I had someone make a statement to me about the best "Area" football team. For people around Danville, Kentucky, that has always meant the teams covered by the Advocate-Messenger newspaper. Here they are in alphabetical order (I left Kentucky School for the Deaf off the list).

 

Boyle County

Casey County

Danville

Garrard County

Lincoln County

Mercer County

 

How would you rank them?

My list:

 

1. Danville

2. Mercer County

3. Lincoln County

4. Boyle County

5. Garrard County

6. Casey County

1.)Danville

2.)Mercer

3.)Boyle

4.)Lincoln

5.)Casey

6.)Garrad

1-Danville

2-Boyle County

3-Mercer County

4-Casey County

5-Lincoln County

6-Garrard County

 

 

I know that Boyle lost to Mercer but I think that was an aberration. I really think Boyle is still the better team.

 

I also liked what I saw early in the game last week from Casey County.

1-Danville

2-Boyle County

6-Garrard County

I don't think it would be close between your #4 and #5 teams. I think Lincoln would roll against Casey. Also, I don't think many people would agree with you that the Mercer win over Boyle County was an "aberration".

I would tend to agree with you about the Mercer game. Boyle had their leading rusher out due to injury. With that said, here goes.

 

1. Danville

2. Boyle Co.

3. Lincoln Co.

4. Mercer Co.

5. Casey Co.

6. Garrard Co.

 

I think it's a toss up between Lincoln and Mercer..

Mercer Co.

Boyle Co

Danville

Lincoln Co

Garrard Co

Casey Co

 

IMO, Mercer won fairly handily against Boyle and from what I hear, Boyle outplayed Danville, so, maybe that Admiral win was an abberration(sp?).

Lincoln is playing well also, but, maybe just a step behind the other 3...

Mercer Co.

Boyle Co

Danville

Lincoln Co

Garrard Co

Casey Co

 

There goes the concensus for Danville as #1.

1. Danville

2. Mercer County

These two are probably interchangeable

 

3. Lincoln County

4. Boyle County

These two are probably interchangeable

 

5. Casey County

6. Garrard County

These two are probably interchangeable; we'll find out when they play on October 13

1.Mercer County

2.Danville

3.Lincoln County

4.Boyle County

5.Garrard County

6.Casey County

I'll give it a try Mr. Network:

 

1. Danville

2. Mercer County

3. Lincoln County

4. Boyle County

 

 

5. Casey County and Garrard County.

 

 

That's to this point in the season. :thumb:

1. Danville

2. Mercer

3. Lincoln (for this season this far)

4. Boyle

5. Garrard

6. Casey

I'll give it a try Mr. Network:

 

1. Danville

2. Mercer County

3. Lincoln County

4. Boyle County

 

 

5. Casey County and Garrard County.

 

 

That's to this point in the season. :thumb:

 

 

Hatz,

 

Too bad Boyle and Lincoln aren't playing this year. I think it would be one of those knock-down, drag-out affairs that we used to see back in the day!

1 Mercer Co.

2 Danville

3 Boyle Co.

3 Lincoln Co.

5 Casey Co.

6 Garrard Co.

1 Mercer Co.

2 Danville

3 Boyle Co.

3 Lincoln Co.

5 Casey Co.

6 Garrard Co.

 

I think the top four are pretty close to each other. I don't think there is a clear cut consensus. I think within the next month when Boyle has it at the level they want that this will be one of the strongest areas in the state. Casey plays hard with the 28 players that they have. Mercer was playing alot of the JV in the second qtr but they did put that nice drive together early in the game. I think Garrard Co is a team that is getting better quickly with them playing so many young kids. They play with no fear and that bolds well for the future. I have always backed the area teams. Danville has always in the past made the area known for football. Lincoln had some very good teams in 90's. Then Boyle came on in the 90's as well and everybody knows the trail they burned through this state. I still to this day think that a couple of those Boyle teams were the best in the state over the Big guys in Louisville. Now Lincoln is back and Boyle is about to get back on track from their murderous schedule and Mercer and Harrodsburg uniting. This area will be stronger then ever. Good luck to everybody as we start district play.
