Maybe I don't fully realize what Boone returns. I had them struggling this year yet they're 12th in the poll.

 

Am I overstating what Boone lost from last year?

Clyde. We saw Boone in 7 on 7 tourneys and they have a good QB and some real good athletes. Also, they have Randy Moss's son joining the team. All that to be said, Tates creek handled them pretty easily in the 7 on 7s. Now, that doesn't take into consideration the O and D lines which Boone usually has some strength in. But I'm more inclined to think your assessment is closer to reality then 12th in state.

Votes for SK, but not Ryle? I'm shocked! Also, Boone is traditionally a power, between the tackles, running team. I don't think 7 on 7 results would tell you very much. Boone has a very strong Sophmore class led by Moss, Bowling and Floyd. Expect them to have a very strong year. SK has a lot to prove coming off a 2 win season. I'm surprised they even received votes. Ryle should have also recieved some votes.

To be fair to Boone they are NEVER going to shine in 7-on-7s with a 3-play pass offense.

Oh most definitely.

I believe Thad Moss is a freshman. He has the body to play up but he is not in the Boone sophomore class named above.

My mistake. Thad did play fresman ball for Boone last year though. Wonder if he stays there. He is a prototypical tight end.

I heard the Boone coach and EKUs coach discussing him. It seems he plans on staying there

Sorry, I wasn't clear in last post. I just wandered if Moss will stay at the Freshman level. Boone had a big tight end a couple of years ago that caught a few passes when Thompson's kid was QB. He could thrive with defenses focused on running plays.

 

There was some speculation over the summer that the family might move to FL to be with his big sister.

I got ya. Yeah, I'm not sure on that note.

I believe the TE you are thinking about may be Trevon Brown, who is now playing offensive line at Miami OH.

 

I am glad to see above that the plan is for Moss to stay in freshman ball. There is a big difference between varsity ball and freshman ball, even if you are as big and strong as Moss is. Even more so playing 6A ball where you are facing guys bigger and stronger every week.

 

Finally, my information is that the Moss family isn't moving.

Very poor initial showing by NKY and Fayette Cpounty. Maybe the last poll will be different.

Louisville is skewed due to Ballard and Male in with losing records last year. Especially Male. I would put Lafayette and Boone ahead of Male.

Last poll IS the only one that matters. Pre-season polls are for chest-thumpers and teams who know that's the last time they'll get noticed once what REALLY matters takes place.
