The usual suspects.

4A will be fun to watch come post season!  Second deepest class IMO

[Tkinslow]

I think John Hardin might should be ranked a little higher I saw them Friday and they looked pretty good.

John Hardin has a huge test this Friday in their matchup with Bardstown. This matchup will go a long way in determining if John Hardin is back as a program to be taken seriously. Doug Preston is a proven winner and I believe that he can take John to the next level.

After the showing by Franklin County on Friday I feel like they deserve to be number 3, but the top 4 have clearly separated themselves in 4A.

In case you haven't looked at the schedule, Franklin and Corbin will play next Friday. That 3rd place spot will be figured out real fast.

Should be a great game.

Our biggest challenge currently is getting every starter on the field at the same time. I like our team but we were missing some kids last Friday night and will be missing more this coming Friday for a variety of reasons. The positive from that is that backups and sometimes freshman (we started a couple last Friday and played some more as back ups) get live varsity reps. Hopefully we can hold off Covid and other injuries this season. I think many schools are in the same situation currently. Thanks for the positive outlook. We just try to keep our head down and get better daily.

Thanks for your outlook. I always enjoy when coaches get on here and tell us their point of view.

Unpopular Opinion: The birds of the capital city deserve a higher nod than 4. Especially after rolling Scott like they did. Flyers will be 2-0 heading into a week 3 matchup with Corbin.  I expect the FC to roll on Corbin.

I heard that. How bad will they roll Corbin you think? I’ll say this if they do, no one will get close to them this year. 

[Hard Work]

I think it will be a two touchdown game. To lose their starting QB and Top WR and to look like they did last week was impressive. AGAIN, its an unpopular opinion for a reason.

I think it’s safe to say Franklin played the best teams last year and almost beat them all. No reason to think they can’t do it now either. Very good team. So is Corbin. Unlike Franklin, we have to win a game against the top 5 to get some respect. Franklin already has the respect, we don’t. That game should be a good measuring stick for both teams. Don worry, I have already heard, we don’t have a chance. We shall see.

I don’t think you are trying to take a shot at Franklin, but they did have the most impressive win of the 2020 season, at Reigning 4A State champ Johnson Central.
