Agree? Disagree?

 

 

Thoughts on this week's rankings?

I would have Boyle and Lincoln over Mason and maybe Boyle over Station

Boyle will get a chance this week to make a move.

Boyle County and Mason County both won their games last week. Neither did anything unexpected or to warrant Boyle County jumping over Mason County.

Just can't see Taylor county at #2........and I just saw them on Saturday..

The win over Henderson County has gotten them there. I know Henderson County was missing their big man that game but to date Taylor County has only lost to one KY team against a pretty good schedule.

Too much weight placed on the Henderson win?

How is Dunbar, a team who lost to Dixie Heights by 15, top 20 over Holmes?

 

I get it, they have a few good wins but come on. They're 12-14!!

 

Holmes lost three games in December but since have gone 16-2 and are sitting at 20-5.

 

(Waiting for the..."Holmes can prove they belong this week against Newcath")

A lot of truth to that.:thumb:

 

Which is IMHO what separates it from the others.

Holmes was the last team out.

 

Since January 9th with Dunbar at full strength they have defeated:

 

LexCath

Boyle County

Henry Clay

Lafayette

Manual

Doss

 

They have lost to:

 

LCA

LexCath

Wayne County

Bryan Station

 

 

All great wins. No bad losses. The key words are Dunbar at full strength and until the LCA game that they dropped on January 9th they were not at full strength for a myriad of reasons. One could argue that since January 10th Dunbar has the best quality wins amongst all teams in the state. Who else has defeated 5 ranked teams in that span and while Henry Clay isn't ranked they aren't a gimme game by any stretch of the imagination.

And the same could be said about Southwestern...say what you want about the way Holmes lost to Mason Co (I can guarantee if that game is played again in a few weeks at Rupp Arena, we see nowhere close to the same result) but they have taken care of business against teams they are supposed to beat, unlike Southwestern, who has losses to Pulaski CO, Madison Central, and Waggener.

Absolutely. It's a weekly poll based on what you have done lately. Not what you did two months ago or how good your record is. The AP poll has Hoptown in the top 10.

Southwestern was dropped from the rankings when they lost. They got back in this week after defeating Knott County Central.
