Highlands makes a lot of good teams look bad. A least SC plays them. SK won't even play them and their non district schedule is embarrassing for a 6A team. SC is the reason Madison Central is no longer ranked and after the Tates Creek game that will be the third 6A team SC has played before the they start their district schedule. How many 6A teams has SK played? Will they even be prepared to play a 6A team when they play SC? I'll remember your post when SK comes back to reality.

 

Scott County plays Harrison County that is something to brag about.

Make sure you remember it when SK gives Scott County end of the season home loss!

You are correct, Highlands does make a lot of good teams look bad. I did say "IF".

 

One could possibly make a case that the soft beginning to SK's schedule is part of a plan to build the teams confidence and conditioning early so they'll be better prepared mentally and physically for the "tough" part later in the year.

SC played two 4A schools and two 6A schools. So Harrison County isn't any good. SC's schedule is still harder than SK's. SC could have no scheduled Highlands and scheduled one of the teams that SK has played and we'd still be 4-0 just like you. It must suck to be 4-0 and on the outside looking in while SC is 3-1 and #3. :lol:

Keep dreaming. No way SK beats SC at home. No way. As Charles would say.....

Maxpreps offers a different perspective :

 

1 Trinity (Louisville) 82.2 3-0

2 St. Xavier (Louisville) 42.8 3-1

3 Simon Kenton (Independence) 37.5 4-0

4 Scott County (Georgetown) 37.3 3-1

5 Male (Louisville) 35.3 3-1

6 Butler (Louisville) 31.7 2-1

7 Pleasure Ridge Park (Louisville) 28.9 4-0

8 Eastern (Louisville) 28.8 3-1

9 Henderson County (Henderson) 28.6 2-2

10 Bryan Station (Lexington) 26.5 3-1

11 Henry Clay (Lexington) 23.5 2-2

That's fine and dandy I just think SC's schedule has better prepared them to beat SK at the end of the year than SK's schedule has prepared them to beat SC at SC. SC has already played the best team they'll see and learned from it. SK won't see the best team they'll see until they come to SC.

Too bad nobody cares about MaxPreps except for SK fans. Is this another fan vote thing like when Shelby Valley won the national title in basketball a couple of years ago?

Is SK deserving of a Top 10 rating? I really don't know, but, here's my thing with them. Everyone talks about how weak there schedule is, how it's a JV schedule, how embarrassing it is to play all these smaller schools, etc, etc.. Honestly, I call crap on that one.. I'm gonna use a comparison: Let's use WCentral as a comparable school.

 

WCentral has played 1a-Mayfield, 3a-Ft Campbell, 4a-FSimpson and 6a-Meade Co...

SKenton has played 1a-Beechwood, 2a-Danville, 4a-Holmes and 5a-Pulaski Co...

 

Do you honestly see much difference in the toughness of schedules. Matter of fact, if I had to pick a winner, I'd pick Danville over Ft C, Holmes over FS and Pulaski over Meade. I would pick Mfd over Bwood, but, still that's 3 out of 4 similar opponents that I'd give the teams SK played as a favorite over the ones WCentrals played. I never hear anyone calling WCs schedule a JV schedule or that they should be embarrassed by it and it certainly hasn't kept them from being one of the Top ranked 5a teams out there. Plus, when you're a 6a team, chances are the majority of the non-district games are going to be against smaller class schools. Look at any of them. You'll see the same thing.

 

If SK smaller school opponents were cupcake smaller opponents, I'd tend to agree with what some are saying, but, since when was Beechwood, NCC and Danville considered a cupcake, regardless of class. Those teams have been knocking out bigger opponents and winning championships for years. Maybe Bwood and NCC are down in comparison to past teams, but, do you think SK had a magic wand and knew this was going to be the case before the schedule was made?

 

It's obvious to me that some on here have an agenda with SK or UK#1fan or something. Granted, he's over the top with his confidence, but, thus far, his teams backed it up. Only time will tell if that continues. SK is in a tough situation, having to play in the same class as Trinity, so, chances are, there won't be many, if any, state championships coming thru the door for them or any other 6a team, but, you could throw Highlands, CCath, BGreen and every other state school if they had to play in Trinitys class.

 

Like I said, don't know if SK is a Top 10 team or not, but, I'd think they have just as much claim as Henderson Co, BStation and a couple of the other Louisville schools. Have these teams done anymore than SK has?

Funny how everyone clamored to it's validity when Trinity was ranked #1 in the nation on Maxpreps, last year. Seems like when someone's team isn't ranked too good with a certain poll, people call it out as BS, but, when it favors them, they talk about how accurate it is. It's kinda like recruiting. A kid is unranked on Scout, a 2 star on ESPN, a 3 star on rivals and a 4 star on 247. The fans of the team that signs him, all you hear, is we got this 4 star kid out of so and so. You could flip any of these rating services and all you'll hear is the highest rated one.

UK#1 enjoys being provocative. He has even rebuked some of my remarks for being anti - sk, and I have a son playing for SK. He has ruffled Conner fans because he asserted that their team was over rated. He has made a lot of brash statements about SK success, well before the team started out 4-0. A lot of folks in NKy thought, and still think SK football is toast. In a way uk#1 has cultivated a lot of anti SK sentiment. The amazing thing though, is that even though his arguments are emotive, he has thus far been right about SK, and, I believe he is right about Conner as well. No disrespect to Conner or to Barker, but I'm having doubts about Conner on the defensive side of the ball.

Correct spelling for "Conner"

Well it also had something to do with the fact that Trinity destroyed everyone on their schedule last year. A schedule that most schools in KY would have struggled to have had a winning record against last year. Also they were ranked #1 in more than one poll outside of BGP and Maxpreps.

UK#1 fan has not ruffled any Conner fans, as a matter of fact, he provides daily comical relief. As far as Simon Kenton goes, they will be exposed very soon. Their schedule has been an absolute joke and it's even more laughable to see their fans get on this board and attempt to defend it with silly comparisons. I do find it interesting however how much Simon Kenton fans (especially UK#1 fan) are enamored with Conner and their QB. It's been non stop bashing on their team and the kid since day 1. I hope all of the Simon Kenton fans continue to worry about a 5A team. Perhaps they should worry about beating all of the 1A and 2A teams they scheduled.
