I have no doubt Raceland and Pikeville always find a way to reload. I believe KCD is ready to make a run. I am also interested to see what Campbellsville will look like as well. 

Right now it feels like Raceland is 1A and Campbellsville is 1B. KCD is right there in the mix, but I don’t think they’re quite in the same tier.

Yes, KCD beat Campbellsville last year but that was basically the bizarro episode of the season. Campbellsville turned it over inside the 5 twice, inside the 10 once, and didn’t have a kicker. This year, they do have a kicker, which means those “drive stalls” having to go for it instead of kicking, now turn into actual points.

And again this is no knock on KCD. They’re disciplined, they’ll capitalize if you screw up, and they’ll be in every big game they play.

Pikeville? Total mystery box right now. They were a little down last year, but they played a brutal schedule and lost to eventual champ Sayre. Speaking of Sayre, I think they take a step back this year. Newport Central Catholic? I have no clue what they return, but history says you never pencil them in as an easy win.
