I still think St X is the best team in the state and that entire top 10 is deserving. I also think that Lloyd, GRC & Woodford will all be over the next month as they assimilate players and get everyone healthy.

Hazard has only one loss this season, a 2 point decision to a good out-of-state team in one of the southern holiday tournaments, and owns wins over Ashland, Harlan County and Madison Central. They’re probably better than number 28 by quite a bit.
