I agree. Kinda reminds me of the Seahawks vs Patriots in the superbowl why not feed your best player 4 times with less than 5yards to go… But next year with Burk, Green, Dillard all play makers returning. I don’t think that much pressure will be on Hampton to make it to round 2 or 3 next yr. Getting other play makers involved will just open things up that much more for Hampton. 

Well said. The region as a whole opens up a bit next season and I feel like Owensboro will be at the top of most pecking orders preseason due to the talent they have returning, coupled with hard hits from graduation for BG and South. If you're a Devil fan, I'm sure you'd love to see another tester so that the back half of the season isn't dragging out with multiple no contest games just because you will be more talented. I know they have played X previously and I thought that was an outstanding game for them. Something similar to that would be ideal.

Purples still return enough to be a big threat. Barber, Trussle, Smith and some more think they’ll be the team for O to beat out of the west still. South is moving to 6A aren’t they? I would like to see O pick 6A St. X back up. Rather than 3A CAL which hurts us in RPI.

Honestly completely forgot about the reclassification next year when I made that post. Good call. Yes, BG will still have solid pieces. I don't expect a tremendous fall off but it will be interesting to compare notes going in to 2025 to determine who will be expected to be where in rankings.
