Yes, Danville is no longer in the top ten. The loss of Kishown Bartleson is a tremendous loss for them. We can re-evaluate their rankings when/if he returns. Without him they don’t appear to be a top ten team in CKY. Darrian Bell did have one of the best receptions that we will see all year.

I saw a tweet that said Florida will play Auburn once between now and 2030. That aint a conference.

This and this. I also think when dealing with UK football it is best to set a low bar so you’ll be pleasantly surprised when good things happen.

*hand raised!!!!

Paducah Tilghman is the #10 team in the computer rankings that has CovCath #1 and they just got whipped by a team that isn’t in the top ten. Hell, they got whipped another team that isn’t in the top ten earlier this season. But I am supposed to believe that these computers rankings are right about CovCath being #1? Nah, son. It don’t work like that.

The only thing that can change my mind is CovCath playing Male, Scott County or Trinity this year and defeating them. Male plays a better schedule than CovCath. They have better wins than CovCath. The best team CovCath will face this year will most likely be the winner of BG/South Warren. So by all means, what evidence is there that CovCath is the best team in the state? If you aren’t going to acknowledge how bad the computer rankings are...

Depends on the basis of your argument. That last argument had holes in it. What was your argument last July?

Those computer rankings are never close to accurate until the entire season is over. Any computer that has Mayfield, Highlands and Frederick Douglass ranked over Male and Paducah Tilghman at #10 should be recycled to a landfill somewhere. Those rankings make zero sense. A Cincinnati television station? In my experiences television stations are the worst when it comes to evaluating how good high school teams are. They don’t have people...

Agreed. Corbin and Boyle County seem close to matched up so if Boyle County is in the discussion then Mayfield deserves a spot in that discussion as well.

Because CDub knows there is a great discussion to be had somewhere down that wormhole. And yes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being the 3rd or 4th best team in state if you are accomplishing all of your goals. That’s the only mission. Accomplish all goals set as a team.

I posted my top 5 in here a long time ago. Male, Scott County, Trinity, CovCath and I chose Freddy D as my #5 and have entertained arguments from Boyle County fans who say Boyle County is better than Freddy D and I also stated that South Warren has an argument as well. Since I have Freddy D as #5 I lean with South Warren at #6 and Boyle County at #7. And yes, there will always be homers on this board. I get flack for not being a homer....

No surprise here. I received a text earlier today that said this Colorado team wouldn’t give South Warren a game. My guy was right.

What is the final score of this one?

Looks like Male, Scott County and Trinity need to step their schedule up and play Francis de Sales like the best team in the state CovCath did. They had the best team in the state tied at the half. Hope they pull it out against what has to be one of the best teams in the state of Ohio. And we all know how strong Ohio football is. Good luck Colonels!!!!! Represent!!!!!

Good deal. Ain’t nothing wrong with a struggle win. Especially against a 6A school.

At least try, right?

Had to check in and see if it was a running clock at halftime like usual.

Wow. Francis must be one of the top 3 teams in all of Ohio to be tied with CovCath. Wow.

Somerset is going to be the 1 seed. LCA and Danville are battling for second. If Kishown is out all year then I feel like they will get the 3 seed.

Missing Kishown big time.

I was hoping they’d be able to do fine without him but I was worried when they said he was out for sure this weekend. I’m glad they have the lead. They’ll get it done.

Nothing?

In the Wandale Robinson Watch section it should say that he has 227 yards receiving. Not 22 yards receiving. My apologies. I just noticed the typo.

Nah. That’s never been my argument. My argument has always been that if a kid is academically eligible to participate in an extracurricular activity then let him play. 99.9% of the kids have zero control of the situation around them. It isn’t fair to punish them. I do think that with the rules in place and worded as they are I’m not sure how anyone can prove without a shadow of a doubt that someone is being recruited to play for a high...

Exactly. And I know it would be difficult to prove that I did anything wrong as well.
