Class 1A

 

Just when you think the pecking order for the east was set, Hazard goes and knocks off Paintsville and proves they are a team definitely deserving of attention. The Bulldogs will try to further their validation against 2A's top team Somerset. Paintsville will look to avoid a losing streak against a very good Union (VA) program. Raceland looked good last week and will have their eyes on a highly tanked 3A prize. It will be an unusual week with 60% of the Top 10 on a BYE week.
