It seemed like the teams in WKY were down this year, overall, not just the finals performance from last week.

 

Any thoughts on this?

Western Ky football is not very good when you compare it to the rest of the state.

As recently as 2003 they have had some solid teams in the larger classes. They had St.X down 9-6 going late into the semi-finals game that year and had a number of chances to put it away.

There are alot of solid teams in 2a in WKy when you look at Ft Campbell, OBoro Catholic, Metcalfe Co, Trigg Co and Caldwell Co. In addition, Murray & Heath are capable teams. In this class anyway, I think it matches up very well with any other area. Besides Mayfield and Fulton Co, 1a is very weak in WKy, especially when Mayfield was so young this year.

3a, I have to agree. It's Tilghman and noone else. Well, Russellville is decent, but, those are the only 2. But, to be honest, 3a is pretty weak everywhere, not just in WKy. 4a is weak, example: Lone Oak dominating and see what happened at state. Calloway and Hopkins Central are decent and WEast was solid, but, weak class overall in WKy. I think 5a is fairly strong. Hopkinsville wasn't a typical Hoptown this year, nor was WCentral but in normal years they would be competing toe to toe with BGreen and Owensboro and Christian Co is always talented and dangerous. 6a doesnt have a team who can compete with the Louisville area teams but who can. They do have alot of balance with Marshall, Henderson, Graves, Apollo, Daviess Co and Madisonville, but, none of these are going to compete with the big dogs in that class.
