Looks good.

But I was thinking Sheldon Clark would be ranked before Painstville or they would have dropped down since they lost to them?

I'm excited to see if Phelps moves up on the list.
Things may change after the All A is over with.

[Benchwarmer]

Didn't Knott Central beat valley about a week ago?

[Benchwarmer]

Leslie has pretty good team. They lost to Breathitt by two points.

[Benchwarmer]

So the 14th has only 2 good teams in it?

I do not agree. Seeing that PHS beat SC at SC with a healthy PHS squad. PHS was missing a starter in Jarrell, who makes this team completely different. If she plays....SC would have lost at the EXPO.

The list looks ok. Maube would have Phelps above Paintsville though. Just because of the loss.

I agree with the results of this poll, that the 14th region only has two teams worthy of being ranked in the EKY top 20 right now. Knott Central did beat SV, but they also currently sit at 8-9 on the year. It's hard to get ranked when you have a losing record.

I agree that the next best candidate from the 14th would be Leslie Co. With a good week, they will be knocking on the door to be ranked next week...

where is betsy layne at, they have lost but to top 20 teams.

Betsy Layne is 6-7 on the year. They have some disappointing losses including by 3 to Magoffin Co, by 14 to Letcher Co. Central, and a blowout loss to Paintsville by 27. They have some tough losses including to Breathitt Co. by 10 and by 1 to Phelps in the first round of the All "A". They played very well in the Lexington Catholic Tournament during Christmas break against Madisonville-North Hopkins and Owensboro Catholic only losing by 6 against MNH and 3 against OC.

I don't have them currently in the top 20 but I believe they will win some region games, finish the season with a nice record, and be in the top 15 in EKY.

Letcher County Central's got a great record, but I would place them farther down the list.

[GodChick]

magoffin should be above sheldon clark...they've beat them! :confused:

Just to clarify once again, the rankings are an average of the staff members who vote on them. If two people vote a team higher than another member has ranked them, then it will average out that they are higher. Sometimes teams that have beat other teams end up below them. The best way to look at it is an average of everyone's opinions as well as basing it on the team's season as a whole.

So, in other words, put them into a hat, shake it real hard, throw them up in the air and pick them in order from the floor

Just kidding, great job to the Staff in putting this together. It's up to us as fans to agree to disagree with the rankings, just as we would the college polls. This is perfect for the members to express opinion, which is what the site is for in the first place :thumpsup:

I'm all for people disagreeing with it. Just a friendly reminder that just because one team does beat another will not guarantee them a ranking above them. Just the way the cookie crumbles I suppose.

Exactly. Not every team will be ranked ahead of a team they beat. If some 1-10 squad beats one that is 12-3, are you going to rank the first one higher? I don't think so, that's not how rankings work. You look at a team's ENTIRE body of work.

[Hilbily]

Good job on the rankings.... LCC earned there spot.

[and_1]

Knott beat Shelby Valley, gave Letcher everything they wanted and then some. Yes Knotts record is not on the good side but they are not playing the easiest of schedules. Playing the Lady of the South Tournament in which they played North Hardin and Boone County. Both of which are in the top 25 in the state week in and week out.

Knott is not given credit.

[thetribe]

Hey, I ranked Knott and put them above Shelby Valley in mine. They just didn't receive enough votes to put them in this top 20.

[-Teamplayer-]

I agree with this list..as of right now. A couple of teams should be moving up

[bballer9]

Where's Rockcastle county?

[More Cowbell]

Where's Rockcastle county?

Only 13th - 16th regions are included for this list.

[BlackcatAlum]

Our next rankings will not be posted until Monday, February 2nd.

[BatCat11]

I think after Sc's impressive run at the all the will move up a few spots
