I'm not so sure it's not the juvenile approach from the viewer and their view point. Three 5A teams above .500 -- 9-1, 7-3, 5-5 and won all three. Not to shabby. Looks pretty deserving to me.

 

You are exactly right. My question would be when is the last time any so-called mountain team won a state championship?

Hazard is undefeated and deserves the ranking. Can they beat Beechwood? I think they could in a normal game. If they don't get the "deer in the headlight look" at PJS they have a good shot. However, they (Hazard and Beechwood) have a long way to go and by that time we may be talking about two different teams.

Those 5A teams Hazard beat are in the weakest district in 5A without a doubt. Not mention none of those 5A teams Hazard beat none of them have a quality win over anyone. All of their wins came over very weak competition.

Do Belfry and Russell count.

I'll give you Belfry but not Russell. I would say Middlesboro in '98 the most recent.

Breathitt won in 2002

None of those 5A teams are even close to being ranked, either. Surely you're not insinuating that Hazard's schedule rivals Beechwood's ...

I really have not seen Hazard play just read on here and in the paper's how they were doing this year. Number one to go undefeated you have to be doing something right. I know Beechwood and have seen them play several times this year and they have a good team. Hazard for being undefeated deserves the number one ranking per their peer's and we should not take that away from them. Hopefully they both meet down the road and we can let the player's decide who is number one. For the time being congrats to the Hazard coaching staff and player's and good luck in the playoff's. JD

When is the last time someone from Western Kentucky won a State title. When is the last time someone other that X or T won their class.

Mayfield beat Beechwood in 2002 for the Class A Title
