I’m sure there are others, but I think Trinity and LCA made the loudest statements of anyone.
 

With all players returning that did for Bryan Station and for Trinity to win as they did allowing BS only 3 points, don’t know how many thought it would be as one sided as it was.

LCA came into the season with a #3 preseason ranking in 2A and beats one of the state’s best teams in Bowling Green who’s always best or one of the best in 5A consistently. 
 

As mentioned, I’m sure there were others, but these are the two standing out most to me.

Paris beating Frankfort 50-0. 

Lloyd over NCC was a strong win. 

Statement Wins:

LCA- That is a huge statement against a 5A contender and proves 2A teams better pack a lunch to defend them.

Boyle County- The hype is real and the speed is real. They thoroughly beat down a solid OOS team.

Pikeville- Pulaski is a solid 5A school, you don't see 1A schools dominate solid 5A schools like that unless they are special.

Highlands- I ain't saying they are back, but I am saying that Bob Sphire has them back playing at a high level  at the very least.

Trinity- That's a statement to the rest of 6A that you better not get comfortable expecting the Shamrocks to stay down long.

Bullitt East- Probably not a one hit wonder. The Chargers are still going to be expected to win a lot of games.

 

Statement Losses:

Paintsville- Go ahead and scratch Paintsville off your 1A Contenders card.

Hazard- See above.

Hopkinsville- Not a good look for the Tigers.

Somerset- A different definition of a statement loss. This statement is that we need more and better officials who understand the rules.

Freddy D- That's a really good team they played and it doesn't mean that the Broncos are done for... but it does mean that they are not a special team/program that can carry the KY flag like some of the better Trinity teams could.

 

A Little of Both:

Lloyd/NCC- I see you Lloyd.... meanwhile NCC probably wishes noone would like at them for a while after that.

Ballard/Southwestern- Both teams probably cemented themselves as Top 20 teams regardless of class.

Belfry/Breathitt- Belfry looks much improved and looks like a Top 5 3A team... Breathitt looks like a 2A Pretender.

Tilghman/McCracken- Tilghman definitely has a good team, but McCracken will once again underperform and watch their program play at a level below expectations.
