Who will be top 10 teams? Top 10 players?

**Footballforever74** · Feb 27, 17, 12:18 PM

This seaaon isn't even over.

CCH will be tops with little competition - IMO.
Fredrick and Kunkel are two of the best players and the rest will depend on off season development but expect Jake Walter, AJ Maher, and Aiden Ruthsatz to be in the top 10. Schreck from Dixie will be a contender.

But I agree, this season isn't over. This would be a great post / topic for next week or later in March.

Newport will be tough next season, returns all top 5 scorers as 2 are Seniors and 3 are Juniors next season.

^ Good point. And, the Burries kid may be a top 3 player in the region.

Also, cannot forget about Hall, of NCC, young man is a load and is so talented.

Top 5 in 17/18:
1. Fredrick
2. Kunkel
3. Burries
3a. Hall
4. Schreck

Just trying to keep it to the top players on a team.

1. CovCath---by a large margin.

^ Do they only lose Cole? Woww. Seems like there is a log jam of talent in Park Hills. Very good next year.

Cooper will be solid next year, a little behind CovCath, but wouldn't surprise me if they are able to play with them and come in at #2 next year. They return Kunkel, Runion, Walters, C. McNeil, Ollier, Schidler, have a really good freshman this year named Kevin Centers, plus a couple of their JV kids should develop into solid players. I expect them to still be pretty good but losing Hendrix and S. McNeil will hurt for sure

It sounds like Cooper and Newport should be good. However it is a different level at CCH:

- 4 starting Juniors return (Walter, Maher, Ruthsatz, CJ), two other current Juniors also contribute as well as a Sophomore (Davin) who was injured all year
- their JV team was the first ever to go undefeated (led by sophomores Thelen, Fleek, and Deere along with the Freshmen Maher - all of which would start varsity elsewhere)
- their freshmen team dominated KY schools by an avg margin of victory of over 25 points

Not sure how CCH is going to keep them all happy. Expect them to be playing in Rupp multiple times over the next few years!

Burries is good but I think you guys are reaching on top 3-5 good...and that's if he is even still at Newport.........

What about the Pittman kid? Was he a junior this year? Will he contribute next year?

Winning keeps kids/parents happy. Heck, some of the kids will be happy to be on the roster and to get to go to regionals and state every year

With the D1 offers rolling in for Mayer... will he for sure play basketball next season? I would think so, but anyone know more certain?

Also, is it possible that CCH has 3 of top 5 players next season... CJF, Ruthsatz, Mayer? If nothing else, maybe 3 of top 5 most productive.
