I'd have Hopkinsville over Scott, and Collins instead of Manual. But these look pretty good.

I think CovCath should be ranked higher.

I think Dixie should be ranked.

 

Six of their seven losses have come against teams in this top 25 list. Dixie also has wins over two of the teams listed.

I can't believe MoCo is only 12th.

Perry Central seems significantly low.

Even though I'm a homer, I can't believe that Mason County is ranked.

 

Montgomery County is too low. Holmes is too high.

I think the polls no longer matter…..it is almost time to find out for real!

Even though I'm a homer, I can't believe that Mason County is ranked.

 

Montgomery County is too low. Holmes is too high.

 

I have to agree with you..

I think Dixie should be ranked.

 

Six of their seven losses have come against teams in this top 25 list. Dixie also has wins over two of the teams listed.

 

2 and 6 against top 25 teams and coming off of a big loss, should be at least in the top 10.......

Even though I'm a homer, I can't believe that Mason County is ranked.

 

Montgomery County is too low. Holmes is too high.

 

I've got Mason Co in the top 25. Not so much they've earned it as they haven't done anything to prevent them from having a spot. I like the win at Lex Cath and the win at Rowan is decent. Worst loss is to a Johnson Central team that is not too far from being ranked.

Even though I'm a homer, I can't believe that Mason County is ranked.

 

Montgomery County is too low. Holmes is too high.

 

I was surprised too, but glad another 10th region team made the rankings.

Any list that has Henry Clay in the top 20 is wrong.

I think the polls no longer matter…..it is almost time to find out for real!

 

Dead on Panda. The exhibition season is just about over. It's time to play for real.

Any list that has Henry Clay in the top 20 is wrong.

 

Very true.................
