southwestern- Would be a Top 10 win

Ranking all six classes is not that easy. You have 12 people from all over the state making judgements on 60 teams and not a lot of time to do it. The only poll that ranks Belfry ahead of Boyle County is this one and that's alright. Our fan base has a distinct southern flair and are as knowledgeable as any in the state. These are weekly polls and they will change all year long. I put Central at #3 because they beat one of the best teams in the state this week, but they still have that loss to Knox Central. Other voters weren't as impressed with their win. After Male beat the heck out of Trinity, one voter still thinks Trinity is #1. I can understand that vote too. Male has owned Trinity in the regular season over the last few years, but Trinity beats them in the playoffs, where it counts. The polls will be much more accurate as the season goes along. As one amazing woman recently told me "don't get your panties in a wad!!!".

I was just kidding, but thank you for thinking I am amazing.

AP has Belfry #1 as well

http://usatodayhss.com/2015/kentucky-foo...p-ap-polls

I dont agree with it either

[Granny Bear]

Belfry/Boyle's ratings are just about as close as you can get. One vote for Belfry changes to Boyle, and it's a dead heat. I happen to agree with Belfry as #1, even though I'm not part of the vote.

[Mjolnir]

SV can and will win remainder of regular season games. Maybe then they will be recognized and put in the top ten. Most of remaining schedule looks like starters can get a lot of rest.

I doubt it. Beating a bunch of weak sisters of the poor does little but pad your record. Beating these teams convincingly and a few other teams having a bad loss or 2 and yeah, they could get back in there, but, at this point, with the schedule they have remaining, they'll need some help from some other teams.

[KYHSFBFan]

For anyone who may know, what kind of team does Bishop Brossart have? Who would be a comparable team? Do they deserve some Top 10 consideration, should a Bethlehem, Hazard or Fairview lose or are they just a bebefactor of a really weak schedule?

[Mjolnir]

Not involved in the vote,but Boyle should be number 1 in 3a. I love belfry football,just trying to be real. Predicting Paintsville to have a bad game and start a down hill slide. SV should be ranked above Leslie County, right now, not after they beat them by 20. JohnsonCentral may weel bring state trophy to the mountains.

Bishop Brossart received some votes in the poll.

[Hatz]

Killed LCA & sparked Leslie county on the road last year before they beat Prestonsburg in the region championshio who hammered Danville. Where do you get your logic?

Last year, isn't this year. :Thumbs:

[Hatz]

Not Danville.... Boyle is better than Franklin County and only beats the Ads by like 18.

Danville may be the most improved team in Kentucky as Corbin found out the hard way

Actually Boyle put a running clock on the Ads and then cleared the benches. It was a lot worse than the final score.

But I do agree. Danville is a better team this year. Clevenger is building HIS team.

if your Black Bears played against Boyle County you'd change your mind.

I doubt it....they played against Belfry!

Boyle was up 42-6 midway through the 3rd. quarter with a running clock. JV finished the rest of the game. Final score nowhere close to how the game went. I do agree that Danville is improved.
