Manual wasn't very impressive this week and Central was beaten by a Knox team who lost by a ton the week before. It tells me that Central is not at their normal level and are likely behind several other 3a teams right now. Boyle's win was impressive vs CH, who, imo, could play toe to toe with Manual.. PTs win vs McCracken looks better after this weeks big McCracken win over W.Central. The loss to CH was expected and they were competitive for 3 quarters before CHs size and depth got the better of them. IMO, Corbin has had 2 solid wins and look like they deserve to be in the conversation, at least, with the other top teams. Caldwell also made a big statement by handily beating a Top 5 4a team. Also, a 2 point loss to a strong Christian Co team, where they had a real possibility to win, also doesn't look bad, at all. Bell Co has an opportunity to get in the conversation, as well, with a win over Boyle today. 3a is really going to be a dog fight for whoever comes out of it.

This thread has even more meaning now.

 

Ha! How very forward-thinking of me to post it last week!
