What Class 1A team has been the most surprising this season?

[Bac2369]

What’s your thoughts on the most suprising team in 1A? Why do you think so? Do they have a shot at title or deep playoff run?

[snakesnot_2000]

Crittenden County , no doubt. I could see them going deep and I think they have a chance for the Title.

Sayre.

End of discussion.

From a team who won 1 game and lost to Phelps by 28 points to undefeated and possibly hosting a Regional Finals game.

Sayre and Hazard.

I know Hazard had a tough off season with coach changes and other issues, but I did not expect Hazard to struggle this much.

Private School in Lexington that's been around for years but never competed in football.

Football program started in 2018.

Former Marshall university and longtime NFL Quarterback Chad Pennington is the H.C.

Went 1-7 last year and did not compete in a  District.

Competed for a District this year and are currently 8-0 and #5 in the RPI (3rd best RPI in East)

They are on Calpreps for the full 223 team statewide rankings. They weren’t supposed to be eligible for the playoffs until 2021 but were allowed to take the fourth spot in District 7 after Jenkins dropped their varsity program.

If you take Sayre rating in statewide rankings and applied it to 1A they would be 9th.

Actually incorrect. Sayre had a football program in the 70's. I saw them play beechwood in Lexington.

Yes. I believe their last season was 1974. But Pennington has absolutely built from scratch.
