This is a good post and I'm right there with ya outside of ranking CovCath above Highlands. Their skill positions will make up for lack of depth on the line.

Plus, Highlands has had a number of great teams where they were 200 across the line. Beef isn't everything.

Remember CovCath is still playing a schedule put together by former coach just before his departure. It seems pretty obvious that he made sure it would be as tough as possible to make it look like if he couldn't fix the program the next coach won't be able to either. I expect covcath to be improved from last season and even better next year.

 

That's a conspiracy theory that doesn't fly. That schedule was made well before Wirth had an inkling of leaving. There's no truth to making it this tough just to make the next coach "look bad."

1. Ryle

2. Simon Kenton

3. Cooper

4. Highlands

5. CovCath

6. NewCath

7. Scott

8. Beechwood

9. Holy Cross

10. Campbell County

1. SK - The best NKY team last year with the most coming back and an undefeated JV team to support the returning starters

2. Ryle - Morgan and crew will be improved from last year but will it be enough to fully close the gap with the Pioneers ?

3. Cooper - While I think they take a step back this year it will not be a very big one. They return some playmakers and Borchers is a terrific coach.

4. Cov Cath - I know you can't rank them ahead of HHS until they beat them but its my top ten. AJ will be much improved from last year and I think they have more coming back up front than HHS

5. Highlands - It sounds like they have the offensive skill positions covered in the Fort but do they have enough upfront on both sides of the ball to beat anyone ranked above them?

6. Scott - Welcome to life without the two stud running backs lucky for them they still have a lot upfront and Nelson Perrin to fill the void.

7. Dixie - They were young last year and gained valuable experience. Cameron Barrett should have a big year

8.9.10. Beechwood, NCC, Holy Cross - Holy Cross has the most coming back but were also 0-2 against them. NCC has Henschen, HC has Abernathy & Barnes, and Beechwood has Justice & Castleman I think these three separate themselves at the line of scrimmage. Lucky for us they all play each other.

 

HM- Conner - They started off last year off the list and do so again but I have to think by the end of the season they may be back there again.

 

I agree that Nelson Perrin will have a great year. He has been a playmaker since his days in Boone County Pee Wee football.

Cov Cath and Cooper are competing in 7 on 7 tomorrow morning. It will be interesting to see how they add up against one another given their proximity to one another in all of the rankings folks have posted thus far.

Do you know where and what time this 7 on 7 is tomorrow?

Did anyone happen to make it to this, or hear how it went?

Didn't see it but heard it was Cov Cath pretty decisively.

I just can't put Cooper as high as they have them in that link considering they are still looking for(or developing) a QB. I like the kids and they have talent- but not that high IMO
