Aug 30 vs. Clay County

 

I'm not sure if this one is correct. Clay County is showing 10 games without Breathitt and the Breathitt coach recently posted a request for a game on that date.

Breathitt had really fallen on hard times over the past five or six years, but I expect the Bobcats to be one of the best teams in the East this year.

I just don't see it they barely and I mean barely beat McCreary Central in the open round of the playoffs last year, it would be a huge stretch for them to go from a 1 point first round win over McCreary to an eastern half contender.

While I tend to agree, they’re also moving down a class, into a really weak district, while bringing in an all-state caliber running back (along with some other new players). The team playing this year is in many ways a different everything from the one who played McCreary. That said it’s probably still fools gold for Breathitt.

Who are the other new players Breathitt has added?

They've removed the game from the KHSAA site now.

CA Collins - One of the best running backs in the state.

 

Waddle or Weddle kid from Indiana - Supposed to be a tremendous WR.

 

William Long - A top 20 lineman in KY and the strongest high schooler in KY.

 

Heck of an off season haul.

It’s definitely some good puzzle pieces added and other than maybe Leslie they should romp through the district, but I still don’t see them competing with Mayfield, Beechwood, Somerset, Danville, and LCA for the 2a crown. They probably are a 6-10 ranked team but they aren’t in the top tier, even with the additions.

How do we figure out who the strongest high schooler in KY is?

It’s called the high school State powerlifting championship.

What percent of players in the state participate? Do you think it is above or below 50%?

 

Maybe I am quibbling. Maybe he is the strongest player in the state, but we don't know that. If you want to say he is the state power lifting champ, no doubt about that. I think it is presumptive to call him the strongest player in the state.

William Long is a super-strong kid. I believe he won his weight class in the Kentucky State Powerlifting Meet as a freshman. Just transferred to Breathitt County from Hoptown.

 

To your point though, VoR, participation in the KSPM is spotty, at best. There are probably 200 kids, 300 tops there to compete in the meet most years. Most of the schools in the state, and several entire regions of the state go completely un-represented there. To say that William is the strongest high schooler in Kentucky is an overstep, but you can safely say he is the strongest high schooler in Kentucky that competes in the Kentucky State Powerlifting Championship.

Agreed. Not to sidetrack the thread, but do any schools from Louisville, N. Ky. and/or Lexington have kids competing in powerlifting?

 

Is there a website or link to meet results?

Isn’t that like saying Martins Licis and Halfpor Bjornsson are not the strongest men in the world because not every man competed?
