Campbell is clearly the top team in the 10th' date=' but they aren't the elite team that the 10th region has typically had in the last 10 or so years. Many years the best team was a top 5 team in the state. I'm not sold Campbell is a top 25 team. All that is to say, while Campbell should be a strong favorite, I wouldn't be surprised if one of 4-5 teams were to beat them when it counts.[/quote']

 

I am not sure I would agree with this post. I think Campbell is going to be very tough out this year. We will just see how it plays out.

I think you are correct.

 

And they probably still have a sour taste in their mouths the way their opening game at Rupp played out. They should be a very focused squad this season.

I believe taking the Camels lightly this year would be a big mistake for most teams. As long as they stay focused, and don't let up, they'll be a tough out for most teams.

This!

 

Also, Coach Russell has really stepped up the schedule this year to keep them focused.

I think the problem for the Camels this year will be that they will have the target on their backs. No one will take them lightly. I think a few teams did that last year and got burnt.

The experience from Rupp last season will be huge for Campbell County.

 

I don't know enough about all of the teams to rank 10, but you know that Campbell County, Holmes, Newport Central Catholic, and Covington Catholic are going to be four teams who show up on plenty of people's lists.

 

How does the transfer to Holmes change the equation of a game between the Bulldogs and Newport Central Catholic?

It doesn't.

It doesn't.

 

Is he not expected to start? I'd have to think he'd make at least some difference, especially if it's giving them depth at guard, and even more so if he's capable of starting.

 

Definitely seems like it'd be sort of an awkward matchup between NCC and Holmes. You'd think Holmes would want to use their guards to force the tempo and attack from the perimeter while NCC would want to slow the pace and work inside-out with their bigs opening up things for everyone else.

Don't get me wrong, he improves Holmes depth. However, they have no one that can guard McDonald and Weyer, and the Breds can run with them.

I think Holmes would have a chance if they pressed the whole game without ever letting up... even if they go down by 30 in the first half because of it.

 

NCC has 4 significant players.... I'd make them run like Forrest Gump the whole game.

Stupid is as stupid does.

BGP just forgets about Grant Co. They won the district last year, and while they graduated their two big players Cummins and Hicks, they keep the core of the team with and have two players who should receive serious consideration for 8th region player of the year in Austin Johnson and Seth Adkins. This years senior class has played together since 3rd grade and I challenge you to find a more close knit group of teammates. Don't sleep on Grant County.

Welcome to BGP!

 

I'm looking forward to seeing Grant against Holmes this year. I've heard good things about Johnson and Adkins.

I think it's more the players and coaches at Grant are unknown. When you have little info on the coach that makes it hard to find out how the team will do. But I agree with you, Grant is being overlooked. I think they'll be very good this year.
