SK will win the 8th and Dixie will win the 9th.

No and no. But I understand your loyalty. There are some interesting rankings. Fleming minus their top player isn't top 25. I don't understand the love for Scott Co. that high. I think Lex team rankings are out of whack. Cordia hasn't played a game, top player ruled ineligible to date. Just a lot of interesting stuff. No love for Thomas Nelson?

I don't see anyway that Johnson Central is No. 15.

I disagree.

 

Doss beat PRP this summer easily. Lafayette beat PRP at PRP this summer and Trinity beat PRP THREE times this summer. They say its hard to beat a team three times but sometimes the other team just flat out better.

And when they start passing out trophies for summer, I'll pay more attention. With all due respect, I just disagree. I think PRP is a top 10 squad. If I'm wrong after a month or so, feel free to let me know about it.

Scott Co isn't the third best team in the state.
