Until someone beats them, convincingly, it's Beechwood.

It’s Beechwood for sure. Flip a coin between CovCath, Ryle, or Dixie who would be a distant second. And maybe in that order.

Cooper beat Dixie, and literally one play away from beating both  Covcath and Ryle. So Im not sure you can talk about the second best without at least having Cooper in that conversation. 

Yeah I am not as high on Dixie as some others.  I would be more inclined to go with Beechwood then Ryle.....then a CovCath/Cooper ranking.  Now if Dixie steps up Fri. then we will have to include them.  I see them as more of a solid 5th currently.

Beechwood

Cov cath

Ryle

FT Highlands

CalPreps has it:

Beechwood

Ryle

CovCath

Cooper

Dixie

FTH

Conner

SK

Scott

NCC

Holmes

Campbell

Boone

Curious on Highlands. Based off what exactly, would you have them 4th still?

Based off results so far this year, this looks the most accurate. Except I probably would have Conner over Highlands still for now.

Unfortunately they only get to play once so using the Cooper game against Dixie is a fair point. My opinion, Dixie is still the better team and got caught on a bad night. If any of the teams I mentioned played Cooper tomorrow Cooper loses. Not knocking Cooper, hats off to them and their season, they are making waves and do deserve to be in the conversation. My opinion, they would be a close 5th. At any rate the original post... Beechwood is the best team in NKY.

So Cooper beat Dixie. Cooper also took a Covcath team who also beat Dixie to 4 OTs. Yet somehow Dixie still is considered better currently?
 

I do agree that Beechwood is the best in NKY this year. I have been saying that since basically the start of the season. 

As of this week:

1. Beechwood

2. Ryle

3. Cov Cath

4. Cooper

5. Dixie Heights

6. Conner

7. Highlands

8. Simon Kenton

Pretty good drop off after those 8.

It's Beechwood this year.
