after the top 7 or 8.......it looks like they may have thrown darts or picked names out of a hat??????????????? but with every other poll.....they are meaningless and only good for conversation......so let it rip!!!

[RCC9]

They may be using too much history from last year to come up with this year's list in some cases.

[magicfan217]

it's the coaches vote they use I am pretty sure....

 

But I think this poll shows that after the top few teams...nobody knows what's going to happen.

 

Just my opinion though, Sacred Heart is way to low. They are a top 5 team in the state.

My statement still applies! LOL!

 

I agree SH could be higher, but not sure about top 5 just yet.

BGP usually puts out a good ranking. Mercer will keep moving up. Bullitt East moves down without Duvall. Sacred Heart is s top 10 team, but they are young and have to prove it. They will get their chance playing Highlands and Eastern early in Dec

Simon Kenton (17) defeated Manual (7) in the Scott Co Scrimmages both halves. Either one is too high or another is too low. Just sayin...

[hydraman]

Campbell should be on this list or Mason County should be lower. I understand Mason over Campbell right now but not that high above. IMHO

SK has Ryle, NDA and HC out of the gate. We will find out soon enough what they bring to the table. No need to fuss on somebodies preseason rankings.

I wouldn't place too much emphasis on a scrimmage. And a different report said SK played a limited amount of players and won't the second half by one.

I think many can make that argument. I could say the same about Highlands and Holmes.

[HardWoodFan]

Sorry but just from what is obvious in the 9th region, it's hard to put much credibility on this list. Must have been prepared based on last years results on someone that disconnected from NKY...because having Highlands at 19 and HC at 10 is simply not a realistic conversation.

I agree. Mason should definitely be above Campbell for now, but they are not 16 spots better. Campbell at least deserves to be #25, if nothing else.

Wow!! Henderson might be number 12 but one starter back?? Sam Carter started all year for two years. Also Chester started the whole 2 nd half including post season after Gilbert and Owens went down. Gilbert also was starting until she went down with injury.

Yeah.... Whomever the source for that info was was pretty far off..
