Our Eastern Kentucky Power Rankings are Sponsored by Lake Cumberland Sports

 

LakeCumberlandSports.com is an internet broadcast and media company out of Somerset, KY founded by four guys who love High School Sports and love broadcasting! When local radio decided to opt out of airing High School Sports; We decided to jump in. In 2016, we worked with an out of state company and did well. Starting in 2017, we decided to do this all by ourselves and we have been in Overdrive ever since.

 

We have been named the Official Broadcast Partners for both Southwestern and Pulaski County High Schools. We will be doing Football, Basketball (Boys and Girls), as well as Baseball, and Softball in the spring. We may even sneak in some other sports as well.

 

We can be found at LakeCumberlandSports.com and on Tune-In. All games will be archived throughout the season, so if someone misses a game we will have them covered.

15. Raceland Rams (1A, 3-1)- Rams secure a huge win over Greenup County to earn their first Top 15 appearance of the year. Raceland takes on an always stout Lucasville Valley, OH squad.

 

14. Ashland Tomcats (4A, 2-2)- Tomcats get back to .500 by beating Russell in convincing manner. The rivalry tour continues with Ironton, OH.

 

13. Fleming County Panthers (3A, 3-0)- The Panthers overpower Rowan County and a 5-0 start is well within grasp. Fleming will get some competition from Montgomery County.

 

12. Hazard Bulldogs (1A, 2-1)- Hazard lost a hard hitting war to Somerset but they are hoping a bigger loss did not happen with their star RB leaving with an injury. A much needed week off is next.

 

11. Somerset Briarjumpers (2A, 2-2)- Jumpers are starting to find their mojo and secured a very impressive win at Hazard. The previous week's 7-0 loss to Beechwood also looks much more impressive. No rest for the weary as red hot North Laurel is next.

 

10. Whitley County Colonels (5A, 1-2)- The Colonels rest up and now face a challenge from bell County who are looking to earn a spot in the Top 15 of their own.

 

9. Paintsville Tigers (1A, 3-1)- Paintsville is able to bounce back with a convincing win for 1A pecking order supremacy. It may have came at a cost with Dalton Daniels leaving with an injury. Another Class 1A semi-state showdown awaits with Williamsburg.

 

8. Pulaski County Maroons (5A, 1-3)- The Maroons saw their ship wreck for a third time as they were no match for Danville. Allen County- Scottsville now becomes a "must win" game.

 

7. Rockcastle County (4A, 3-0)- The Rockets are starting to take flight and put hurting on Woodford County. Harrison County should not be much of a threat.

 

6. North Laurel Jaguars (5A, 4-0)- North Laurel has made short work of their schedule thusfar, the last victim being Grant County. Things get a bit more difficult this week.

 

5. Southwestern Warriors (5A, 3-1)- Southwestern tasted defeat for the first time as they could not contain the athleticism of Henry Clay. Southwestern already has one win over Madison County schools and look for their second against Madison Southern.

 

4. Wayne County Cardinals (4A, 3-1)- Wayne County took it on the chin as Boyle County simply outplayed them in every capacity. The Cardinals will need to bounce back against a Harlan County team who will not be happy after their own beatdown.

 

3. Corbin Redhounds (3A, 3-1)- The Hounds reign at the top was short lived. Corbin could not take down the State's top 1A team. It is back to the drawing board for Haddix as they have a week off before a showdown with Mayfield.

 

2. Belfry Pirates (3A, 2-1)- Belfry's offense continues to roll on and their defense showed improvement against 2A Newport Central Catholic. The Pirates take on rival Pikeville before easing into District competition.

 

1. Johnson Central Golden Eagles (4A, 3-0)- Matney's bunch goes 2 for 2 against WV AAA teams by besting South Charleston. The Golden Eagles will see their fourth consecutive ultra athletic team when they load the buses for Louisville to play Moore.

 

 

Fives Scores of Note:

Floyd Central 43 Lynn Camp 14- Yes folks, that is now 4-0 for the Jaguars.

 

Knox Central 43 Harlan County 23- The Panthers make a statement by cruising past the Black bears with surprising ease.

 

Montgomery County 51 GRC 21 - The Indians are a quiet 301 but can suddenly make a lot of noise if they can knock off Fleming County

 

Phelps 49 Jackson County 14- The Hornets start the year 3-0... this is not a typo.

 

West Carter 38 East Carter 20- The Comets take the rivalry game and hand East Carter their first loss.

 

 

Co-Players of the Week:

QB Chandler Dunaway and WR Levi Dunaway, Mason County

The Dunaway boys were superb in Mason County's win over Morgan County.

 

Senior QB Chandler Dunaway was 13/19 for 325 yards and 6 Passing TD's. He also added a a rushing TD and gained 75 more yards on the ground.

 

Senior WR Levi Dunaway caught 7 of those balls for 177 yards and 4 TD's. For good measure he also added 4 tackles on Defense.

 

Game of the Week:

Prestonsburg at Floyd Central- This is more than just bragging rights, this is potentially about both History and The Future. If Floyd Central can knock off the Floyd County powerhouse this will be a cornerstone to the growth of their program. You can count on one finger the number of times P-burg has lost to another Floyd County program in the modern era.

The Floyd Central/Prestonsburg game will be interesting. There is some real bad blood between those two fan bases.

That's a nice looking Top 10. Corbin/Mayfield is going to be a good game.
