To spark debate amongst ALL of us I have run across 2 separate Rankings that have been published on social media.  Here they are for us to have a friendly debate over which one is more accurate in our opinion.

NKYHSBSCA (aka Coaches Poll)

1. COOPER

2. DIXIE

3. COV CATH

4. NCC

5 HHS

6. CONNER

7. RYLE

8. BROSSART

9. SIMON KENTON

10. BEECHWOOD

Maher Rankings (aka "A systemic Computer generated ranking")

1. HHS

2. COOPER

3. RYLE

4. DIXIE

5. COV CATH

6. CONNER

7. NCC

8. BROSSART

9. HOLY CROSS (COVINGTON)

10. SIMON KENTON

OK I'll go first.....since both of those rankings have teams in a different order with the exception of Conner #6 and Brossart #8, I will take a crack at it.

1. COOPER

2. DIXIE

3. HHS

4. COV CATH

5. RYLE

6. CONNER

7. NCC

8. BROSSART

9. BEECHWOOD

10. SIMON KENTON

The wildcard in my ranking is NCC, to be honest I haven't seen them play yet.  Their record really stands out so I might have a total different opinion after I watch them against my Birds tomorrow night!!!

 

I will give it a whirl. Some teams I have seen multiple times, others I have not. I do have a few moles planted throughout the Tri-county area feeding me fixture insights.

1. Cooper

2. Dixie

3. HHS

4. NCC

5. Ryle

6. Conner

7. Cov Cath

*Gap*

8. Brossart

9. Grant County (If included)

10. Simon Kenton

11. Beechwood (If Grant is excluded)

I LOVE the *Gap* insert and 100% Totally agree!!! Which is going to make this 9th Region Tournament SO MUCH FUN!!!!

I haven't seen all of the teams play yet so....

I will say, from the teams in 9th region who I HAVE seen play, everyone is in a building year. In my opinion there are some "good" programs, but no excellent ones. Humbly submitted.

I'm a total outsider here, but if you take the school's rank in each of the two Polls above (Coach's + Computer) & order them lowest score to highest you get:
1. Cooper (3pts)

2. Dixie (6pts) + higher RPI

3. HHS (6pts)

4. Cov Cath (8pts)

5. Ryle (10pts)

6. NCC (11pts)

7 Connor (12pts)

8. Brossart (16 pts)

9. SK (19 pts)

Beechwood & Holy Cross eliminated because neither school appeared in both polls. 

Looking at the KHSAA RPI score that looks pretty close.
