This one looks good to me too.

I also forgot Franklin County. They will be in the Top 10 by the end of the season IMO if they aren't already.

It's tough to get a solid pre-season poll. Can't tell how on paper will translate to the court. On paper, GRC looks to be a serious threat to take the tall trophy, but who knows how this will play out?

Did John Hardin get some major transfers in I'm not aware of? They weren't much last year (10-18), not even making it to the region, and they lost the only coach in school history to Nelson Co. They'll be in major rebuilding mode.

 

North Hardin and Bardstown are the powers of the 5th Region, with Central Hardin and Adair Co. as dark horses.

Bardstown's 6'5 center has a football injury that may effect what they do this year. That's what I was told by a parent of one of their golfers at the All A state golf tournament in Richmond.

I agree Doc. It will be interesting to review this thread at the end of the season.GRC does have the height and a Sophomore loaded class. I like our odds better this year than last year coming out of our region...

 

So much can happen and some teams fly under the radar. But it is something to talk about and discuss while we wait for basketball season to start.

Actually, Demarco is more of a swingman. And I haven't heard an update on his status, but he's pushing hard to be ready for basketball, and is hoping to be released to get a few football games in.

This looks about right. No way Bryan Station, Mason Co., or Madisonville North Hopkins is top 10 in the state. Im not so sure that Lex Cath is , but I would say they would fall between 10-15. They lost alot of fire power last year and are very young in a lot of spots.

Well Mason County deserves some love after all they are the defending state champs. Of course Russ Middleton will be the focal point of the offense and I think he has what it takes to put them in the top 10 even though the royals lost 4 of the 5 starters from last season. Also Madisonville-Norht Hopkins I know as a whole is not the best team in their region but because they are blessed with Jon Hood on their roster who is nationally ranked. I think his team has to be in the top 10 if he is ranked on Rivals as high as he is.

 

I didn't know Mason Co lost all that. They will have a tough time getting in the top 10 then.

They won't make it out of their region this year, IMO.

I like this top 10. A well rounded make-up. Where is Western KY?

Holmes vs Scott County at the new NKU arena will be a good one to be at.

LOL.

I always respect your opinion, but I must say, no Elliott Co suprised me in your list.

 

That was a mistake. I thought I put Elliott Co. in there. Here is my edited top 10:

 

1. Scott Co.

4. Clark Co.

5. Manual

I was thinking I had Elliott Co. in there. That would put North Hardin out. I believe that North Hardin, Male, Eastern, Franklin Co, Warren Central, Christian Co, Adair Co, and my dark horse, Tates Creek are in the next level of teams.
