I wanna hear the Pikeville and Belfry fans reactions to this one.

I know a lot of people think you shouldn't drop if you win...
but it's hard to argue against Pikeville the way they keep beating good teams.

With the exception of Corbin and Prestonsburg being too low, everything else isn't that bad.

[EKUAlum05]

I think it is correct having Pikeville over Belfry. They earned it!

Pikeville has wins over 3 of the remaining 9 teams in the Mountain Top 10.

I still think Middlesboro and Bell are being a bit over valued. Seeing how Pburg played Pikeville Head to Head @ Pikeville (tossup game that literally came down to the last play). It is clear they have a strong argument they should be ahead of Middlesboro who Pikeville beat with relative ease at Mboro less Pugh.

I agree they've earned it and I am shocked no Hazard?

Just a few changes I think need to be made.....

1. Pulaski
2. Pikeville/Johnson Central
3. Belfry
4. Williamsburg
5. Corbin
6. Prestonsburg
7. Hazard
8. Middlesboro
9. Bell County
10. Knox/Paintsville

I do think my Middlesboro YellowJackets are ranked a little high still but I do think they can still hang with any team on a good night... I dont get your logic or anyone elses really about Pburg being so good because they lost by a point to Pikeville... If thats the case shouldn't they be ahead of Belfry also lol..

[ThisIsIt14]

Pikeville has improved every single game since their opener against pburg I think people are starting to ride a little too high Prestonsburg this year... First they get no love then too much I agree the Pburg should be ranked ahead of Mboro because they have won 5 straight and are playing outstanding football.. Do I think their the better team no not by a long shot... WYMT can see that also I guess..

Prestonsburg has a lot of experience and a lot of playoff experience as well. They were a touchdown away from being in the final four last year and they returned practically their whole team. It wouldn't shock me to see them in the state title game this year?

You left out JC. Paintsville I don't think deserves mention with the rest.

Personally if I were doing a more comprehensive ranking of the Top 20:
1. Pulaski
2. Pikeville (JC may be better but Pikeville's resume is asweome)
3. Johnson Central
4. Belfry
5. Corbin
6. Williamsburg
7. Pburg
8. Middlesboro
9. Bell
10. Knox Central
11. Hazard
12. Southwestern
13. North Laurel
14. Pike Central
15. Lawrence County
16. Letcher Central
17. Rockcastle County
18. Whitley County
19. Paintsville
20. Leslie Co

I went back and corrected it. This is a very good top 20. I wouldn't change much if anything. I think hazard is a little better, but really the 9-13 spots could all be interchangeable?

Middlesboro would have beaten Somerset last year if it wasn't for a phony call by Randy Frazier to go for two after a td... So your logic still makes no sense Mboro returned practically everyone also from the same team that lost by less to Somerset then Pburg did last year in the playoffs..
Somerset-28
Prestonsburg-21

Somerset-19
Middlesboro-13 OT

Middlesboro led 13-10 in the 4th because coach frazier went for 2 and failed if not we would have won 14-10

Still no sense.. Both teams are good I just dont get the logic that Pburg is so much better then Mboro

Kind of a funny observation... Prestonsburg is the only team you abbreviated. I guess saying "P-burg" is second nature to everyone. lol...

...

If a game's final score ends up a one score margin (8 pts), you can say it was even. It was for both M-boro and P-burg against Somerset.

Prestonsburg is minus ONE starter (only played defense) and TWO non-starters from last year's team. Is Middlesboro's "practically everyone back" as close to literal as P-burg ?

We lost 3 starters a wr which we dont pass anyways.. our backup qb but he was playing most of last season because our starter was injured I think we lost a lineman or two on switched to bell... Either way it's gonna be a showdown if or may I say when we play but I just dont get why everyone thinks Pburg is so much better then Mboro their both practically even looking at every stat you can on them...

I'm saying if you go by the Pikeville game then Pburg should be ahead of Belfry as well lol... If you go by the Somerset game from last year it just so happened Middlesboro ran into them before Pburg..

Corbin getting no love from wymt.....They will later I promise. eriously:

Heck, Corbin doesn't even get any love from their own home town paper, the CORBIN Times Tribune.

[Pantherfan59]

Three takeaways from the WYMT top ten:

1) JC is ranked too high. They havent played anyone. Doesn't make sense to me.

2) Middlesboro is ranked too high in my opinion. On a neutral field, I don't see Middlesboro beating Corbin, Knox, or Bell.

3) This years version of the mountain top ten is absolutely stacked. 3 to 5 potential state champs in this top 10.

[topnotch]

that is A good one

[redhound93]

Because their lead sports writer, Les Dixon is a South Laurel homer. It has always been that way since he's been at the Tribune.

What do you mean....I see Les Dixon at Corbin games. :Cheerlead

If you don't like those comparisons then just go by this year's game with Pikeville? Prestonsburg took them down to the wire in a game that could have went either way and lost by one point. Middlesboro faces that same team only without their leading offensive threat and still gets beat by two scores. If he plays it could've been more like three or four scores? So I would say by that game alone Prestonsburg is the better team.

I just said you couldn't go by the Pikeville game because in that case pburg would be better then belfry also with that logic... See you people just pick and pluck what you want to show... Did you see in the Mboro vs Pikeville game where Mboro was inside the 20 with about 5 mins left in the 4th but a qb keeper on fourth knocked us from scoring could have easily been a 30-27 or 30-23 ball game... But hey you people can say what you want because it means nothing I guess atleast WYMT knows where PBurg should be and MBoro should be...

Wow you are delusional... Corbin maybe.. Bell maybe but doubt it... Knox no chance... Corbin definately could they are loaded..
Bell we already beat and even had a td called back in that game so it could have easily been 24-14... Home field doesn't mean that much in highschool..
Knox let me guess your a knox fan and you are delusional... Bell could have easily beaten Knox by 2 scores and should have really the same bell team Middlesboro beat.. Knox wouldn't stand but a small small chance even on neutral...

[ThisIsIt14]

^ He probally also thinks Knox would beat JC on a neutral field lmao... Man I tell you...

I believe pikeville also had several cases in which if things had went another way they could've scored two or three more times. Middlesboro should be happy. If Pugh played they would be even lower on the ranking. How do you know prestonsburg couldn't play with belfry? I'm not convinced of that as of right now?

Considering his name I doubt he's a Knox fan? I'm sure if you were a neutral party you probably wouldn't have the same opinions? Bell could have easily beat Middlesboro if a couple things went different. I think all three are pretty even with Corbin being a little better thab both, and any game they'd play against one another could go either way. I think Corbin would be favored in all of them though. That's just being realistic

IF this is your position with JC how is this not the same case for Pulaski? They have only played Corbin who has 4 wins against teams with a records of 9-16. Pulaski wins have come against teams with a record of 11-18. One of the wins came against Rockcastle County who has 4 of the total wins. Rockcastle County played PCC at home and won 22-20. Pulaski beat Rockcastle County 61-14 and JC beat PCC 58-12. Again why does the same standard not applied to Pulaski?

Believe me people on here dont have to have proven logic on here just whatever they decide is good enough in their small head is enough... No matter how hard you explain anything to them it doesn't matter they will say well Pulaski scored a total of 1 more point on rock than JC did on PCC and Rock beat PCC by 2 points so therefore in their head Pulaski would beat JC by 3 and thats enough for them to be ahead of Pikeville but not JC...
