Can Owensboro Catholic get the #1 spot if Beechwood wins out? If so, It will be Belfry at OC and LCA at Beechwood.

Way too early to project OWP andOOWP. With the weak District Beechwood plays in and the combination of the out of state victory they actually might have been better RPI served by only playing 9 games and no Ohio game. Granted no game accomplishes only RPI boost and nothing on the field.

    I would say the 3rd/4th rounds would look like this in the WEST: LCA at Catholic Mayfield at Somerset Winners play each other Round 4 I think Round 4 in the EAST would look like Belfry vs. Beechwood

    True. To that end, if you think there is a clear top three, then finishing #1 is an advantage because you will only play 1 of the top 2. If you are the 2 seed, you could possibly face both #3 and #1 i

Every one of the top teams lost points this week except Danville. Danville had a slight increase with their win over WEB Dubois.

However, Beechwood lost more points than the teams behind them. The OOWP is the category hurting Beechwood.

I feel like it would be a MAJOR upset for Danville to knock off LCA....

So - if this occurs...what do we think about my predicted RPI at the bottom?

  • LCA finishes out 8-2 with wins over Danville, Washington County & RPI game against 6A Pleasure Ridge Park

  • Beechwood finishes 10-0 with wins over Gallatin, Bracken and RPI game against 6A Campbell Co

  • Mayfield finishes 9-1 with wins over Trigg Co, Fort Campbell and RPI game over 3A Central

  • Owensboro Catholic finishes 9-1 with wins over McLean County & RPI game over 4A E-town

  • Danville finished 9-1 with loss to LCA and win over 1A Caverna

  • Belfry finished 9-1 with wins over Shelby Valley, Betsy Layne and 3A Letcher County Central

  • Breathitt Co. finishes 8-2 with wins over West Carter & Jackson Co and loss to 3A Russell.

  • Somerset finishes 9-1 with wins over Monroe County, RPI game over 6A Christian Co and 1A Hazard.


Toughest games go project there are Breathitt vs. Russell and Somerset vs. Christian County...

...then I see this:

  1. Beechwood

  2. LCA

    • The margin here will be very thin - but I think Beechwood narrowly holds onto 1

  3. Owensboro Catholic

  4. Mayfield

    • OC's win (in this scenario) over 4A E-town just barely gets them ahead of Mayfield who plays a lesser 3A Central

  5. Danville

  6. Belfry

  7. Somerset

  8. Breathitt County

    • Danville drops in WP and their game against 1A Caverna doesn't help them, BUT the RPI separation now is too big for Belfry to jump over them.

    • Somerset victory over 6A Christian County helps them leap over Breathitt County (who gets hurt by a loss to Russell)

What about OOPW? I think for Catholic they need DC to win some games and Apollo to win their games as well. If they don't get to play at Steele Stadium this will be the first time in the RPI era Owensboro Catholic will have to play on the road. That's insane!!!!

It is called “Disrict Free-Fall” for Beechwood and happens every year.

Yes, fortunately this year the other 2A teams are in a similar district free fall playing district teams with bad records.

LCA’s OPW is going to be the difference at year end currently at .8315 with the other top teams a huge variance below. Their coming victory over an undefeated Danville will enhance that #, possibly increasing the differential assuming their tough early opponents continue to win.

This is exactly how I see it going... Mayfield at Cath, Somerset at LCA in R3 with Beechwood and Belfry coming out of the East. Sets up for the Mayfield/OCath winner traveling to LCA while Beechwood hosts Belfry in the semis.

As a Beechwood fan I will take that with no complaints.

ROUND 3

  • Somerset at Mayfield - "The Parkway Showdown/Punishment"

  • Owensboro Catholic at Lexington Christian - "The Bluegrass Holy War"

  • St. Henry at Beechwood - "Whateva happened there...." (for you Sopranos fans)

  • Prestonsburg at Belfry - "The Clash in Coal County"

ROUND 4

  • LCA/Owensboro Catholic winner at Mayfield

  • Belfry at Beechwood

My bad, with Belfry and just behind Mayfield.

I am on a similar path. I rank 2A as follows:

Beechwood > O Cath > LCA > Mayfield > Somerset > Belfry

I want to say something similar to that but I don't believe I have enough information to do so.

I do still believe Beechwood is #1 and OCath and LCA are in a virtual tie at two.
