I'd say they have potential for at least 4 wins during the regular season. And you've gotta assume they play either Scott Co or Douglass in the first round of the playoffs so that will be a loss. Realistically I think all of their non-district schedule is pretty evenly matched and several games could really go either way. From the couple of times I've seen Grant play in years past, I always felt like their kids were surprisingly small, across the board. Not sure if that's a regular thing they struggle with or not, but I definitely was surprised at how small they were up front especially. I don't follow the program in particular but whenever I check scores I'm kinda always low-key root for them because they're one of those schools that is just set up to get their keisters handed to them in district play.

According the the 19-20 KHSAA audited numbers Grant is at 516 male enrollment. There are only three 5A programs smaller I believe those 3 asked to play up. Highlands is one of those 3. Breckinridge is at like 495 and there is a Louisville school. About 24% of 4A has a larger enrollment (Johnson Co is around 570) than Grant. So they are basically a 4A team in a 5A district with two district opponents trending toward 6A (Fredrick Douglas and Great Crossing). 
 

Past the district opponents most of the schedule is against similar size rosters and makeup. A majority of the offense will be going into their third year as starters. Unless things change they’ll always have to play some young guys or guys a little sooner. 
 

Going back over I think their last 12 games they have played Douglas and Scott Co a total of 5 times. 4 of the other games of course were MoCo and Great Crossing (which according to social media has a large number of college prospects including the Perry kid). It will be interesting to see how that experience pays off for the 21 season.
