Some random thoughts.

I am really glad football season is here, finally!!!!!

This class will be fun to watch.  CAL is definitely the favorite but Central and LexCath are instant upgrades.  I don't know much about Lloyd.  Belfry will have to prove it to me before I would rank them that high, especially this early in the season and after they lost some players to transfer.  I think Lawrence County will be the favorite in their own district. 

Looking at this ranking, there's a lot of interesting games on the slate for this week in the top ten.

Bump.

I expect this to be a better than recent years Lloyd team able to build on last year. How they finish with the move up to 3A, I don't know. I don't know a lot above the 3A schools but based on this and other polls, are most of the "Top Ten" teams on the west side of the state? 

Did Union Co lose a lot I know last year they were in top 5 all year and it looks like they just barely made the rankings this year.

Union did lose some key players from last years team but seem to always find guys to step up when you think they will be down. Don’t sleep on the Braves..
