I think they are going to crush Graves this week.

Owensboro crushed Graves last year like 42-7 and then Graves turns around and beats Madisonville 19-0.

There's a couple caveats to that.

Graves had a much better offense last year, the game was at Graves, and the game was also played under major rainfall. I was there at the game last year and still vividly remember how hard the rain was coming down lol.

This year, GC has to go to Madisonville, and with their offense barely pushing past 150 yards per game on average, I don't foresee them even making it close.

Yep, you're crazy. ?

If someone voted Atherton at #3 are they crazy too or would you just have to have a talk with them?

I agree, at least with the top 7 in this poll.  Any matchup at any location should be competitive or at least interesting. 

RPI going to be important?

I think Atherton comes in at the 4-6 range. They played a very good Manual team pretty close and a lot closer than Cooper did, so, you got to give them that, but, I think the verdicts still out due to an unproven history and a relatively weak schedule outside of the Manual game.

I think most teams would rather play at home but I am not sure how important it will be in 5A.

I agree.
